There’s no such thing as brown light! The color brown doesn’t exist in the external reality, but only in your internal reality: it’s simply what you perceive when seeing dim orange light against a darker background.

Still fascinated by Perception Vs. Reality
I have been doing a lot of work, surprisingly. I am still coping with learning the new media and focusing more on drawing with more control as tempted as I am to use straight-edges and drawing(technical templates). I believe a circle hand-drawn is more revealing about the artist and skill. Not that skill counts for a whole lot, even if the world may disagree.
I suppose a bit of art speak is necessary at some point. If I have to put it in one word right now, I choose Creation, if I need to provide two words, Creation and Chaos. If I must give the reader three words… Creation, Chaos, and Order.
My friends tell me that the found paper I am working with isn’t such a good idea. They say it must be acid-free and have the ability to endure time. I understand their reasoning, and I guess to preserve the value of the work.I have two pieces of art that I did when I was very young and when I open a drawer and see them, I think how beautiful it is that they are fading and turning a warm patina of age. By not worrying about the paper’s acidic nature, I feel I am embracing nature and time as Stefan Sagmeister did in his ‘Lisbon Billboard (2009).
I am archiving my work. Being that my drawings are small, that is easy. I have been digitizing them as well, building a body of work. I am having an opening of sorts on Second Life tomorrow.
Stay healthy… Thanks for reading,
