You have a great knack for placement!

I look at your works and the work of other surrealists that I admire, and know I dabble in the baby steps of surreal, but you and the others have this complexity that I envy in your work!

Someday, I'll push harder ;)

Thanks. Actually this one feels kind of awkward to me. Did a bunch of large collages for a show (one of very few shows I've ever had) a the Naropa School of Disembodied Poetics in Boulder maybe 12 years ago. They were a bit rushed and I was a stoned fool while there - even when having lunch with Allen Ginsberg! So I guess I wrote the whole thing off as an embarrassing episode in my messy life. These days I'm a clean and sober fool. More than you wanted to know, I'm sure.

Stoned and lunch with Allen Ginsberg... sounds like a good day ;)

I used to be fun once too, but now I'm a boring old hermit. Suits me
just fine though. I think having a bout of OCD prevents me from taking
on ambitious collage type works. You have no problems whether you
consider this one awkward or not.

and no, not more than I wanted. :hug:

Cut and paste collage was my OCD for years, but I got over it.

Yes well, that's exactly what I started with.
