A collage inspired by a sketch of an abstracted tree branch and an exploration of landscapes, but also by the vintage, found, and painted papers themselves.

The great thing about the Rocky Mountains is so many views to scribble.

Fineline ink pen drawing of a Rocky Mountain view, snowy patches among the ridge and evergreens in the foreground.

Cuttings pasted to grey paper; an engraving of a man on his deathbed above a partial image of a woman with anguished expression and gesticulating arms raised; the missing part cut-out resembles a mountain

I have now added Sweep and two Blurs to my gallery of line-centric drawings, if you’re interested. Lots of amazingly cool people own my stuff. Honest. Yet still not enough. Please share if you can www.chloecumming.com/almost-drawi...

Sweeping drawing of sweep in charcoal and graphite with coloured little bits in hard pastel, red nose, based on an old puppet

A drawing of early nineties blur in charcoal and graphite with some red and orange highlight type bits, crude Alex

Mechanical pencil blur sort of wiggly and taking subtle liberties, circa 1994

Can't help myself #ULTRAKILL

A traditional pencil drawing of Gabriel from ULTRAKILL, facing left, visible from the shoulders up. Overlaid over his helm is V1's hand holding a handgun and behind his head is the Can't Help Myself art installation surrounded by its puddle of "blood". A cross points up at the junction of his neck and chin.
