Those who know me are aware of (and frequently hear me say) that I by no means claim to be an expert at anything. At any rate, on the way home from work one night, I happened upon a thought that has changed the way I view art in general; it may be something that is 'a given' as they say, but to me, well, it was one of them thar epiphanies. That night I wrote:

"There is magic in this world after all. I have felt it all my life, but only now recognize it. Art is sorcery. Artists are magicians. To create something of nothing is not a common trait,; in fact, it is rare, and just as sorcerers are shunned and hunted, so too are artists.

All my life I have wished for magic.

I had only to look in my own hand."

Anyway still continuing my work and more, actual finished things will be posted eventually. Have dozens of unfinished pieces that I'm making an effort to complete into presentable illustrations, so stuff's coming.
