After working on developing the skill for making and
coloring sketches, I only recently have felt comfortable sharing them with
others in my personal life and now I am sharing them with my readers. In
congruence with my idea of “creativity overflow,” which I describe in my
article “The Overflow of Creativity: Why Artists Need to Find New Areas to Conquer, New Worlds to Explore,” I’ve found it necessary to find new artistic
outlets for my creative impulses. Partly encouraged by a dear associate and by
my own curiosity, I’ve achieved a level of skill that I’m happy with and suit
my purposes as an artist. And now I’d like to share some of my thoughts with
you about my experiences as a sketch artist and how it relates to my work as a
musician.
As a sketch artist, my purpose is to achieve a communication
or a conveyance that shapes an impression. I’m not going for perfection, but
rather I’m allowing the viewer to contribute some their own artistic vision to
my images in order to fill them out to completion. Both, my sketches and music
are illustrations intended to form moments – instances of miraculous agreement
or enjoyment (or disapproval) – between myself as the artist and the viewer or
listener as a fellow participant. I consider it my job to give them (their
minds) just enough of the visual pieces to work with in order to convey an
image that they can receive and add something to in order to form a final
picture within their mind. I consider it my job to seek a contribution, in
other words, I want a certain level of involvement from the viewer. I need the
attention of the viewer to get engaged in the shaping of the image and the only
way I feel to do that is to in some way leave something out, or to permit a
missing piece to exist in which they can put something in.
