Daniel Eatock: Pens Paper / Available at www.draw-down.com / British artist and designer #DanielEatock creates concept-driven pieces that explore the recording of actions. Over the past two decades, he has repurposed the conventional tools of #graphicdesign —colored felt-tip pens and white paper—to produce his most distinctive work. Working in series, Eatock either rests inverted pens on stacks of paper or places paper on the nibs of upright pens, leaving time and chance to make their marks. Surprisingly, these straightforward, mechanical steps produce abstract, organic sequences that range from bright dots to bleeding pools of intense color. In a sense, this #experimental work is self-producing. By devising set-ups that systematically make art, #Eatock retains control over the execution, but relinquishes control of the outcome – faithfully observing his manifesto’s directives to “embrace chance” and “trust the process”. This action-based approach is also evident in his instruction of the participants who collaborated to create his circle drawings.Including an insightful essay by Cranbrook Art Museum director #AndrewBlauvelt —this book is the first dedicated survey of Eatock’s felt-tip prints, works that put pen to paper in a newly absorbing way.

This designer uses a incredibly simple website, basically a title and list in the same typeface, this draws attention to his work which is funny and playful, this works, but doesn't emphasise the energy that his work has.
