autodeconstruction

This was drawn on 17x14 paper. I would have liked to have a smaller image, but the wispy lines and little details would've vanished at smaller sizes.

Also, my hair is currently purple, not red, but you have to do these sorts of things for the image sometimes.

I really feel Hirsch in this, though it's really not like his work that much at all. Lovely, flowing lines, simple color scheme, and you know I'm looking all over for your "Nina!" Quite lovely.

I was going to say it is, but then I pulled out Hirschfeld On Line and realized it's not - this is me doing my mental caricature of Hirsch, of what draws me to his work. Almost every single drawing in this career retrospective book contrasts blocks of pattern against line, while I'm focused almost entirely on line.

Limb-as-two-crossing-calligraphic-lines is definitely something I swiped from him, though.
