DRAWINGS: 
  LINES, HATCHINGS, AND SMUDGES


Most of my drawings begin with the germ of an idea followed by frenzied scrawls using any drawing tool I can grab before the vision can dissipate like steam.  If I fail to record the inspirations as they come to me, they're forever lost -- 

-- while my Muse is generous, she has no patience with me.
