Artist's Comments

-This was truly a(nother) labour of love. It doesn't really look like it, but there were several challenging aspects to colouring this peice... -->
-The 1st was the fact that when I drew this in pen, I was thinking about line and shape- not colour. I had to figure out and trying different colours in objects so that as a whole the peice would look unified and well at least be aesthetically pleasing- all in all it took up alot of time.
-The 2nd problem was, being who I am *achem* , I waited 6 months (march to september) to start colouring the peice and since I combined over a 100 different objects and 14 words in this image, remembering them was out of the question, so I had to figure them all out all over again...I swear I practically stood on my head in front of the monitor a few times until I realized I could print a copy of it and just turn it around in front of me... Sometimes I'm definetly not the brightest crown in the pack...
-The 3rd issue was time, between applying to colleges, portfolio reviews, 10 finished peices and 20 sketchbook entrys due every 3 months, getting ready for my showcase show in April I barely had time to work on this since I only have this file on my computer at school. Plus I ended up having like 3 seperate files going at once by some cruel joke of the evil hardrive spirits... and all 3 peices had seperate parts coloured, and for reasons I can no longer remember I couldn't combine all three, so I had to practically start all over....
Anyways I'm not complaining, cuz it was definetly worth it

COMMENTS AND FAVS are GREATLY APPRECIATED

-When I drew the black and white version of this I was really into the images used on 60's record albums and posters, so hopefully you can see the influence it's had on my doodling... Oh by the way, there are over 100 different things/objects and 14 words in this image...

Posters are available for around $15.00 ( -hopefully less, they're about 3' ft. (tall) x 2.5' ft. (wide)- ) by e-mailing me @:

Not sure what to say. It's nuts.

To think logically, God only exists within the context of Himself. If I don't believe in Him, He can not exist. Not because I have any sort of power over reality, but because objective truth ceases to be objective, once one person doubts it. That is th
