Cheat Sheet #18

I am working on a new series of bright open ink drawings. I call them Cheat Sheets for life. Sometimes in school, my teachers let students make small cheat sheets to bring with when taking tests. You could write anything you wanted on the cheat sheet. Anything! Usually, I never wound up using my cheat sheet for the tests. The act of writing the stuff down had seared it into my memory. But I made the cheat sheets anyway. And they always looked really cool! With lots of teeny tiny writing in all directions and wee little charts and graphs and formulas. I figure we could all use a nice cheat sheet now and then.

These unique pieces are all one-of-a-kind original works of art. They are created with fancy artist's markers filled with India ink on nice heavy white paper. These are light-safe materials, but I still would recommend displaying these drawings somewhere away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

I created all of these pieces freehand in ink without pencil sketching first. And I do not use rulers or tools. The lettering is equally loose, not tight and precise like my painted words. These are meant to be gestural energetic pieces with expected imperfections.

Here is s small sample of other pieces from this series...

You will want to frame your new artwork to protect your investment. One affordable way to frame this unique drawing would be to purchase a standard-sized frame at your local home store and then bring the frame and the artwork together to a custom-framer. Ask the framer to mat the art to fit the frame. These pieces would look lovely with a neutral mat and a low-profile frame.

Cheat Sheets are always original works of art. I do not offer prints of this series.

SPECIAL NOTE: This site is gigantic. And it evolved over the course of ten years and 2,000 paintings. So far as I know, this is the largest single-artist portfolio website on the internet. Very exciting, but I am a technological boob and I maintain this site all by myself. That means there are glitches here and there. Some pages are outdated. Some formatting looks out of whack on different browsers. You get the idea. I apologize if you run into problems. PLEASE email me and tell me about 'em so I can fix them. Thank you! Love to you, Melissa
