These past 2 weeks have been a hazy mist of different styles and stories.....visiting old themes and inventing new ones....
total ART-BLAST!
fun but tiring....

this next batch i owe to a certain gentleman who will remain nameless for now....
this upstanding good citizen provided the surfaces upon which
i had the following art riot....

This next batch below are BooBen and Ken collaborations
kind of....
Ben takes his scraps and applies them to the board
however he wants!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!
and then it's the challenge of taking these areas that pop off the surface and to integrate them into a design that can be viewed from both the front and side!
like 3-d man!
gotta admire all those sculptors out there
most painters are just used to 2-d
Well anyway, it's like a mental chess game where you both win!
YAY!
Well, here they are....
i am providing an additional shot of each to show you the dimensionality,maaaaan!
groooooovy.
