Jesse Miksic // Hybrid Gesture
  • An ink drawing with a brush, showing a large bird perched on a branch, its wings halfway spread. On another branch just below, a crown dangles unimpressively. The bird seems to be looking past it. There is a mess of ink stains on the page, and the number 03 is handwritten in the white space.

    Crown (Inktober 2025-03)

    ByJesse M October 6, 2025October 6, 2025

    I never really decided whether this bird is an eagle, or a vulture. Either way, its contempt for the crown is absolute.

  • A pen and ink drawing, created using brushes and fineliner pens, showing a disembodied forearm and hand pulling a thread downward. Another thread attaches to the forearm from below, implying that the hand is pulling its own string and unraveling itself. There are other strands of fiber hanging loosely about the hand. The number 02 appears to the left, and a column of messy, diluted black ink adds texture to the negative space.

    Weave (Inktober 2025-02)

    ByJesse M October 4, 2025October 4, 2025

    Search mercilessly for what’s inside, even if you have to unstitch yourself to get to it.

  • A painting in black ink, showing a portrait of a male head, its eyes in shadow, with an epic moustache connecting to a wild mane of sideburns. He is wearing a cabby hat. There is a hand-scrawled number zero-one on the page, and there are conspicuous splashes of ink, adding texture to the empty space around the portrait.

    Mustache (Inktober 2025-01)

    ByJesse M October 3, 2025

    A loose, grungy portrait of an intimidating man for Inktober day 01.

  • A realistic drawing from imagination in fineliner, showing a face looking up from the front, exposing its neck and throat. The drawing is rendered in angular crosshatching of different densities for values.

    What’s there? Everything.

    ByJesse M October 2, 2025October 2, 2025

    A portrait in pen and ink, mostly neck. Some thoughts about looking inward by looking upward.

  • A pencil sketch of an old, tough man with a thick beard and a scar across his right eye. He appears to be a worker, wearing a beanie and carrying a rope coiled over one shoulder. He has a symbol tattooed on his shoulder, looking like a compass with something extending below it.

    Load Bearing Eyes

    ByJesse M September 29, 2025September 29, 2025

    Still exploring the landscape of faces — old faces, expressive faces, faces that speak in many voices at once.

  • A watercolor painting, showing a tree with vibrant Fall colors in the foreground, leaning away from the viewer. The background is a low grassy hill with a path leading up over the apex.

    A Disciplined Arrow

    ByJesse M September 23, 2025September 23, 2025

    “the forces of nature move with them” // Fall as a season of purposeful movement, the transition between the nervous, chaotic energy of summer and the frozen stasis of winter.

  • A sketchbook drawing of a werewolf in half-human form, with a wolf's head and mantle and a human arms, chest, and legs. It has a muscular male torso, a hint of claws at its knuckles, and it leans forward aggressively.

    Actually, Just One

    ByJesse M September 19, 2025September 19, 2025

    Actually, inside me there is just one wolf.

    You have two? That must be very uncomfortable.

    Oops, it seems to be coming out.

    On the Very Idea of Permanence

    ByJesse M September 17, 2025September 17, 2025

    There is nothing like going through your old Internet stuff to trigger some contemplation about impermanence… and maybe also some theories on the nature of the universe as artifact, held together by the Gorilla Glue of fate.

    Welcome to Fall, don’t forget your hat and your club!

    Watch the Hair

    ByJesse M August 28, 2025September 17, 2025

    When you’re practicing faces and figures a lot, it’s easy to start getting obsessed with them. So maybe add some cool hair as a distraction.
