Invented Mythologies

I drew Invented Mythologies in 2013. I had taken a break from New York city and lived in Florida for a year. Here is what I wrote about the drawing in 2015:

My prediction ( for 2016 ) is that Vader will frequently sneak into my work, the biggest question for me is, aesthetically and philosophically, how to better obscure him.

As a commercial artist I was involved in the creation of the Star Wars myth and it flows into my own work.

Invented Mythologies, pen and ink on paper, 5×7 in and was a part of my Bushwick Show. Here’s an excerpt from my Bushwick Show post exhibition reflection:

It was great to see you at my Bushwick Show – Invented Mythologies !  And Thank you for braving the heat in Bushwick, some of you coming from upstate or Manhattan, which is just as far:) I got a fresh point of view and heard your comments about the work and your honest opinions. I was amazed at the insights some of you had about what you thought was a successful piece and what you thought was the best part of a successful piece. And what you thought didn’t work. Artists sometimes like to say they do the work for themselves. The truth is we are part of a soup, physiologically and cognitively, we constantly shed cells and replenish with new ones, we are constantly engaged in the world mentally.. so unless we a are a Robinson Crusoe – we are an amalgamation, and so is our work.. to some degree.
