Sustained Investigation #11

James Seely

14" x 17"

Graphite pencil, black pen, red marker, exacto knife, lighter,

The main idea that guided this was the holiday of veterans day and how my grandfather was in the navy.

For materials I used different shades of pencil and a black pen for the lines and a lighter for the edges of the paper. I also used an exacto knife and a cutting board for the borders of the countries where the ocean starts.

Some processes I went through were drawing the grid on the picture i printed, researching where the bases were in Italy and Japan, cutting out the oceans, and burning the edges to make it look older and worn.
