Ivan Chan Studio said...: Thanks!

I wanted to have more new work, but I think "new" is relative, since these were largely shown at Children's Mental Health and were kinda away from the general public.

Still, I guess I'm saying I miss painting.

Ivan Chan Studio said...: Me, too.

I think that as I confront this loss, I realize it's not as terrible as I imagined.

And that opens me up to do different things, things that I might have hesitated doing because of the momentum and fear of losing what I had created.

I toy with the idea of returning to drawing and charcoal, the removal of color and the emphasis on tone.

Which reminds me, I just realized that my new vehicle is a similar color to my first one (grey/charcoal)!

There's something to be said for somber classics.

Or being truer to oneself.; 12:47 AM
