Jamie Hewlett: “Drawing Is An Escape From All The Unecessary Things In Life That Get In The Way Of Being Free”
A fitting complement to the Michael Graves commentary—here is Jamie Hewlett (Tank Girl, Gorillaz) on the joy of drawing:
“It’s about reaching that moment of pure ecstasy when a drawing just happens. Where every move you make with your hand and every thought you have in your head grows in front of you without any mistakes; no rubbing out, starting again and getting frustrated. It’s like being in a trance – it’s a fluid – and you almost don’t remember doing the picture. Drawing is an escape from all the unnecessary things in life that get in the way of being free.”
