I love defacing and editing things in the style of artists like the Chapman Brothers and Dieter Roth. Specially like the idea of semi-opaque materials like masking tape, you get a narrative between your mistakes and your corrections but when you work over a surface like I'm doing here the masking tape allows for an intrinsic reaction to the materials involved.
On the second image you can see a ghost of where I began drawing and then changed my mind. This isn't really obvious in real life, it's just the light of the scanner.
This was just an illustration I did playing around, think I'm going to enter it as an application into the Abridged Art and Poetry magazine. This imagery for a poem came into mind whilst doing the picture, the two sort of created each other - perhaps since I used a biro to draw this it was meant to become a poem? I guess I'm just justifying the act of producing an illustration; which even the mention of is all very unseemly in the fine art department of NCAD.
