Why do we draw? Let me start off by saying that, for me, drawing stands as synecdoche for all of art. At least the visual arts. I think it is foundational in that it teaches us to see; it teaches us to use our eyes properly. Without drawing there would…

In the midst of working on my brand new linocut, I have been working on another linocut. It’s kind of like this: See how cool your host is? I went so far as to go to a free meme generator for this! I am really having a linocut renaissance here.…

I did a couple of drawings on commission the other day. My friend has written a few stories for the Rafiki Foundation. His stories are meant to be used in a Logic curriculum. But I think my drawings don’t have to be. His stories tell of how hyenas became nuts,…

This is the end. Not of the book of Romans, but of my drawing. I ended it in chapter 11 whereas the actual book has 16 chapters. What’s the matter Clark, did you get lazy? Did you run out of paper for your scrawling? I didn’t get lazy, but I…
