Old news but good news.

I received a BC Arts Council grant this year to continue my found drawing series. I've been buying drawings from Ebay with a $25 cap per drawing (not including shipping which can be extremely reasonable at times and absurdly overpriced other times depending on the whims of those doing the mailing.) The monetary cap is somewhat arbitrary but was made with the idea that the artwork has been deemed to have little monetary value therefore it removes the implication that I'm destroying something of value or using the value of the existing work to give my own work value. (I mean, I'm no Chapman brothers able to go out and buy a suite of Hitler's watercolours and alter them. Not that that wouldn't be super fun.) Nevertheless, some people can get up in arms about "art" whether they are artists themselves or not, and place another kind of value on it, a sort of universal law that thou shall not tamper. More on all that later. Here are some of the drawings I'll be working with...
