Okay, I’ve never been to NYC or seen a Broadway play, but I was thinking of a scene after rain, neon reflected on wet road and maybe a playbill plastered to the ground. Sometimes there’s a little rhyme, even when there’s no reason.

Some colored ink work. A bit of the whimsical side. Why a cyborg, you must be wondering? Well, it has to do with the interface of natural and the manmade, mechanical and organic — and if you look for the two orange eyes, you can see the sky through its mouth.

I imagine after climbing until he was totally worn out, Jack rested in the beanstalk and it looked something like this. He just about went back down and would never have discovered the giant or the singing harp or the goose that layed the golden eggs.

I am not a very accomplished artist in drawing or painting, but I’ve found that even my lame attempts at painting provide a rich bounty of details which can be scanned and used for textures and brushstrokes. My art teacher would set up a still-life as an assignment and I’d keep painting over it again and again until it no longer resembled the “objects” thus defeating his ability to judge it in comparison with the still-life or the work of other students. If I frustrated my teacher, imagine how frustrated I was. Whenever I would show him something I drew and asked for technical help in making my “vision” stronger, he would direct me back to the still-life. Well, now there’s digital photography for that. If I need an apple, I will take a photo of one. If I need the steel structure of a bridge, I can do the still-life with camera. I still enjoy sketching with ink and hope to do more painting soon.
