Cafe Chronicles, April 2014
Calligraphy and Drawings by Thomas Ingmire
San Francisco, CA,  2013
Unique Book
5.5 x 7.5 inches,  36 pages

The  pages of the April 2014 book are made up of pen drawings and water color shapes. The drawings, again, all made at Caffe Puccini, were done first, with the water colors added later at home in the studio.  The over-riding interest with both drawing and with the water color additions is a concern for the composition of the page and relationships between the figures. The white of the page created by the water color shapes is as important as the shapes themselves. While it is nice when a person that  I am drawing is recognizable, that is not my focus or objective. I am happy  enough when the result is  merely recognizable as a human. Beyond that I look to create a rhythmical relationship between shapes, values, and in the case of this month, the colors.

    I I like the words of the poet, Juan Ramon Jimenez, "if they give you lined paper, turn it sideways." For calligraphy to become relevant in the modern world, it seems to me that it must embrace the ideas behind these words. The works in this section of the website will represent my endeavors to explore new boundaries.
