“And you are not you – you have no body, no blood, no bones, you are but a thought. I myself have no existence; I am but a dream – your dream, creature of your imagination. In a moment you will have realized this, then you will banish me from your visions and I shall dissolve into the nothingness out of which you made me… I am perishing already – I am failing – I am passing away. In a little while you will be alone in shoreless space, to wander its limitless solitudes without friend or comrade forever – for you will remain a thought, the only existent thought, and by your nature inextinguishable, indestructible. But I, your poor servant, have revealed you to yourself and set you free. Dream other dreams, and better!”

~ From Mark Twain's 'The Mysterious Stranger'

Art?

ZOMG! Can it be true? I actually did some artwork?
Well, sorta...



So this was a collaborative work between myself and the artist Amado Pena (http://www.penagallery.com/). I was lucky enough to be sitting to his left when (after 20 minutes) he had everyone in the seminar I was working at to pass thier work to the RIGHT. ZOMFGWHAT? He looked at the design I made (pencil sketch) and said... "I don't know anything about sea turtles," making my heart drop into my stomach. I already had the entire composition planned out and here he was gonna SCREW WITH IT? An hour later (of very determinedly NOT looking at what he was doing to my piece) he hands it back and says... "I hope it's okay." He had done the ENTIRE background. Now, originally this was going to be an experimentation of blues and greens without any other colors... but I think he just blew this one apart. I would never have thought to of use reds, yellows and whites to make the blues and greens pop the way he did. Shows what I know huh? XD

Anyway, just wanted to share...
