    willie,

    i've become quite attached
    to your blog and this week's match.
    You think in ways I love to see:
    in every way creatively.

    Thanks for the poem from you to me
    I enjoyed it thoroughly
    And just in case you might not know:
    Your work is awesome, not so-so.

    :)

    Oh, I really love them both, especially the one with the burnt edge. Wish I'd thought of that! Your drawings have a great graphic quality.

  35. zann7:09 AM

    love the second one. There is something about drawings coming to life or the representation of that, that really appeals to me. Excellent

    ReplyDelete
  36. Anonymous7:45 AM

    let me decide for you ;)
    the bottom one is definetely the best...i tried too such burning experiments and it was difficult to "drive" the flame...

    ReplyDelete
  37. Amy Zaleski8:43 AM

    Willie these are wonderful! Hey also got my October HOW magazine yesterday - congrats on the "Rough Weather" piece. It grabbed my eye right away, then I smiled when I saw your name. Very cool piece!

    Dang, WB -- you're in HOW? You are, to quote ZZ Top, "Nationwide."

    I hope you remember us who knew you when...

    ;-)

    Anyway, these matches are matchless.
    I love the rural Americana feeling of the Domino matches, and I love the burnt fun of the match cross. And both make me want to fire up a grill.

    Sorry haven't commented lately, it's been a tad overloady at work so it's all I can do to hang on and post new schtuff.

    Bth are great, Willie. I admire the top one for its detail and feeling of texture, and heck..the bottom one too! No perfect matches, but very fine drawings!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Poetree8:24 AM

    I liked the matches, specially the one at the bottom.
    Salud!

  48. Susan Mitchell11:32 AM

    Both really cool drawings but I especially like the top one - have you ever seen David Shrigley's work? I have a feeling you might enjoy it :)

    ReplyDelete
  49. Bill Z9:27 PM

    love that top one - very interesting the way the black-outlined matches work with the no-outlines box face

    ReplyDelete
  50. Gabrielle7:44 AM

    Wow. Love the look of the first and the concept of the second.

    Did you use marker for the colour? What size is the work? I'm just curious about the scale because it could work as a tiny or a large drawing.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Andrea1:46 PM

    These are both great! The top one looks pretty close to perfect to me!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Michael O'Connell9:40 PM

    i like them both but the second one is brilliant… almost as if the horizontal match was too impatient

    ReplyDelete
  53. letile10:37 PM

    love the one with the burn- mixing 2d with 3d- brilliant!

    ReplyDelete
  54. flossy-p6:01 PM

    I like them both but I LOVE the bottom one! It's clever, simple but overflowing with meaning. LOVE it!

    (p.s. i drew a ladder last week, hoping it would give you a bit of a thrill, hehehehe)
