I see some pretty brush strokes individually but, please excuse my very arrogant opinion, it's a real mess alltogether! XD

...is... is that a footprint? ^.^;

Ahaha, that's ok. You don't like Franz Kline I take it?

I agree that this drawing is not successful, but it has potential. The black ink ones are my earliest ones and are more like prototypes. My peers seem to enjoy the performance though.

I do like Franz Kline (just googled the bloke) and can see what you mean, but to me this really doesn't seem to resemble his work. The brush strokes are more loose and the composition less definite. I can certainly see potential and perhaps the photo doesn't do the contrast of the drawing justice. I just think it needs to be reined in a bit more and then it will take on the form more clearly which you see in it; hopefully without losing the looseness. ^.^

Oh of course, I don't mean to put myself on the same league as Kline, just that the aesthetic was something I took into consideration.

I was not trying to emulate him. If I was, I'd work larger, use house paint and have more control. I wrongly assumed that what you considered messy was the general aesthetic and not the composition specifically. I had very little control using a brush nearly as tall as I am, performing longsword techniques (hews). Plus, if I recall correctly, Kline would layer white on black and visa versa, which is also something I did not do.

I was also inspired by other artists such as Anselm Kiefer ("Parsifal", "Nothung", "Germany's Spiritual Heroes") and Caspar David Friedrich ("Sea of Ice").

At least for me, when I take inspiration from other artists, it's not all too literal. It would be arrogant of me to say that I could paint exactly like Kline. All I can do is see his work and learn what I can for it. Franz Kline's work and mine are very different, but I am inspired by his work.

To keep in an Abstract Expressionist theme, Jackson Pollock said something like (paraphrasing):
The act of my painting is the real artwork, the finished result is a record of it.

Similarly, this prototype drawing is more of a record of the real art (my performative movements made when making the work).
