MicroDoodles No. 29092

Description

This is the most extensive micro doodle I have ever done. I spent almost 50 hours to complete this wonder. It has 1000's of miniature drawings and tiny little phrases. I use .13 .18 .25 and a variety of other size Koh-i-noor Rapidograph pens with india ink. The canvas is coated with 3 coats of Golden phosphorescent blue and teal paint. It glows for hours in the dark. It lights up my whole room. Embedded with neodymium magnets so it will hang on a smooth metal surface. Size 14 3/4" x 30" x 3"

Since 1996 I have signed and numbered over 29,000 pieces. Years ago I began to draw my tiny drawings. I never thought of selling any of my micro doodles. I drew hundreds of them on paper, but never thought of putting them on canvas until 2000. When I first began to create my doodle boxes the canvas would chew up my pens. I use Koh-i-noor Rapidograph® pens and the tips are very fragile. I needed to paint on a smoother surface, so I painted a coating of paint on the canvas to make the pen glide easier. I found a phosphorecent blue paint that works wonders. It also lights my art up in the dark! After begining to doodle on my glowbox canvas's I couldn't stop.

I use an array of different size pens to create a texture and mosaic of ink. Different images appear from various distances. The scribbles draw the viewer in down to the surface of the canvas. Like the abstract surface of nature, my doodles attempt to capture the chaos in the world on a microscopic level.

I am near sighted and use no magnification to do my art. I find the illustrations seem to draw themselves. In the sun I can let the pen take off and just go. I go into a sort of doodle trance. Music helps the pen flow. Nature helps the ink flow smoother.
