All of my knitting is done with pens.

Something else that needs to be broken up.
Kimono
Sometimes I’m more surprised than anyone at what ends up flowing out of my pen. Where some of these images come from is a mystery only my tiny brain could explain.

Caravaggio Copy
This is a copy of a Caravaggio painting. I modernized it a bit.
Louvre
This is an exact copy I did of the painting, “The Virgin Carrying The Sleeping Child With Three Angles” by Luini in 1683. If you’re having trouble telling the original from the copy, the original has a gold frame around it. Luini’s resides in the Louvre. Mine is on page 36 of the sketchbook on my desk.
Copyist
Copyists are artists who set up easels in a museum to make an exact replica of an old master painting using the actual painting as reference. Experts at the Louvre wondered if using my pens and a sketchbook, could I replicate a master painting from their permanent collection? Because of Covid19 I couldn’t paint from the original and had to use a photo from an art book instead. They were stunned by my replica of “The Marriage At Cana,” by painter David Gerard in 1683. Some Louvre historians had trouble distinguishing between the original and mine done with Muji colored pens. So they’ve asked me to do a few more.
Pandemic Streets Of Brooklyn
I did this drawing sitting in my car in Red Hook, Brooklyn. There were two beat up old Airstream trailers parked on different side streets. I figure people must be making contaminated family members quarantine out there for a few weeks. I hope my wife doesn’t read this, she may make me sleep on the street in Red Hook. I’ll just have to pretend I’m camping.
