"Though I give this land to Our Lady,
That helped me in Athelney,
Though lordlier trees and lustier sod
And happier hills hath no flesh trod
Than the garden of the Mother of God
Between Thames side and the sea,

"I know that weeds shall grow in it
Faster than men can burn;
And though they scatter now and go,
In some far century, sad and slow,
I have a vision, and I know
The heathen shall return. (from Chesterton, ballad of the white horse.)

Here's a picture i gave my sister for christmas
Adonis and the Bubblegum trees.

Project 20x20

2008-08-11T13:43:00.003+02:00

I am participating in an exhibition at Gallery Art Expo in November, where a lot of artists will each contribute up to ten works of size 20x20 cm.
Now, i don't have the paintings yet, and 20x20 is significantly smaller than i'm used to working in, so i'm gonna draw a lot of candidate drawings for the exhibition and put them up here.
Perhaps you, dear readers, can help me decide which to send in.
Now, to get started:

The Age of Maize
pastels and ink on paper, 20x20 cm

Here's a strange red pastel painting for y'all. I've been experimenting with making my backgrounds more interesting, and getting better at it :) Also, having A2 paper again helps.

I am not my background

Three Sketches

2008-06-29T21:14:00.000+02:00

Here's three sketches i did, to show you some of the other ways i work. The way the lines look in the first is a result of using the side edge of the crayon in quick movements, a technique i've become fond of.

Something Strange

2008-06-27T20:53:00.000+02:00

I'm not sure what to think of this drawing. I keep wobbling back on forth on whether to like it. Anyway, here you go.
These women are scary
A2, pastels, charcoal.

Edit: I do like it!

Version 2

2008-06-27T11:59:00.001+02:00

Something old to tide you over:The Smiling King
A2, pastels, paper.

Probably non-existing woman

2008-06-24T22:09:00.000+02:00

As you may be aware, i almost always draw freehand without any model or sketching. Thus, any resemblance to persons living or dead is either coincidental or the fault of my unconscious. A3, pastels on paper.

Note: I am considering whether i should switch back to danish. Danish has the advantage that A) i'm better at it, and B) as far as i've considered such a thing as "core audience" for this blog, they are probably danish speakers. On the other hand, writing english would give me practice, which i discovered yesterday that i need.

And a big hello to my foreign readers

2008-06-23T19:06:00.000+02:00

My sister just told me i have some foreign readers, so i thought i would try to accommodate them by writing something they can understand. This is (yet another) drawing of a character i keep returning to, a sort of demonic fool. You may notice the resemblance to the fiery red and yellow version i posted here.

size A3, dry pastels on paper.

Solen skinner udenfor

2008-06-22T15:08:00.000+02:00

Jeg har lige fundet ud af at den her tegning hedder "Solen skinner udenfor". Det gør den godt nok ikke lige nu, der er ganske overskyet.
(A3, pastelkridt)

Endnu et ansigt

2008-06-21T12:11:00.000+02:00

Vi har snydt lidt, og forberedt et eksemplar på forhånd. Se her, og skal vi så ikke bare gå igang med at spise

(lidt større end a2. pastelkridt, kul)

God Fredag

Soldaten. Han har langt hjem. Det ligner en ørken, så måske er han i Irak. Eller Afghanistan.
Soldaten. Han har langt hjem

Grøn kvinde

2008-06-19T12:34:00.000+02:00

Altså, jeg tror det er en kvinde. Det lykkes mig ikke altid at fange de subtile kønsspecifikke træk i et ansigt, og så ender jeg med noget androgynt. Jeg kan nu godt lide den alligevel.
(A3, pastelkridt)

Tegneblog fortsætter ufortrødent!

2008-06-18T14:40:00.000+02:00

(18/6/2008). Websiden "Villums tegneblog fortsætter ufortrødent på trods af tekniske problemer. Kritikere udtaler dog, at hans nyeste indlæg er af lavere kvalitet, end han viste i sidste uge, og mener at brugen af obskure rollespilsreferencer kan skade hans mulighed for at nå et større publikum.

(pastelkridt, a3)

I pausen sender vi...

2008-06-18T02:32:00.000+02:00

Undskyld afbrydelsen. Normal service vil blive genoptaget så snart jeg finder ledningen til mit kamera. Her er et par gamle billeder til ventetiden.

først, en kvinde. Hun gemmer sig. Eller måske spionerer hun!

Derefter Sælgeren. Han har alt det du ikke vidste du havde brug for.

Begge er på papir lidt større end A2.

En blå dame

2008-06-13T18:05:00.001+02:00

Dette er en lidt ældre tegning. Originalen er noget i retning af 1x1.5 meter stor, og har desværre taget en lidt skade, da den er besværlig at opbevare uden at rulle den sammen.

Armene over labyrint

2008-06-12T16:51:00.000+02:00

Nogle gange er det bare ikke nok at ligge dem over kors.

Pseudointellektuel

2008-06-09T18:51:00.001+02:00

Pseudointellektuelt misbrug af Wittgenstein, eller et forsøg på irrelevant kommentar. Titlen er den første linje fra Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, Wittgensteins ungdomsværk.

edit: Titlen, hvis i ikke kan læse den, er "Verden er alt hvad der er tilfældet"

Papir, pastelkridt, kul. A3.

Igang igen

2008-06-08T17:00:00.000+02:00

Så virker mit kamera igen, og jeg har fået taget mig sammen. Jeg har en del fotos liggende, men i får dem ikke alle idag. Der skal jo være noget at glæde sig til.
Her først en mand der muligvis er trist. (Lad os kalde den: Mand der muligvis er trist)

(papir, kul, A3)

Og derefter et mystisk pyromanisk væsen. Den er glad!

historisk

2008-03-04T00:41:00.000+01:00

Jeg har lavet 117 versioner af pigen på det her billede. Her er den allerførste. Tegningen har det ikke så godt længere - Opbevaring er ikke en af mine stærke sider, og den er tegnet med trækul, som er ret sårbart.

En storformat

2008-03-03T16:10:00.000+01:00

ikke at man kan se det på billedet, men den er 100x70 cm. Er fra starten af februar.

Hr. Sørensen var meget skuffet
