Take a break from 'rona , frustration over closed SCs, and lockdowns

NOT A B&W PHOTO -- charcoal drawings by DYLAN EAKIN - per the artist - lots and lots of patience required - 100 hours per portrait.

Really detailed and very demanding and tedious work. What Eakin describes isn't fun.

In his words: "Adapting myself into the regiments of photorealistic drawing requires an assimilation into automata. There’s not a single facet of the genre that doesn’t necessitate a direct confrontation towards a shopping list of personal weaknesses. Reforming my process of art production becomes a reconfiguration of human habits into mechanical ones, a method of self-improvement via photographic translation and a stick of charcoal. Delete subjectification. Delete inspiration. Draw the picture. Beep Boop" Dylan Eakin
