Gnumaginations Art & Drawings
Original drawings by Gary “Whit” Whitworth Brower—dense with color, pattern, rhythm, hidden words, playful figures, and ideas that refuse to stay inside the lines.
Ink, Color & Improvisation
Whit works with a wide-ranging mix of pastel, metallic, gel, and ballpoint inks, including Jelly Roll and Faber-Castell pens, alongside highlighters, glow-in-the-dark ink, colored pencils, and whatever other tools help an idea find its form. Many pieces begin without a fixed destination and develop through repetition, collision, rhythm, and discovery.
Look closely. The word GNUMAGINATIONS is hidden inside many works, as is Whit’s distinctive G drawn like a musical note. Finding them is part of the experience.
