Starting in 2008, artist and designer Leon Rosenblatt began a series of graphite drawings entitled Streamers, a group of more than forty chronologically drawn pieces that seem to flow into each other in an ongoing, surrealistic landscape.

The work is unique in that although each of the meticulously detailed drawings stands alone, there is no denying the continuing "story" of imagery. Rosenblatt refers to this process as "streaming" because he creates the drawings purely from his subconscious memory. Starting randomly on each page, he uses no reference, still life objects or photographs. What first seems to be abstract, becomes three dimensionally alive, even if the objects are often just beyond the recognizable.

The drawings themselves are dark and thick, not only in their hinting of a gnarled and littered future, but in the vigorous, sometimes heavy application of the graphite itself. There is so much layering and rubbing of the surface, it seems impossible that in the beginning, Rosenblatt simply started with a few marks on a blank sheet of paper.
