The Instamatic

This is a spoof on the “all in one” camera. Obviously, this camera never existed, but I have always enjoyed how it sums up the difficulty inherit in trying to do photography well. I personally look back with satisfaction when I look at this piece. I love the figure 8 approach to the design — with the eye moving continuously through the lens and light bulbs and back and forth. A lot of my photographer friends love this piece.

Unique to all these drawings is their method of execution.
These are all stippled (pointillism) drawings using a rapid-o-graph pen on illustration board. Needless to say they take a very long time, but I truly enjoy the process. The actual prints are around half size of the originals and are printed on 100% archival quality acid free rag paper and each one is signed by myself with a HB pencil and indicated as a A/P (artist’s proof).
