Artist Statement

These are drawn on location using an iPhone application called Brushes. No photo references, no tablets, no brushes to wash: just my finger on the tiny touch screen. Don't even need a proper light: the drawing itself glows in a dark corner.

Queens and Greene and Spring are two of 100 drawings featured in a forthcoming book. They came together as a pair as I was sequencing images for the project. Here, they are a preview of the final project.
