Artist: Duffy
It’s not easy to tell, but this pastel was part of a game. Well Duffy invented the game, and actually he was the only one that ever played the game, but it was an excellent pastel drawing game, and I simply have to share it with you.
The game is actually pretty simple. You take a dictionary and flip to a random page. On that page you’re allowed to pick any word you want (aside from the words in the definitions), but you must stick with the page you flipped to. You repeat this for a second page, which leaves you with two words. Your job now is to draw your interpretation of those two words. In Duffy’s case, he got the words slap and costume, which left him with a boy trick-or-treating in a giant hand costume. People being shocked at the ridiculous costume gave the kid little candy, and thus the text at the top of the drawing.
This isn’t the first mention of a pastel drawing game on House of Pastels. I also talked about another game in the post You Suddenly Realize that you Need to see a Psychiatrist. Duffy actually invented a second game during the same pastel drawing session, but we never had a chance to play it. The game involves one person drawing on one half of a piece of paper, and then covering that half, except for a small band which will connect to the other half. Next a second person continues drawing on the second half making sure to connect to the small band that the first person left visible. Once the second person is finished, the entire drawing is revealed to both artist.
