Matt Niebuhr is an artist living and working in West Branch, Iowa.

.../miscellaneous - is a personal journal, self educational in nature, containing notes and images that inspire me, or that I wish to learn more about - as such, it includes works by other people as noted with full acknowledgment and credit to authors and sources where possible.

I also share content of my own making that I think is worth sharing with a larger audience. If there is any work by others who object to having their work posted here, I will remove the content if so requested.

in graphite on paper graphite drawing skip Matt Niebuhr

Skip - is composed of traces of General’s graphite sticks (4B) and a Pink Pearl on gridded drafting paper -  This series came about for a number of reasons, one is simply that I have a number of different scraps of graphite sticks - each different lengths and shapes which offers up an interesting result in different types of marks… But, I like “skip” because simply I was walking with my daughter the other day - hand in hand and she was “skipping” and trying to avoid the cracks in the sidewalk along the way - it created the most wonder rhythm hand in hand as she sang the “ABC’s” song… So this is a trace of my memory of that - so I won’t forget - how important things happen in everyday occurrences - and that she may remember some of these days too…. More works are collected on my site: www.mattniebuhr.com - check out the “Drawings” sections….
