Kai Vierstra at Norte Maar.
lightning drawings!
He makes them on a bed of nails... pressing the paper flat to the board so that all the nails have punctured through... tilts the board, dips a little ball in ink which gets inserted at top and plink-plinks down through the gridded nails leaving a zig-zag ink trail. After the paper gets pulled off the board/nails it is usually coated with a honey-scented beeswax. This might happen a few times with different layers of color, ink, wax... I'm not sure.
My last post on Kai (5/09) has a pic of some of the first lightning drawings. The new ones here and in his studio have a lot more color.
the new ones are gorgeous
Kai Vierstra. I won't even tell you how cheap these things are but it's ridiculous.
The main show is Paul D'Agostino... very good also... I will post photos later. Both shows close 3/4.
