The Drawing Center in New York City put out an open call for drawing submissions -- Viewing Program 20/21 (apply by November 30th). The requirement is that "drawings should be central to the applicant's body of work."
However drawings are also the basis for work in more substantial mediums, so first I wanted to reflect on how my drawings developed into sculpture and prints, mostly through collaborations with other artists.
SCULPTURE
3D Relief
Dennis Liberty translated one of my drawings from my first self-published book into a relief sculpture, which later Gonzalo Espinosa turned into a ceramic relief sculpture in 2011.
Alison Aragon and Eric Koenig later helped me translate this relief into "transparent sculpture."
Figure Embedded In Crystal
James Stewart translated one of my drawings into a 3D file, with floating pieces. I had the STL file lasered into a crystal cube with vitrography in 2012. It is sort of like a solid hologram.
Digital to Styrofoam
Drawing into Metal
PRINTMAKING
Desert Triangle Print Carpeta
Taller 75 Grados of Mexico City translated my drawing into a large serigraph for the Desert Triangle Print Carpeta in 2015.
David Figueroa of Augment El Paso enhanced my print with augmented reality in 2015.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Manuel Guerra collaborated on a print edition pulled by Taller 75 Grados in Mexico City in 2019. My drawing was first enhanced by the AI (artificial intelligence) online program Deep Dream Generator.
SKINPOP COLLABORATION
Raul Urias of Skinpop in Mexico City freely translated two of my drawings into a serigraph print edition, pulled by Taller 75 Grados in 2016.
COLORED
WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS
Joshua Woodhall colored one of my drawings before Gonzalo Espinosa made it into a serigraph print at the Sculpture Resource Center in Tucson in 2012.
PRINT EXCHANGES
AMBOS LADOS INTERNATIONAL PRINT EXCHANGE
Manuel Guerra printed this etching edition of my drawing, after I had it laser cut and etched on copper, in 2018 for the Ambos Lados International Print Exchange.
HORNED TOAD II
Taller 75 Grados in Mexico City helped me color this print, and pulled my serigraph print edition for the Horned Toad II Print Exchange in 2017.
YAYBIG PRINT EXCHANGE
Gonzalo Espinosa and Tanya Rich helped me make my serigraph print edition for the YayBig Print Exchange in 2014.
HORNED TOAD PRINT EXCHANGE
Joe Marshall helped me print this edition, after I laser cut a wood panel to make a relief print for the first Horned Toad Print Exchange in 2014.
DIALOGOS Y INTEPRETACIONES
PRINT EXCHANGE 2015
DRAWN DIRECTLY ONTO THE PLATE
Manuel Guerra printed a waterless lithography edition after I drew from a live model onto the aluminum plate in 2013.
DRAWING
INTO OTHER MEDIUMS
CHINESE PAINTING
I sent one of my drawings to Xiamen, China to get it painted in oil (through Sun Bird Arts).
FUZZY BLANKET
John Tollett ordered a fuzzy blanket on Zazzle with my AI (artificial intelligence) altered drawing on it in 2019.
BOOKS
John Tollett designed my second book of drawings self-published on Amazon in 2018.
I self-published my first book of drawings on Lulu in 2018.
COLLABORATION
YET TO EMERGE
John Tollett and I collaborated back and forth online to arrive at the image below in 2020. We have as of yet to make a fuzzy blanket, or send it to China to be painted, or otherwise.
