so... this is a little bit of a different type of location sketching, if ever there was one. for the last 15 odd years, whenever i stay somewhere, i try to leave my mark... on the bottoms of the drawers in the room i'm staying in. sometimes i have more time than others, which is why some of the designs are detailed and others look rushed. i do not harm the drawer in any way, and most times no one ever knows this artwork exists. but anyway, this is what i do!
some of the designs are from my imagination, but sometimes i am actually drawing something that i see in life. it could be something in my room, or something i see in the view out my window. back in the day i used to use more paint, but since 2001 carrying paint onto an airplane is not as easy as it once was. so these days i generally stick to crayons, colored pencils, and sharpies.
the ones i've posted here are all drawn from life. to see the entire collection of drawer drawings that i have online, you can visit my flickr album HERE.
These are fantastic- I might have to make a point of going on trips & staying in hotels just so I can do this too.
ReplyDeleteyou should! in all the years i've been doing this i've only ever once ran into a drawer that someone else got to first... and they did theirs in 1987.
ReplyDeletewhat a cool idea. I'm going to put this into practice next time I stay in a hotel
