falling curtains of hydrogen


hello,readers...its been a while. just when i think I've never been more busy in my life, it gets busier. i rarely have a free moment to sit down for more than a few minutes anymore-but surprisingly-my stress levels haven't risen all too much. I'm handling it...
I've also found a new job that occupies my weekdays- I'm delivering coffee and squishie machines to different places in NJ, I've learned how to fix the squishie machines, enter into loading docks, and install coffee makers in offices... For the coffee addict- this is a nice job. My delivery vehicle (the trusty buick) constantly smells like coffee. It's great. Plus I get to meet really neat people all the time. One day we had to pick up squishie machines in the schools of Paterson- and I was just in awe of how beautiful the downtown area is. I mean, I grew up on the outskirts of this town since I was 10, and I never remembered too well the downtown, but oh boy. So it inspired me to start taking my camera to work with me since I get sent to all these crazy places in NJ. Ive taken a good # of photos so far-dashboard mounted camera has an interesting angle. Every photo was taken in black and white- somehow new jersey looks better that way sometimes.
So the more I'm out on the road- it;s the time that I am away from my pens and paper. I still have yet to paint anything lately-I am really itching to though...
I sat down recently and took the time to just sit and draw. I was always wondering why I'm just compelled to squiggle every line- It just what comes out of my hands. This and the other ink drawings I have done have always been as it happens. I do not pencil draw anything beforehand. But I'm so in love with this latest piece.
"(falling curtains of) hydrogen". But back to the squiggles- I find that they are almost little pockets of meditation, just a small particle of the Giant Spiral of Everything... The milky way comes to mind when I think of it. They just seem to happen. I like it.
:)
Hopefully I should have that design printed on some sort of fabric goods soon- the fish makes me smile.
:)
take care folks and have a great day*
