I know, I know. It's been too long. I haven't dropped off of the face of the Earth, I've just been busy with non-art (read, not cool) work and it's been hard to carve out the necessary time. That means for  twenty minutes here or a thirty minutes there I've been scratching my visual art-creation itch through sketching. Below are a few of the pieces from my sketchbook.

Fences

To be what no one ever was,
To be what everyone has been:
Freedom is the mean of those
Extremes that fence all effort in.
