pleasedestroythis: The transition…how a terrible drawing by Jacob Juhl gets a makeover by John Reuss, only to be cut up by Jacob. Finally John gives it some subtle touches, before Jacob gives up and declares that the Work is done… Visual artist Jacob Juhl, my partner in crime from the Please Destroy This project, made this overview of the transition of our latest finished piece. Interesting just how drastic the change is from the initial drawing to the finished piece! We’re contemplating the possibility of making the project into an exhibition and maybe show some overviews of the process of individual pieces at the exhibition of the finished work….

Borderland 2013. Acrylics, charcoal & pencil. 90x120 cm This is an example of how I sometimes go back and work on already “finished” pieces. Sometimes I destroy them completely, paint them over completely or in part - or as here where I have tweaked the original dating back from 2010. I did more work on the figure but left the background mostly untouched. John Reuss
