The evolution of a drawing (drawing: Patched)
Yesterdays mistake
Half way through my second attempt of the drawing of the color fountain I realized what I did wrong the first time. I mixed to many colors.Color fountain 2th sketch
The idea was to make a lot of patches of colors. Then I would use my eraser as a kind of pencil and remove part of the [...] -
Autism
The movies in my mind (drawing: Color fountain 1st sketch)
Thinking in pictures
One of the strange things of discovering that you have autism is that you get to meet a lot of experts who tell you that you have all kind of problems you never knew you had. Among other I’ve been told that I’ve problems concentrating. When I’m doing something it could very [...] -

What is RSS (drawing: Erase a flower)
Running into a strange symbol
If you’ve been roaming the Internet a lot you may have noticed this symbol:RSS feed symbol
You find it at the end of the address bar of a lot of sites. Sometimes you find it in the upper right or upper left corner of a website. Usually it’s accompanied by a little [...] -

Scanner problems (drawing: Sample sheets)
When I did the drawing and painting course earlier this year the teacher had the painters make several color charts to find out what kind of a range of shade of colors they could mix.

Why do people stop blogging? (drawing: Swimming trunk boy portrait blending colors 1th sketch)
Did you know that every day about 170,000 people start a blog and about 120,000 blogs die?

“Drawing” the sport (drawing: Star field 2th sketch)
I’ve read somewhere that if you would see a tennis player in the buff you would see that the muscles in his right shoulder are much better developed then the muscles in his left shoulder (assuming he’s right handed). I don’t know about tennis player but it might be true for people who draw.

An other dead end (drawing: Star field 1th sketch)
I don’t know if you saw it but there is a little mistake in Nova. In the left lower corner. While I was drawing it the piece of toilet paper slipped and the surgical glove I wear to prevent dirty fingers from spoiling my drawing pulled a little bit of pigment on to the sheet.
At ones I thought “ah, [...] -

Promen is running out of work (drawing: Truck 1th sketch)
I’m again on sick leave. Again.
I was working at Promen’s branch in Cappelle aan de Ijsel but they run out of work a few weeks ago. Thinking that was temporary I took some holidays but I’ve none left and still there is no work.
Since they run out of options they pressured me to except placement [...] -

To tortillon or not to tortillon (drawing: Nova)
06.15.07 | Permalink | 3 CommentsA tortillon is a piece of compressed paper you can buy in the shop or can make yourselves. It’s used to pull the pigment over your sheet of paper.
I’ve used it ones to find out what I could do with it. But I was a little disappointed. I thought that it should be possible [...] -

Search engine optimization (drawing: Corona)
A few weeks ago I worked a while on a drawing I wanted to call “Nova”. But I couldn’t figure out how I should translate the shape in my mind to a color drawing.
This morning while I was working on my SEO I recognized that it should be possible to use the technique [...]
