Description

“Morpheus” (2021)
by Carson Grubaugh (1981- )
8.5 x 11 in., ink on paper
Coppola Collection

At the Patreon site organized by Sean Michael Robinson and Carson Grubaugh, which accompanies their collaboration on “Living the Line,” they offer a premium based on Carson’s Google Grab-Bag schtick.

He offers an original straight-to-ink sketch. Here is how that works. You are asked to provide a word or phrase (and obviously you can game this a bit). Carson then searches this word or phrase using Google Images. The first photographic image listed by Google Images will be the source material for the straight-to-ink sketch.

Carson has got a great eye. In fact, it freaks me out. He can use a brush (or pen) on paper with NO underlying outline, lay down lines or brushstrokes all over the page, and in about 20-30 minutes he produces a sketch. And all without the training wheels! He records it live. There are videos of this on YouTube (and at the Patreon site).

The December 2021 Grab-Bag phrase came from me. In fact, all three words that were voted on came from me. In honors of the new Matrix movie, I offered up “The Matrix Morpheus,” “The Matrix Neo,” and “The Matrix Trinity.”

Morpheus won. The picture that Carson worked from is in the additional images.

This portrait looks great with all that shadow for the depth of those facial features, the leather tufted cushioning, and his intricate and impeccable wardrobe.  Very much a boss feel to Morpheus' presence.

Thanks, Marcus. If you have never watched Carson do one of these, it really freaks me out from a raw talent level. Blank piece of paper... brush with ink... no sketch. Every line is a commitment.

He's not posted the sped-up version yet, but here is the hour it took to do this Morpheus.
