Spanning Time




Not much going on.  Working a lot.  Riding my bike.  Having an awesome time.  I did this little painting in a sketchbook.  I guess it's kind of a colored drawing.  I started it on a flight home from Portland and then finished the drawing part of it while I was waiting for an oil change.  I painted it today just for kicks.  Have a good one.

Even a “flat” piece of paper becomes a dynamic form when you pick it up off the table. It bends and moves. Everything exists in some kind of space, and since the human imagination has the capacity to deconstruct and transcend what we know as “reality” we ought not limit ourselves to two dimensions-- especially this ear...
