The Mad Guitarist – by clinock. 18″x22″. Graphite, Conte and Charcoal, on paper.
The first drawing from my recent creative ‘fishing trip’. I was listening to John McLaughlin and his Mahavishnu Orchestra – they evoked the images you see.

I love this! It’s sort of broken and yet complete. Like chaos meets music, or even closer to my heart – poetry.

Thank you – yes, it was “trippy” to make but I can’t say that it’s a “keeper”. I often go back and change my art work…

I really like this very much. It reminds me of Picasso’s work 🙂 And of Kandinsky. But this is more solid. (I wish I could say it better.)

This piece really speaks to me…it feels to be one of my lectio paintings, where layer upon layer reveals itself. It feels there are several different stories along its journey…love it.

More than “several” stories indeed – I’m glad that you “love it”. Yes, it revealed itself in process and I am amazed at what emerged, as always…
