Sketchbook Friday: Rip & Tear Owl

Rip & Tear: the experimental drawing exhibition is a show i curated in Portland, Maine with artists Kenny Cole, Abbeth Russell, Bridget McAlonan, Brian Reeves, Jack Slattery and (me)William Hessian. All the art prints on the walls can ripped down and collected by the viewers, and when the art is ripped a slightly altered version of the same drawing is left behind. The owl above is part of 5 variants that show up for the specific drawing. As the night progresses the drawings change, and people have arm loads of bizarre prints from some of the states most impressive illustrators.

Each Friday at noon I scan in one new sketch or drawing from one of my many sketchbooks. Many times my sketches are ideas for larger projects that you might find on my fine art website William Hessian dot com, or as projects right here on my Bearded Bunny art blog. If you enjoy these sketches make sure to also see my Favorite 20 sketches from 2011 or go back and check out all of the sketchbook friday posts.
