I have just about given up trying to get good reproductions of these drawings, so I thought I would post a more casual, in progress shot that doesn’t purport to be anything other. The whole drawing is 19 x 24″ and is ink on white paper. I am doing a series from the incident in Central Park where I observed a dying Tufted Titmouse (photo blog post here).

This looks a bit like how I look after a solid week’s worth of this year’s art fairs, socializing out on the town, and gallery-hopping. All of it was entertaining. Not a lot of it was particularly memorable, and there was definitely the sense that galleries were playing it safe by offering more concrete, tangible works. There were few over-the-top installations and I noticed that photography and video also seemed scarce. Most media were outnumbered by drawings, and animal/bird/taxidermy-derivative work was everywhere, which makes me nervous. But everything makes me nervous so that’s OK.
