Awhile back, i came across the concept of trees as ideas and it seems to have stuck with me since...when i lived in BC, there was (and still are) forests all over the place with the most dense greenery i've yet to encounter, and the oldest trees i've ever seen...we spent alot of time in the woods and every so often we'd come across two trees growing off each other...in some cases they seemed to benefiting from the exchange, but in others one was clearly the victor, parasitically feeding and growing while the other fell into decay...i thought alot about that while i was working on this piece, how once certain concepts and thoughts are planted, there's now way to get rid of them, and how certain ideas, ones that you may not benefit from quite so much, can get so deeply rooted in your mind and start to somewhat take over...whereas with others there's usually a rather happy relationship...i really think too much... 
My Moleskine got somewhat wrinkled when we got caught in New York's torrential downpours, so i almost killed my hand trying to get this to scan evenly, but it turned out alright...Jean Fhillipe had this idea to do a two-page spread a day, just spending half an hour on each, to see what would happen...though i have no clue how long i'll stick with it, this one did turn out quite nice, a simple rough sketch of the boy with wings for arms...i believe Mitch Malloy will be attempting it as well, so we'll see how it goes..."We thought we lost you...we thought we lost you...we thought we lost you...welcome back." - Adventures In Solitude, The New Pornographers

Was it rainy in New York? I heard Heat Wave.
Love them both. Boy With Wings For Arms looks great with some motion to him; it underlines his earth/air duality. Well done.
i have no clue how to reply to comments...urgh...hopefully this works...
well, rainy/heat wave always apparently, though i heard 10 people got hit by lightning in a storm on one of the islands, which is pretty ridiculous...
and thank you as always!
