Artist Statement for Todd Mayfield
|
|
|
My name is Todd Mayfield and I enjoy drawing more than
anything else. Well, almost anything. Like many of todays
artists I also dabble in graphic design. Actually, I make my
living as a graphic designer for a company in Norman, Ok,
where I live. I graduated from the University of Oklahoma
with a degree in Visual Communications, which is just
a fancy term for graphic design.
Most of my illustrations are composed of one or two simple
elements or people, like a portrait. When I first started taking
drawing seriously I drew mostly in pen and tried to draw really
weird psychodelic style stuff. You know, where I really wouldn't
plan anything out and would just make it up as I went. Over
the years I've shifted to more simple pieces, but with much
more thought and detail than what I did before. In some of
my recent drawings you can see glimpses of a psyhodelic
influence, such as The White Stripes drawing and my first
Self-Portrait.
Most of my drawings are done pretty quickly. I usually don't
spend more than 8 or 10 hours on a piece. However, in the
future I am focused on spending as much time possible in
order to get the piece perfect. I have decided this on account
of I have screwed up some drawings because I was in such
a hurry. I really don't have anything much more to say. I hope
the drawings speak for themselves. I will add that I am going
to produce more paintings in the future. Hope you enjoy!
Todd Mayfield
