- “Sandbox Shakers”, mixed media by Kerry McFall
Abstract! By George, I think I’ve got it… as close as I’m going to come in this lifetime I suspect. After scribbling for three weeks in a row as the Sandbox crew drummed and played for a couple of hours each session, I finally let my pen just dance around on the paper. I left the sketchbook to sit and mellow on the music stand of our piano in the living room for a few days, then picked it up again this afternoon and let the fun begin with Photoshop. Above is the result of just messing around – sort of a squirrelly portrait of Rob Birdwell the more I look at it…
Below are a couple of others I did the same night. Once again, a young musician stole the show in my book, this one very young – middle school maybe? – but just drawing his hands as they flew over the drum, it looks to me like he’s got a future in musicland.
