Figures Fillière 1(b)

This is page 35 from Figures Fillière 1, available at amazon.com / books / Scott Fillier

It is one of a number of faces shown in the book and drawn in many different media, to demonstrate in this instance, that a mechanical drafting pen can be used to produce a landmark and powerfully expressive image one doesn’t usually associate with the output of that pen. All the more reason to investigate its off-beat potential.

The left-hand page of this two-page spread is of US President Jimmy Carter as the perfect opposite in personality type, and, in drawing tool effect.

Mirror Mirror Figure

One consults this quicksilver analyst this parroting psychiatrist this counsellor whose Da Vincian observations, conclusions, notations are inverted on its walls.

One sees the impossible: flesh | mind | spirit & only will at hand to construct a harmony.

One reads a Rorschach world of ravages with each new day’s inscription engraved upon this wailing wall.

One sees the analyst reflect a target in his lidless omniscient stare.

Collage 6-Pack

If you count the edges of the chopped segments of abstract markings you can find a dozen pieces out of which this image was assembled and pasted down. I think of it as an innovation on a kind of centaur. Great fun to do such a wild compositional search-and-find assemblage.

DoggieProtocol

Blue Chip Humour like blue-chip anything loves/thrives on brevity and clarity. And if you love / own dogs the following drawing is so droll and true to their least hello.

“Hi, I’m Scott and you are …?

Blue Chip Humour ll.

Below is Mark Twain’s “Celebrated Jumping Frog”. (You can look it up in Wikipedia if you’re unfamiliar with the hilarious tale).

I fancy Mark Twain would have been pretty delighted with this visual interpretation of the tampered-with critter as a connect-the-dots, connect-with-the-lead-shots response, that put an end to its owner’s outrageous brags and bets on its jumping capacities.
