Cold Sound
A digital drawing of a semi-imagined winter landscape.
Tried to draw an approximation of our landscape mid-whiteout. This is a digital drawing made in Procreate.
I enjoy writing alt text for drawings.
Abstract drawing made in Procreate. Luminous orange and pink on a grey background with rich black marks and text. Mixed drawn letters that can spell various things depending on how they are read: UN DO WE KNOW KNOT NO NOT
Digital drawing from last night.
This problem simply went away so I have no idea what was going on. I’m glad because, while I like that Bluesky has a text focus, I want to use words and visuals most of the time.
Thank you!
This is a photo of an abstract drawing that contains the words PATH OBSCURED and uses paint, paper, and pencil. It was made by Davin Risk in 2024.
Path Obscured, 2024
This is a recent drawing made on a Masonite panel. I’ve been using scraps from a large very old watchmaker’s blueprint as collage elements. I love the deepness of the blue.

I also think that Lists and Packs should have somewhat finite themes. Like I obviously enjoy art but a list that is just “all artists” will quickly be mostly things I’m not as interested in.
Starter Packs are great but I do take a cautious approach to anything that asks me to follow any collection of accounts all at once. I tend to go through the listed accounts and only follow those that look interesting to me. Auto-follows just lead to too much noise overall.
I can’t seem to post images here anymore. Wondering if this is a growth hiccup or something odd on my end.
Every Twombly drawing I see has such resonance. I really appreciate his approach that every line, letterform, or word was a form of associative drawing. I feel the same way.
That is some solid plexiglass work on that shrine! I also like that the water bottle cloches end up feeling ornate in association with the shrine.
It’s pretty straightforward as long as you have access to your DNS. Hopefully as Bluesky continues to expand, it will get even easier.
Even better, make your Bluesky handle your domain.

My latest art post about words in drawings and how the spaces between words can make them into open source poetry.

I got a stack of thin Masonite panels cheap from the thrift store so gave one a test run tonight. It’s been quite some time since I worked on something other than paper. It was nice to have some extra forgiveness for scratching back at paint layers.

I’d like to connect with more artists on Bluesky. I’m interested in many things but it would be cool to find other people working with abstract drawing and painting.
Here’s one of my recent drawings for context.
My most recent post is about a form of reactive natural art/play I call Beach Ephemerals

Hi again Bluesky, here is the sky tonight with its myriad pin pricks of old light.
Promo image for my post “Permutations” with the excerpt text: I wrote recently about language and words in my artwork and the form of visual poetry I can see in some of what I do. There’s an intention in the way I choose to work that favours a lack of intention. I know… stay with me for a bit here. I try to work in ways that don’t presume what the work will be.
I posted about poetic permutations and releasing intention in art making.
