The
nature, in fact the core essence, of art is creativity. Creativity
is in the colors, textures, subject and size. It is the latter that
has always particularly appealed to me. Art typically does not come
in standard sizes or proportions. My drawings are no exception and
most of it has gone unframed, merely tacked to the wall or archived in
a portfolio, due to incompatibility of off-the-shelf frames and the exorbitant
price of custom framing.
However, in digitizing my
images I stumbled across new challenges. Not only are most of my
drawings of unusual shape, but most are larger than a standard 9"x12" scanner
bed. Frequently much is lost in the translation - like the rear portion
of the bike. However, in this case I think it actually helps.
