With a nod to Anders, who posted some of his drawings for this show some time ago, I thought I'd post a few of the drawings I'll be presenting at our group show (Anders, Jeffrey Brown, and myself) at Galerie Anne Barrault this June in Paris.
Most of these are on the larger side (around 20x30") and serving as conceptual drawings for a planned book on Ulysses S. Grant. The book is years down the road, but when I was worrying over what to do for the show (the general theme of which is "Midwest"), I could think of few people more thoroughly Midwestern than good ol' Ulysses.

The last one is extremely good. It captures that specific brand of resignation and weariness peculiar to Grant--which is much different from that of Lincoln.
Thanks, Levi.
Ha... appropriate choice of Midwesterner...
Georgetown, Ohio. Represent.
hmmm...representing the hometown hero? these are very good, but i can't help but imagine grant's constant interior dialogue, "BUMMMMERRRRR..."
see, now you're tempting me to have that be all he ever says, for a couple hundred pages... which I would find hilarious, though a publisher might find it less so.
Eh, screw it. BUMMMMERRRR it is.
I'll make sure you get a co-writing credit.
