Spark Plug

Small familiar things are fun to draw. This image is very low res, but pencil takes on an interesting texture when it's blown up at high resolution and colored. You begin to see the rough energy where graphite and paper meet.

Road Rage

The article was about Road Rage. It's what we call behavior that would get a two year-old a time out at pre-school, but it's hard to give someone a time-out when they are driving a full-size motor vehicle at high speed. Road rage is a scary, explosive thing, and I tried to capture that. Looking at the art now I see elements of Picasso's Guernica. I don't know whether that was intentional or even conscious. I've read that Picasso was prone to rages of his own but I don't know whether he drove a car. He never had a driver's license. I do know there is a Citroen automobile named after him.
