I haven’t sketched this thing in ages, but I actually sketched it for the first time almost ten years ago. This is “Eye on Mrak”, one of Robert Arneson’s well-known Eggheads, sculptures that live on the UC Davis campus. Friday lunchtime I decided I needed to sketch it again. This made me hungry for boiled egg.
Here are my previous versions: 2009, 2007 and 2005. 2005! When I sketched the actual ‘eye’ part. That was before I even worked at UC Davis, I had no idea what Mrak Hall was.

Great to see the years progressions….I can see the egg reference…..Humpty Dumpty also comes to mind….
Beauty your work…!!!
Thank you!
Thanks for capturing Robert Arneson’s piece. I love his cockeyed view of things. Have you seen his soup tureen – genius!
Cheers! No, I don’t think I have seen that. Where is it?
I think the tureen, titled Hot Soup, is in the Fendrick collection which is unfortunately closed. The tureen, as you can imagine, was Arneson’s head on a platter. The top of his head was a lid and the platter was glazed an appropriately gory red. I could not find a photo. You would have enjoyed seeing it.
Sounds very Arneson!
