Zone – Updated
One of my favorite parking lot got a paint job! Even though the contrast is better now, I miss the old ‘zone’. (What would the Flatlanders think?)

In Their Own Worlds
Flatland Shadow on Old White Line Universe
Unlike yesterday’s post, it is possible to determine two separate universes from the third dimension, as seen in the photo below. The curb-level universe casts a shadow on the plane below, which is the realm of the old white line. If this wizened native of the nether flatland has ever encountered shadows from other worlds […]
Watercolor Portrait Over Blind Drawing
I wanted to see what would happen if I superimposed a regular, studied sketch on a blind drawing of the same portrait subject. I used a photograph of my father as the model on which to experiment. My choice of subject holds emotional content, as my dad passed away a while ago and I still […]

In the pen and ink/watercolor experiment below, I used two of my previous sketches (Man with Hair Too Small for Rest of Face and At the Eye Doctor’s). I drew the outlines […]

As soon as I drew the subject’s right leg, he was called in to see the dentist. I kept the rest of this page blank for as long as I could stand it (I hate wasting paper). The next day, when I was waiting at the pain clinic, there was a man sitting opposite me. […]
Textures at Abandoned Chevy’s
