this drawing got lost in the shuffle for about ten weeks before being finished a couple days ago.

painting again
Last week I started a new painting on a 24×30″ birch panel. It will be submitted to a local group show whose deadline for submission is just over a week away. I’ve been adding photos and short videos to my Instagram stories to document the process.
Claremont Art Show: September 17th
I’m pleased to announce I have a painting that will be exhibited at the Claremont ART SHOW – Laemmle Claremont 5 which has an opening Sunday, September 17th from 11am – 3pm.
People’s Choice Awards (1st, 2nd & 3rd place) will be based on how many people “like” the work posted on the Facebook event page – so do me a favor and help increase my chances of winning some new art supplies by liking my work there. (I’ll make it easy and add a link to it here)
The opening reception is free to attend and there will be light refreshments,
Hope to see you there!

VOCABUALRIES: mixed media drawings by John Otter
SPACE Gallery is pleased to present
“VOCABULARIES: mixed media drawings by John Otter.”
Show Opening: Saturday, April 1st 6-9PM
Artist Reception: Friday, April 7th 6-10pm
John Otter was born and raised in San Diego, California, where he began his art career as a printmaker. He received his BFA from the School of Art Institute of Chicago, and studied at the New York Studio Program.
Otter fell in love with drawing at an early age, filling sketchbooks with pen and ink drawings that hint at the abstract style he would return to later in life. Repetitive patterns, concentric circles, stippling and cross-hatching have remained an integral part of his drawings.
His recent work on paper strives to harmonize disparate concepts, merging notions of the synthetic and the organic, cities and nature, circuitry and water.
Using a variety of techniques and devices, Otter is interested in simplifying complex feelings, ideas and states of mind into visual playgrounds with space for the eye and mind to wander through and explore.
