Drawing by Michael Gira

not new, but seriously great..... back in 2009, Michael Gira (most notable of SWANS) released this collection of 20 professionally reproduced drawings in a limited quantity of 500...


the covers were 2 color printed (black and white ink) on a 18pt chipboard which has been folded to create a folio for the 20 loose drawings to live in. Michael signed and numbered each edition on the back cover in pen...


here are some shots of my favorite drawings from the collection. i am really drawn to the raw quality of his drawing style. there is a lot of emotion in the images he created, specifically in the way he handles his text. it's like these images just exploded from his mind and he had to get them down as quick as possible.... there is something really breathtaking in this level of unfiltered energy that stops me in my tracks whenever i look at them....
