Posting this not entirely finished drawing here nevertheless, just to let everyone know that I'll be showing all drawings that I'm currently working on in the "still in the making"-"highlight"-button.

This is to say that everyone who ordered a drawing gets to experience parts of the creative process, too. 

(If you want me to draw for you, too, don't hesitate to reach out anytime -> [email protected] Looking forward to creating for you)

I've always refused to sell my drawings so far, but.. deviating from the course right now to finally do something I've wanted to do for a long time: I'll be collecting everything I get and donate it all until further notice to organizations who don't let their (inter-)dependences take their word or rather: their cries/calls for help, for justice.

(I was thinking of organizations like Medico International, for instance, but feel free to suggest additional organizations to donate anytime)

Thank you.🪻

(It’s my first (mainly) #charcoal #drawing. I am still struggling with navigating the soft texture of the charcoal powder.. or so to say maybe struggling with navigating softness)
.
.
(My political conclusion would be: softness is, tender people are harder to handle, are more resistant to hardened times or politics. And therefore - euphemistically put - not liked that much by authoritarian, fascist regimes. So maybe we should send them all to some extra powdery drawing classes to learn and everything will be fine again) (🫠)

(This comes as a slight disruption of my current workflow, which is also why I might delete it again later. I actually wanted to post another hand drawing to complete my little hand series here. Instead, you can find a much needed calibration exercise (from last week already) in this rather simple looking drawing of water drops) 
.
(I probably won't be able to do it like this again, I guess, it was quite a challenging thing to depict for me.. although it might not look like it to you.
The two drops at the top left inspired the other drawing in the second slide.. which is more of a draft than a drawing.. it shows, yes.. so.. still working on it)

(For all those interested in paper: I made the first one on acrylic paper with a stark, rich (almost wooden-like) texture, the second one on multimedia mixed paper)
.
.
(I'd like to add that there is a lot of solace in the most tiny strokes. The tinier the more focused the more solace. It's like turning down noise for a bit and enabling the tender, delicate details in drawing to fully unfold into stretching time axes and condensing them so that the meaning of coarse becomes more legible as something coarse enmeshed in current world politics) 
.
(So.. it's also the rise of disproportionality that we are currently witnessing, I think. The disproportionate resides within fascist perceptions, it's all in their speeches and voices and actions.. and it seems as if ppl like Trompe want us to wear them, want us to put their steamroller-ish world views on like his overpriced suits.. as if they were ours)
.
(Bla bla, I know, what do we really know.
I know what I mean and that's the most important thing of course!)
.
(Nah.. sorry for the deviation.. but I really think that they are also blabla-ing us into ourselves with their "muzzle velocities". They are exhausting us and exhaustion makes it more difficult to stick to a nuanced view also in our everyday lives. So maybe nuances are proportional

(What sticking together in fascist times might also look like)
.
.
(Their rigid hardening makes the texture of our determination only, an information about how to create even stronger bonds)

(Sometimes fragmentation is articulated through mimic incongruities only or what we perceive as inconsistent)
.
(Neither a broken tear nor an eye or any other body part that had visibly been levered out needs to be depicted somewhere on the face as I originally intended to, just to refer to the matter of fragmentation once again)

(Can you read the emotion conveyed?)
.
.
(Perhaps the mouth is the West. Perhaps the mouth is the eye of the West. Perhaps it is just the mouth that matters to the West, its upward curvature, still free enough to bend and assume that ppl in other countries are free as well on the inside of the concept of a nation)

(This drawing is from last week already, I tried to tie in with the previous one, the woman, in a series on fragmentation. The pain in this very picture is as recognizable as a plausible whole since one part, her arm, is visibly missing)
.
.
(So basically it's all about how the fragmentation of our times tries to trick us into believing that there is no such thing as a larger, ip chronologically more complex entity, which is continuity, consistency. Or at least that it is not something that can be grasped at, supplemented, anticipated, intuited, not something that is fathomable to some extent. Like a whole agenda for the worse as we are currently witnessing it, but also one for the better)
