Title
Distractions
Artist
Paul Davenport
Medium
Drawing - Charcoal And Graphite On Paper
Description
Secondary heading could well be 'Portrait of Western Culture'.
and I could well rant on for a while.... but I won't :-)
This is my offering to the Strathmore, "Pass The Journal" project. I received the travelling journal from Nicolas Skorupka in Nice, France https://www.behance.net/Nicolas-Skorupka and have now done my entry and past the sketchbook on for it to complete its journeys to various artists around the globe.
There are twelve journals in all and if you're curious about the project, its the 'Thistle' journal
https://www.strathmoreartist.com/pass-the-journal/#/journals
and the timeline for my entry can be seen on behance, I used my entry as I would normally use my sketchbook, with the exception of doing a preliminary sketch as I didn't want to ruin the journal. Which is rather unfortunate as the initial sketch captured what I was aiming for better than the final drawing.

A highly creative, poignant, and unfortunately true comment on the disparities that can be found in our world.

Congratulations, Paul, on SOCIAL COMMENTARY OF THE WEEK, in Our World Gallery, group! Good example, of the difference between the children's government. ~ I could well rant on for a while.... but I won't, :|
Paul Davenport replied:
Thank you Maria:-) - the initial spark was me encountering a person in a gallery! - They were stood in front of a beautiful twenty foot abstract painting completely oblivious and engrossed in their mobile, texting. My mobile is rather stupid - I don't have a smartphone... I think they are despicable!
