A heart a part

(4.5'X5') Overheard in Amsterdam: In-progress composition of a sketch I drew after overhearing a couple arguing about their past love lives. She said, "You know I know", and he said, "I know you know". There was such a symmetry to the moment and it struck me that a heart shape can be as divergent a form as it is a unifying one. It's better if the couple is looking at you, like they know about you too.
I'm also experimenting with a projector for the first time. Not for tracing - the drawings of the faces (and all the tape drawings to date) are painstakingly done freehand - but because I wanted to try drawing a pattern using a grid that I project over the whole thing at the end. That's what the pink tape is for.

One of my favorites. Nice work. Really like the curved lines pattern you included in the piece.
