Allan Linder: Sketchbook

Like many artists, Linder keeps an ongoing physical sketchbook to create ideas and experiments. Some are finished works of art, and many are not. Sketches can be a way to work out problems that might exist before he turns them into a painting or animation.

This place will be updated frequently and in no particular order. Every year he fills approximately five to six sketchbooks with ideas. Some of them make it into a project and some don't. Check back here frequently, because he will update this all the time.

Above is the final piece of work. Purification is graphite on acid-free paper 7 x 5 inches created in 2022.

Here you can see the piece is really taking shape and the detail is coming together. the small rectangles at the bottom are similar to a cartouche.

Here are the small but overwhelming details coming into focus.

Purification will be available as a print and NFT when during the exhibition of this piece.⁠

Here is a little more detail on the close-up of this new piece titled Purification.

My work titled Purification will be on display at the historic Galerie in Körnerpark Berlin, Germany. This drawing is graphite on acid-free paper. Above is the beginning drawing of the work. You can see the progression of the drawing as it reaches its final form.
