Perfect Completed on August 7, 1998 Hearing my own thoughts on the previous image, luck, makes me wonder if this really is perfect or not. Sure, it looks good, and I was impressed with it when it popped out of my pencil one day. But is that all a work of art needs to cross that line? I remember thinking a very simple thought when I'd completed this - it looks good, and that's enough reason to enjoy it as any other. Sure, it might not have some deep cosmic significance, but what does it matter? The only people who need to have some sort of deep significance in every piece of art they see are the ones who can't remember you don't need that in order to be entertained. As time went on, I found myself thinking in circles like this quite a bit. I realized that through drawing and thinking about what I'd drawn, I would come back to a point I'd made when I started drawing, or perhaps even before. It was all a very enlightening experience, to see my own thoughts, and then to see the mindset that returned me to my original thought, and then the mindset that put me into that mindset; sort of like a multiple-lock vault, being opened from the inside out...
