Why I draw to transmediate text

This is not about making art or communicating ideas. I did not draw to express myself. In fact, I do not feel comfortable being judged as an artist because I was not trained in the fine arts.

I look at the sketch and see numerous mistakes. It is obvious I had no idea what to do with the nose… the color and shading look odd…  I used a photograph as a reference, but did not finish the arms…. they are underwater, and I lack the skill to make look believable. Positively, this is not about art or the activity of art making.

I was reading a chapter from “The Minor Gesture,” and became drawn to the concept of body-world split referenced by Manning as a “neurotypical account of experience.” When I think of my body, it is always different from the world. Why not?

  1. Dabetlive, eh? Gave them a go the other day. Not a bad experience, to be honest. The live dealers were friendly and the interface is easy to use. Worth checking out if you’re looking for some live action. Get started here: dabetlive
