Methagulations Most Wise and Gangulous
December 10th, 2008Breaks allow time for quick doodles to leak from the pens of craters, art handlers and installers onto the cardboard pads that line the work tables. Some drawings are worked for days when a single break is not equal to the ambition, or when coworkers start riffing on them. For some reason, the crate shop has long been an unofficial revolving gallery for the aimless scribblings passing curatorial muster for anonymous patrons. What gets kept for the wall is a small fraction of what is produced. Most of the cartoons go straight to paper recycling, making them the ephemeral ink sneezes they were all meant to be. Though most are collaborations, about 90% of the keepers are at least 80% from the feavered mind and nimble fingers of Chris Keebles; able seaman. Other doodlers represented below: Daniel Wheeler, Chris Barber, Aaron WIlliams, Owen Rothstein, Robert Thomas, Ian Patrick, Danny Bain and Zak Taylor.
On a side note, here is a dog house our head crater Michael Dawson made for a coworker, recycling a used crate:
