This was an experiment with the "New Cubism." One of the 'nifty' tricks in videography was the pixelize feature, of which I tried to recreate. Imagine a small point on the Coke® can, and then get closer, blow it up, and get closer. Make every dot a block, and get closer still.

This was the original idea, to show the 'Many Faces' of Coke®. I tried to display a collage, as if someone had taken several pictures of the can, from top to bottom, with different formats and had haphazardly laid them out.

Here's another Cubism. It's really my half-assed attempt at it. Picasso and 'that-other-guy' were slightly better at it. When I was drawing this one, it took me back to my youth (har-har). There use to be a picture hanging in the living room, of a small town surrounded by a wall, and it was slightly cubed.

These were my first 'Daisies.' I don't remember how it came about. The daisy is easy to draw, I guess. The little guy at the bottom is the Crazy Daisy, created before MTV's. Many of the 'houseguests' loved it.

I love this one. Half of anything I do is inspired, and believe it or not, but Rolling Stone® and a book are to blame for this piece. It was a review in that magazine, showing the cover art, that I found quirky enough to do this weird homage to that artist and to pulp. It took about a day to sketch the idea, and several years to ink and color it. (Long, drawn out spontaneity).

Everyday I thank Dave Sim. Without going into a great speil, this was an official attempt to get published. Dave Sim was accepting one single piece in comic format; one if his many attempts to get everybody involved in Gonzo comics. Unfortunately, it never made it to the presses.

This is a study in Manga art. Can you guess which artist and comic I was ripping? Probably the best, in my opinion. I love Manga. It's clean, and neat. (The one girl at top/left is original).
