Let's try and shove that ol' guilty silhouette right off the page. How about a sketch book page to start off with? The mountains represent Mount Rainier, Washington, where we have taken some of our most fun vacations. It must be one of the most beautiful spots on earth. The truck is a recycling truck that picks up our bin every Friday morning.
Nice notes.I like how the truck has no hard angles. Even the tires are nice and loose. You're right the old sketch needed to be moved down. I'll contribute tonight or tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteAwesome drawing... I love that truck. All those pipes and stuff. Really wonderful and in a strange way, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow Tom. Very cool. The whole page is just fun to look at. I like the dichotomy of the hard garbage truck surrounded by pristine nature. I don't know if it was intentional, but you've made some kind of political statement people will rally behind. In fact, this will be their new flag!
ReplyDelete... And you just thought you were scribbling.
Hmmm, you're right. Ha, I didn't realize I was being political.
ReplyDeleteNice! I totally agree with Scott's observation!
ReplyDeleteSo did you run beside the truck to get all that detail or what?
BTW I've been trying to contribute from work but they might have shut off my uploading capability!!
No, when I first got my digital camera about three years ago I was taking pictures of everything I could. I took pictures of all the trucks that were in our neighborhood. While I was taking a picture of one truck, the driver actually jumped out of the cab and asked me what I was doing. He said the city was sensitive about having their trucks photographed. I assumed this was all part of post-911 security cautiousness and just explained to him that I was an artist taking reference photos. That seemed to satisfy him. Lately I've again become fascinated by trucks and have taken pictures of a street sweeper, a cement mixer and a tow truck. I've got my eye out for more specimens all the time.
