Flames

More progress on this one. Further improvisation and experimenting with some different techniques. Really enjoying this process. Perhaps some wet medium is in order...

Here is another sketch that I would like to share. It is a visual organization of the planes of higher thought and being with my own interpretations and symbols.

More progress...

I am working here to create volume and maintaining clarity of line.

As arbiters of creation...

Here is a recent sketch that I wanted to share with you all. My handwriting can be difficult to read at times--especially when I am frantically trying to record a deep train of thought. The text is as follows:

As we learn to extend our reach beyond our physical form, something truly miraculous happens with our understanding of the energy around us.  We find that it is influenced a great deal by our thought--moreso than our physical actions.  We are vessels of projection, and we have the choice to project consciously or unconsciously.  As arbiters of creation, it is our privilege to shape the currents around us.

Crack in Glaze

 Crack in Glaze

Black, heavy stones chained straight to my bones.

This collapse of will--forgotten tongues.

And with hollow-headed whisper, I stir.

Light as they seem--weighted are these words.

Now from miles away, I send my will today.

Broken clasp and crack in glaze.

Take that pendant with your graceful hands.

Feel the current--shifting sands.

The Exemplar

You see, I brought this idea down from the stars.

And even though it burnt my hands,

I've learned to heal the scars.

Oh, the multitudes of ways to exemplify this path.

Though these legs are moving slower,

This mind is working fast.

Culmination of past truths synthesized all into one.

Through waves of thought--elation,

And another path begun.

This poem is very much about the work I have been doing with all levels of my being. It is also about a piece that I will be working on soon under the same title. An "exemplar" is a being that is a prime example of an idea above all others. I am not saying that I am one, but rather taking a long, hard look at what an exemplar truly is and the impact that they can have on reality--both illusion and truth.

New Work in Progress

I started a piece yesterday morning before I went to work. It is my largest drawing yet at 45" x 40". I am excited about this work not only because of the size, but because I am working on cultivating the loose, intuitive style that has been calling to me for some time now. There are many layers of symbolism and iconography at work here, and I won't delve into that just yet. But the drawing operates under the idea that if you do enough digging and working whilst leaving one's self open to intuitions, that truth will eventually emerge.

Here is the first 1.5 hours of progress.
