I’ve been playing with these small scale maquettes / scale tests and studies for installation pieces (that my wife and I are collaborating on), and I’m really beginning to like the act of creating these things at the small scale and photographing them from inside. Initially they were not intended to be finished pieces (but rather a means to an end), nor were the photographs intended to be the end product, but there is something very satisfying about this process and the images that are emerging. I had always intended to take the pictures into photoshop and use them to mock up what the finished installation would look like in the proposed space, but I think I’ve accidentally discovered a new branch to explore— interesting new territory as much of my new work is dealing with light as an important element, I have been having to figure out how to reproduce lighting effects on a much smaller scale.Image: Kevin Townsend, mottled sensation (study III)

recent sketchbook scans to test out the new scanner (I’m kind of digging the wireless scanning, airprint (iphone/ipad) and email print features of this new printer/scanner beast- it lets my computer stay monolithically perched on my desk, seemingly untethered from the wall and all peripherals.  now I just need to find it a home in my home…)

So… the other day I gave my life drawing/portfolio development classes the assignment to use 0ne 22”x28” piece of paper and 1 black ballpoint pen (they must use ALL of the ink in the pen and bring it back empty) to produce a self portrait, from direct observation that includes a body part touching a reflective surface. I’m looking forward to seeing their drawings — final crits are monday… This was my 20 minute, in-class-demo (observed in a beveled mirror) to discuss facial proportions in perspective, mark making and ballpoint pen drawing tips. interestingly it is also the 1st time I’ve done anything resembling a traditional self portrait in at least 5-8 years
