Day 5, [the last day] 2010’s

Day 5, [the last day] 2010’s, it  seems to be a time of going back, to drawing, pencils, ink, paper, and my hands. I have always wanted a marriage of my inner and outer worlds; my love of simplicity, order, rationality, and beauty with my love of chaos, mess, fragments, layers and contradiction and beauty. We’ll see what happens.

  1. Wow. I find it difficult to know what to comment in this small box. When I look back over my own similar decades I almost feel as if not only was it a different time, but also a different person. You at least have been consistent in your overall occupation, whereas I, although always creative in outlook was a salaried publisher (wanting to be an artist) and now am a hobby artist.
    I am drawn to your work, admire what you have done - the strong emotional stuff in Day 3, the explorative in Day 1 - but for me the strength, the greatest pull is in Days 4 and 5.

    I understand completely your seduction by computer. How much you achieved with it, beautiful work - all your work is different kinds of beautiful. But the strongest, and that which deprives me of words to express myself are the works you have been exploring recently. I thank the day I stumbled across your blog.

  2. Bliss. Just sheer bliss. That's the feeling this post has imparted. I'm going back to looking at the pictures and sighing happily now.
