Recuperating Dug Rusin @captainpurple.bsky.social · Sep 4
I’m Dug. Living in Metro Detroit I put in 25 years as a page-builder (graphic designer) until the small paper I worked for closed. Now (mostly) retired I’m returning to my surrealist roots, usually working with traditional pen and pencil drawing & polymer clay sculpture

Here is a sampling of my art
A pen and color pencil drawing of a young woman with an oversized head, her red hair gently moved by the wind stands in a black-hulled small ship (based on a Little Tikes tugboat shaped sandbox), holds onto the white cabin with her left hand. There is nobody at the wheel of the ship. In her right is a white bird house that has a brown leather suitcase handle attached to the green roof. Above her head is a blender, the black electric cord curving around like a halo. And around the blender is a swirling cloud of razor blades. The grey sky is overcast, and there are gentle but pronounced swells in the vibrant blue green water. At the bottom right, just below the green blue waterline a circling shark can be seen. A fairy house made of polymer clay. It appears to be a taller, upside down terra cotta pot with green door trimmed in blue. There is a flat, terracotta awning supported by twigs over the entrance. The 2nd story features half-round green windows, also trimmed in blue. Also visible is a more conventional square green window. Yup! Trimmed in blue! A pen drawing of a rhinoceros with a house-shaped burden on its back. The rhino is mostly grey. The house has the number 20 and letter “w” and a scissor headed bird on the front. There is a long brass pole that extends out horizontally from the structure that has a pumpkin dangling from it A side view of an Indian rhino from the left, based on Albrecht Durer’s 1515 engraving. This one is made of polymer clay and polychromed in shades of yellow, green and purple

A warshing machine looks on in terror as a white sock is about to be dropped into what is clearly a dark load. The theme of this Inktober day is 'reckless'. Hope you are well.
