Every day I have a billion things to do....or is it that I have a billion things to do and I just do as much of it as I can every day? Anyway, I was reading the morning paper and I came across an image which somehow grabbed me and made me look and look again. The squares, the color, the divisions...I saw beautiful geometric form, and thought I needed to explore this and create a piece of art.
Normally I would have torn out the image and kept it on my desk and put it on my list of things to do. Then eventually it may have turned out to be not so important to do as I have so many other apparently important things to get done. And Like a dream that was relevant and fantastic when you first woke up and eventually fades into nothing as you go through your day. But this time, I said, "Look Robert, you know it's not going to take you long to do it in Illustrator, so just do it now! Besides, you've been procrastinating on your real work all week now anyways, so here's your spot." That's what I said. And this is what turned out. (above) I was pretty excited about it. Hope you like it too.
