Did you know that the ovum that went on to become you was quietly resting in your mother's overy when your mother was a fetus inside your grandmothers womb?

If you look deep enough into space, you can see the universe as it was just after the beginning of time.
Before any of this shit happened.

Little Boxes - Pete Seeger
Colored pencil & black sharpie
Los Angeles 2019
One day, a couple of years ago, I was looking around the apartment for something to draw when my eyes landed on three boxes, stacked upon one another, in the corner of our dining area.
So I quickly sketched them in pencil.
It was an OK drawing and I still have it lying around here somewhere but after I had drawn the boxes in pencil I got out my sharpie and redrew them in ink.
The result was nice..

This got me stared drawing boxes. I drew boxes at home. I drew boxes at work. I drew boxes in my moleskine. I drew boxes.
I soon cut the stack down to two boxes because it looked better.

I drew these boxes over and over. Like about thirty times.

Here's why.
When I look at these boxes I always get this erie feeling of...
Time is standing still.
I don't know why, but it gives me tickle.

Miami 2010
I lived in Miami for a few years. I rented a small apartment right on the bay. It was lovely. Iguanas and land crabs used to wander around the yard. Beat that!
Miami has some of the most lovely beaches on earth. I used to hang out at oceanside cafes sipping esspresso coffee and drawing.
Back then my main art tool was the ultra fine black sharpie.
I was into drawing what to me were guilts. Crisp black and white drawings done off the cuff. I drew a bunch of them.
Here's another one.

Time and Entropy

Time and entropy arise mutually like a boat and its wake.
Entropy is fractal which means that time never began.
So relax.

Monrovia 1996
Almost felt you touching me just now Wish I knew which way to turn and go Feel so good, then I feel so bad Wonder what I ought to do
If I could only fly, if I could only fly I'd bid this place goodbye and come and be with you But I can hardly stand, I got no where to run Another sinking sun, one more lonely night

If you look closely at the edge of a black hole it becomes obvious that the entire universe is made of little tiny things.
