Doug Brin Illustration Framed on Canvas: 'Profile of a Lady'1990
1990
About the Item
The murder of John Lennon. The birth of my children. Nixon’s resignation. Brain surgery.
Driven by the desire to express myself, and leave a physical record of my life and times, I’ve painstaking recorded each of these events, plus thousands more - personal and not - in my visual journals.
I’ve been creating these journals - one for each year - since 1969. They create a comprehensive physical record.
These volumes present thousands of design spreads featuring illustrations and collages, plus countless thoughts, observations, opinions, and powerful quotes from literary and journalistic sources. They intertwine my personal world with notable world events and issues, people and places - in politics, literature, business, science, entertainment - and more.
As an artist and writer, I feel the unique format of the journals reflects my dual identity.
Every page, every spread is a work of art. Anyone who has seen the journals over the last half century has been intrigued, delighted and enthusiastic about them. The readable snippets of copy are artistic elements. Whether they recall the nuclear explosion at Chernobyl, the death of Princess Di, or conversing with Bill Clinton at the Central Park Zoo, they provide another dimension to the work.
I have long wanted to share these journals with the outside world. Now, advances in printing are allowing me to convert single pages and spreads into distinctive pieces of art on canvas for homes, offices, anywhere. They are dramatic, whimsical, fantastical, thought-provoking, or simply happy. They look sensational in groups of three, five, or more. Or alone. –-Doug Brin

- Watchmaker, Drawing, Inventor, Work on Paper, Ink, Watercolor, Tan, YellowBy Krzysztof PastuszkaLocated in Riverdale, NYWatchmaker is an original Ink and Watercolor Pencil drawing on paper. It is 16x24, unframed. Krzysztof Pastuszka is an interdisciplinary artist who spans sculpture, drawing, engineering, and computer design. Much of his work focuses on the complexity and tension in transition/transitioning, giving voice to his experience growing up as a trans kid in the late 90s -2000s. His process consists of idea generation and the testing and creation of prototypes to generate a multitude of parts. He focuses on mechanical movement and the interplay between parts to visualize the intricacies of change and focus on the necessity of each component's ability to cooperate with another and create movement. He uses motion as a way to expose all the micro-operations and mental acrobatics involved in navigating and rejecting the unchanging nature of cisnormativity. He combines his array of skills to envision and compose an elaborate trail of blueprints archiving the hidden and unseen essence of his trans experience--building documentation that didn't exist in his childhood. His current body of work consists of multiple assemblies within one mechanical sculpture...Category
