Two Lazy - 28" x 20".

As much as I like heavy black outlines, I also like hairlines, especially reversals. They look so elegant. Two Lazy - 28" x 20" ink on paper. The brutal simplicity is a challenge. I do the rough about twenty times trying to find the most efficient route from start to finish using only one line. Of course it's not possible but it's pretty clean and maintains the illusion. And when it's just one thin line it has to be right. Good thing the slight shakiness adds warmth (humanity) to a cold sterile technique. In this case I would do the reversal of the image in the production of prints. The original line drawing was done in positive (below).
