I'm asking my students to make drawings based on maps, and in the process of researching images to show them online I came across some amazing stuff. Like this blog post about old caricature maps, which has these wonderful images, among many...
The title of this blog originated a couple summers ago. When anyone asked me what I'd been up to in my studio all day I could honestly answer "Drawing monkey fur." Lately it's more likely to be something like "Making an E."
I'm likely to write about things that are fueling my latest work, art I like, and anything else I think is interesting. You can check out my art at samanthasimpson.com.
