Description
I'm posting some of my notebook pieces tonight. Not that different from my "regular" work but perhaps a bit.Related content

This reminds me of a short film I think you might like...it's about all the most well known colors, and it's really quirky and often includes semi-abstract stills that look like your work. Unfortunately, I can't find the link anywhere now. I'll try to find it for you.

Thanks, I would love to see it if you find it. There's a neat book called Colors by Ken Nordine and Henrik Drescher - Drescher is someone I like a lot.

Found it! [link]
I totally have to get a copy of the Colors book. The cover looks wild. From what I googled, Henrik Drescher's work reminds me a lot of Dieter Roth's artist books. Really cool stuff.

That movie was great, thank you so much! The combination of visuals and deadpan narration and music was perfect.
Colors is excellent and used copies at amazon are a steal. I love Drescher's handmade book Dancers, I bought it through his website from himself. Here it is on the book by its cover blog [link] (one of those links about it is broken but it's still inside Drescher's site with many other cool books he's made).
And thanks for mentioning Dieter Roth, I believe I had heard his name but did not know his work, it's great.

Haha, glad you enjoyed it. :] The segment for blue must be my favorite.
This Drescher character is brilliant. Thank you for the recommendation; I feel like a kid in a candy store navigating his website! His drawings and paintings of people are just a riot. And who is mr. antsandwich? It's interesting that he is Danish; back at RISD we had a group of Danish painters give us lectures about their work. They were all paper artists, and their work was really really strange. Kinda like this guy. I'm noticing a pattern here...

The blue was great, and I laughed at the forbidden purple segment - that's my wife's favorite color.
I'm glad you like Drescher, he's something else, isn't he! Yes, I think Danish artists and other Europeans too, have some things going on that Americans don't! If memory serves I came across Drescher long ago in a magazine article about several European artists who had come to North America.

Planning is mostly either boring (or goes wrong

Excellent and the simplicity makes it a primer form. ( I dropped an e, but if it landed on your table I'm sure you'll use it.)

Ha - thanks and absolutely, my table saves everything that fits and keeps on saving stuff when it doesn't.

You just have to decide whether you want to pay anyway.

Always a toss-up for me. Except on those frequent occasions where I have no cash.

Ha! That simplifies it for sure.

Former Prime? So was the notebook the former prime, the former AAA, the former place where everything was glued together, and now it has been dethroned by some iPad?
