O, DONUTS!

Here are a few of my donut sketches from my "Everything Book." After about a dozen donut sketches (pencil on paper), I decided to take this in a different direction. I decided to make it more concept- than product-based, like the artist we discussed in class before the One-Minute Sketches who provided his viewers with directions to engage them in the artmaking process. So, here is my concept as written in my book:

Directions: Follow the instructions to complete the 50 Donuts assignment for me. If you are like me and do not have the time or desire to draw a donut 50 times, read the instructions and visualize each composition rather than actually drawing it.

1. Draw a donut that smiles (but does not laugh) when you tell your best joke. 2. Draw a stack of donuts next to the world's largest stack of donuts. 3. Draw a donut and a hotdog tenderly expressing their love for one another. 4. Draw donuts playing poker. 5. Draw Mick Jagger feeding donuts to his shirt sleeve. 6. Draw the invisible donut. 7. Draw the image of a donut on a real donut with a donut. 8. Draw a donut drawing you drawing it. 9. Draw the opposite of a donut. 10. Draw an inside-out donut. 11. Draw an illiterate donut pretending to read the New York Times. 12. Draw a donut's reoccurring night terror. 13. Draw a donut as seen from 3 miles away. 14. Draw George W. Bush trying to spell "donut." 15. Draw a donut walking into a bar. 16. Draw Buddha stealing Jesus Christ's last donut at 3:30 am. 16. Draw the invention of the donut. 17. Draw the aristocrat donut family performing for a talent scout. 18. Draw the reinvention of the donut in post-apocalyptic Belgium. 19. Draw a connect-the-dots donut. 20. Draw your hatred of donuts. 21. Draw Koko the chimpanzee inaccurately using sign language to communicate her desire for a donut. 22. Draw a donut passing through the digestive tract of Rush Limbaugh. 23. Draw God as understood by a donut. 24. Draw the donut's prehistoric ancestor. 25. Draw the molecular structure of a donut. 26. Draw the crime scene of a donut homicide. 27. Draw a supercharged '76 Dodge Charger doing donuts in the parking lot of a Piggly Wiggly. 28. Draw a donut - start at the end of the drawing and work your way back to the beginning. 29. Draw me drawing 50 donuts. 30. Write your favorite Bible verse as many times as it will fit on the bottom of a box of one dozen donuts, construct a raft out of half empty cartons of rice milk, rig it with a Saran Wrap sail, drive to Minnesota, place the donut raft on the Mississippi, fly to New Orleans on the next flight departing on a Tuesday, find a place on the bank of the river, sit down and sing "Baby, Please Don't Go" continuously until you realize how disappointed you are that you read this.
