    Live Portrait Demo in Chester Arts Fair 2018

    This is an 'action shot' from a live portrait demo I was invited to give at the Chester Arts Fair recently. It was somewhat daunting drawing in front of a roomful of people, but good fun!

    Logo/Moniker

    Logo/Moniker

    As a bit of background to the origin of my logo/monicker, it was inspired by a Seth Godin post about the fermata music symbol (link below). This symbol instructs musicians to sustain a note or a pause for a period of their own choosing. Seth’s post extends this to creatives/artists in general, stating: If you’ve got something to say, say it. Slowly. With effect. The audience isn’t going anywhere. At least not the people you care about. This advice reminded me indirectly of a comment by David Hockney, in which he described the difference between paintings and TV/cinema as being that the viewer ‘brings their own time’ to a painting, whereas TV and cinema impose their own time on the viewer. The logo also reminded me of an eye, which ties in with my original ‘Look. Draw.’ mission statement, It also looks vaguely like my initials (AD) if you squint a bit (ok, a lot…) http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2012/11/the-fermata.html
