Enjoying available materials. Applying gesso with gusto is a ‘secret’ pleasure. The physicality inspires. Drawing with a paint marker, indeed a pen of any kind, is pure bliss. Peeling back the surface layer of the corrugated paper board reminded me of my year, as a sixteen year old, working in a (then) local paper board mill as an apprentice lab technician. Good memories!

Corrugated paper board, gesso, paint marker, acrylic.

Drawing shown at eight times normal speed. Fusing print and drawing. This reminded me of a pen plotter in action. Hence the title.
