Obsessive Drawing   There's an exhibit at the The American Folk art Museum that I am really interested in seeing called Obsessive Drawing. It seems to be all artists who complete massively detailed drawings to the point of obsession. The description mentions the "fear of an unfilled page", which drives some artists to madness. Designers too I imagine, who have to make blank space mean something. Kind of correlates to a Scientific American article I read once about there being fractal-based chaos generated in Pollock's splatter paintings. Researchers performed spectral analysis on remnants of his destroyed works and found patterns emerging. Whenever there was a hints of avoidance of chaos in a work, he would destroy it. As his career progressed his paintings were more and more detailed in their chaos. And I finally discovered Monkmus , animator of my favourite Kid Koala videos and the Badly Drawn Boy video "Year of the Rat". This space intentionally left
blank.
