Real-time X 9, MSPaintbrush drawing demo video. The screenshot below, of the 900 x 676 vid, is scrunched here to fit a 650 pixel window. The mp4 at the above link is the highest "save-as" quality (there's still a bit of compression/softening but it's pretty sharp).

Actual size detail:

A YouTube version of this was put up by Guthrie in Jan 2007 (thx again) - through no fault of his, the image quality at 640 x 480 is pretty mushy. This may be a blessing to some. After almost 8 years this is now up to 4640 views, 12 upvotes, 2 downvotes, and 4 puzzled comments.

The drawing was based on a painting from 1989, 64 x 54 inches, acrylic and oil on canvas. The atom went missing in the '00s version.

still drawing monsters (a career-killer for any serious artist but you can't make me stop). I think the OptiDisc gif was rooted in these little circles that litter every piece of paper I come in contact with.

Update: A color version:

for some reason I think I like the photo of the printed-out web app drawing more than the web app drawing itself

I did this series of "roots" drawings, trying to work as traditionally as possible, in or near the kitsch zone. A younger snottier artist visited my studio and blanched. What's wrong with them? I asked. "Everything," he said, but the most I could get out of him was that if you were going to do anything that looked like charcoal you needed "Donald Sultan-like tasty smears."

am not post-studio -- although studio visits are admittedly quaint
also, pop art is not dead
