To be honest, this is just a glorified doodle. It’s a big one, but when I started, I had no idea what it was going to be.

And…I’m still not quite sure. This started out as a me goofing around with straight edges, protracters, flexible curves and pencils, and then when I started using pastel crayons on it about a week after I tossed it on top of the slush pile, it sort of came to life.

What kind of life is something I haven’t quite figured out. I basically just used the oil pastel crayons that I hadn’t worn down yet, and decided to futz around with it for a few days.

It actually reminds me of some of my older digital abstracts, only it’s not digital. It might look like AI art to some folks (heaven forbid—I don’t mess around with that stuff), but it’s all just me.

That didn’t stop me from using a pun as the name, though.
