It’s Cinematic!

One of the things I love to draw on a clean white surface is a frame.  There is something delicious about defining your drawing space.  It’s almost like saying, “In this square, I will draw something noteworthy!” before you have even done it.  A little trumpet sounds somewhere in the distance, if you will, and the excitement of filling the space as well as you can–without exceeding the lines–is inspiring.  Because I liken this process to old movie film frames, I decided to make a little homage to the silver screen in this frame set.  Naturally, there is a little deco element mixed in; after all, the golden age of film coincides with the golden age of art deco.
