Good morning drawing fans! Today is the last day of the Thrilla in Manila Draw-a-thon between Jane Mount and Jason Polan. It's been an exciting and inspiring few days, although, as Jane pointed out last night, "Drawing is hard work!" Yes it is, but these two artists have staying power. They will fight till the end!Jen and Jeffrey are on their way back from sunny Miami today, so I will leave you with a few more trivia notes before I sadly hand over my drawing reportage to the artists themselves. From now on, it will be no holds barred!
Yesterday, I asked Jane and Jason to name their favorite artists. Jane is fan of Chris Johanson (they both love to draw planets), Marlene Dumas, and folk artist Howard Finster. Jason mentioned Derek Erdman, Katie McDonough, Michael Worful, and Bill Thelen. Learning who our artists look to for inspiration brought me to another battling artwork: the very famous Erased de Kooning where Robert Rauschenberg erased a Willem de Kooning drawing. You can hear him talk about it here.
Well, this is it dear fans, let the final round begin! Best of luck to our talented artists and may the best drawer win!
