" 'Instead, with the slow methodical patience of the drunk and terrified, Martin Turner dialed 999 and asked for the police.' " Graphite, pencil, and acrylic on gessoed birch board. 30.5x30.5cm. 2020-01-18. . Scaling up and trying using only brushes. Not super confident with either. The title quote is from Ben Aaronovitch's novel "Midnight Riot". Highly recommended, especially if you're a fan of Butcher's Dresden Files series. . . . . . . . . #abstractart #abstract_art #abstractdrawing  #abstract_drawing #drawing #art #arte #artistoninstagram #artistontumblr #contemporaryart #mixedmedia #layers #modernart #kunst #artblog #abstractogram #abstractexpressionism #nonobjective #gesturalabstraction #acrylic #pencil #graphite #markmaking #contemporary_abstraction (at Orange, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA0qFO7HCoW/?igshid=1qpinoyn5wfwt
