The Art of Alex Thompson

Hello there people. It's been a bit of a long week, I've got to say. A lot of stuff going on. And I decided I'd make a post. Why, you might be asking (and it's ok if you aren't)? Well, because art is just one of those things you've gotta do.

I recently obtained a sizeable sheaf of rice paper from my high school grade 12 art teacher. She basically just handed it to me and told me there wasn't space for it. She also informed me that it was absorbent. So, this here is one of my first little tests with the new paper. It's just ink on rice paper. When I draw with ink, i prefer using a brush rather than a pen; it has a different quality that I really enjoy.


These are a couple more ink drawings, done for Site and Intervention. Our class did a little installation running along the bottom of the wall in the OCAD Main Hall. Everyone did human figures in motion from memory. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of the whole installation!
