Amphora and Football – Church Drawing #5
This is the fifth in a week long series of drawings I did while in church.
I don’t remember the sermon that day but I can guarantee it had something to do with
football, probably was around the Superbowl.
Singing Flaming Baby Jesus – Church Drawing #4
Fourth in a week long series of drawings I have done while in church.
I have no idea where the heck the sermon was going when I drew this one, but it was
drawn in December so it was likely a christmas story that was being dealt with.
The Two-Thumbed God – Church Drawing #3
Day three of a week long exhibition of drawings I have done while in Church.

Church Drawing #1
This week I am showing a series of drawings I have done in Church. I have been drawing in church for at least 25 years or so. I find it is a great way to internalize the message, or the environment, feel, moment, spirit, that is hitting me at the time.

London
This wasn’t really taken in London, it just feels like a victorian London scene, ala
Jack the Ripper, so I titled it that.
The shadow is actually me shining a small flashlight on her face during a long
exposure. I didn’t realize the shadow would be there but when I looked at it later it
certainly had a very cool effect, adding to the content of the image.
Composition with Heat
3rd in a series on ‘night’. It was a very hot and humid night and I loved that she had
that sheen or glow of heat on her. I also loved the blue/red compositional element of
the door and wall behind her.
What Was Inside
2nd in the week long series on night images. The idea was to capture both the cute,
sweet smile all the other photographers were trying to get from her and then have her
turn her expression into a scream, similar to the graffitied image. I wanted to try to
capture the feeling of the surface pretty and the interior pain someone might feel at
the same time.
How She Came To Become Who She Wanted To Be
I am going to do another week long series, this one of night images I have done over
the course of the last 2 months in Tulsa. This first one was serendipitous, the
graffitied woman’s face and the box were already on the brick wall. I saw the idea
pretty quickly, that the woman in the box would be dreaming to get outside it and the
floating image of the graffitied woman’s singing/orgasming/yearning face would be her
dream face.
The model Z was great, understanding what I wanted and game to make it happen.
Impressionist Composition #6
This is part of a week long posting showing a series I did way back in the 80’s where
I combined photographs of body impressions on top of Impressionist paintings.
This is one of Vince and I. My part of it was taken after wearing a bathing suit
under my pants for an entire day in anticipation of going swimming, which never
happened. When I got back to the hotel with my wife and took off my clothes I had
this incredible impression on my stomach from the elastic and asked her to take a
photo of it since it was so funny looking.
This was the first photo I took about impressions actually, though it wasn’t until I
took a sandal strap impression a few years later that I figured out the connection to
the impressionist paintings.
