SketchCrazed – surreal, lurid, unzipped

SketchCrazed is an opportunity for me to share the very strange drawings I do. The common thread is in the attempt to explore new relationships of form, contrast, and pattern, and to see where they take me.

Swamp King

Some years ago I got a 1999 American–made Fender Stratocaster. It has a sunburst body and blond fretboard. A classic look. And I got a Fender Deluxe amplifier.

This drawing features that guitar, in the hold of an imaginary beast from the swamp – suggesting the exotic roots of music I suppose. I like giving animal accents to human forms, and this is a pretty good example of that. Alligator head, gazelle horns, frog legs with butterfly wings, a crab’s claw hand, and a serpent tail. Imagine the blues this creature could play!
