“Mississippi Dream Map (3 Johnboats)” pen and ink drawing

This was a hugely successful experiment, but it is also the worst thing I’ve ever made in terms of archival properties.  Specifically I am referring to the packing tape. I was just sitting on floor of the studio with some scrap paper and started doodling with a permanent marker.  Eventually the doodle became very focused, so I started cutting out the parts that didn’t work, taping in new paper and redrawing these areas.
