"Speaking Music"...  Words only have as much validity as they are given: there is a manifested sense of existence vs. real-world existence. In other terms, words are only a symbolical representation therefore they have no material identity. There is no absolute definition in language which causes misinterpretations, isolation, etc. I tried to convey that in this print by drawing as beautiful of a drawing that I could and then ruining it with language. You have to be able to explain yourself in the art world, though sometimes it is impossible to convey your true message. Sometimes words only take away from the intended concept....see....even that sounds kinda confusing...
The Waterbear lithograph. This little thing has some enduring skill. They are going to be the first animal  directly exposed to space unprotected. Also known as tardigrades, they are natures greatest survivors.



Copy and paste the link at the top. I did this print after watching a show on grey whales on the discovery channel.
I'm drawn to elephants for the mere fact that they form very tight family bonds, and without my family I wouldn't have had the choice to pursue what I have.
