My Artwork is inspired by
many topics, sometimes what is left after I make the art evolves into a
written statement of understanding. It's an extension of the
imagery, and at times it can even replace the visual image that I may
want to have created...mostly it's just for fun. I love writing
about things that I find funny, or odd, or moving. I have
categorized the topics, but within each area I may tend to stray.
Here is a generalized topics list...
