Black Lines In a White World is available!

Black Lines In a White World is a collection of black and white images I've done from the past 10 or so years. The idea was to present a book similar to a sketchbook but not literally. There aren't any bodies of text because I wanted to give the viewer a display of my imagination. It is always more fun to understand what a work could be rather than divulge the information directly for the viewer's consumption. An artist could always create and have it mean something to them. However, when an observer or critic analyzes a work, it takes on new life. It is one of the most democratic aspects of art - free interpretation. There could be wars fought over the meanings of paintings. I'm kidding. That would be silly... or not?

Some of the images are sketches of paintings, potential works of art, and manipulated digital images. I hope you find enjoyment in my work as much as I did creating them.

This is the first in a series of books I want to present to the public. Modern technology and the Web enable artists like me to promote my artwork without any representation. A grassroots method if you will. This book was a lot of fun to put together and I look forward to creating the next one, which will be a book about my paintings in 2009.
