I Heart NY


I recently did a poster advertising my favorite spot in NY, Sheeps Meadow in Central Park. This is a poster using contour drawings I have done in the past in the park.

Here are a group of self-portraits drawn by a man who is under the influence of LSD. Every couple of hours, he is asked to make another drawing, while the up the dosage of the drug. The results are pretty intriguing.

I found this on Cindy Wood's blog Learn Daily. She has a plethora of figurative contour drawings.

Journal Fodder Junkie



This is such a cool idea. He did a blind contour of himself, cut it up, pasted it together then re-drew over the lines to make it a new drawing.
I will be doing this soon.

Jason Mraz



I looooove Mr. Mraz, and it makes me so happy he is using contour drawings for his album artwork.

WELCOME!

Annie and I have started a movement, The Line Movement. This is an art movement that focuses on the use of contour drawing. This will be a place for us to post our works involving contour drawings, as well as us to post other sightings of the uses of contours. Enjoy and join the movement!
