so i'm not sure why i chose to use the colors i did for this drawing, and though i made a few different versions in other color ranges, nothing really appealed to me. frankly, i don't really like this drawing, i do like what became of it. my eye in constantly focusing on the 3 lines that run off the edge on the upper right side and then the bottom areas and their small, narrow spaces.
i cropped it and flipped and reproduced it with taking away most of the color and continued repeating those things until i came up with a variety of layers that include or exclude color. transparency plays a huge role in giving the piece depth and filling in the gaps, so to speak. 
i don't really have a story fro this piece, however, the image on the right side is reminescent of a boy or a soldier. having 2 boys and the imminent possibility that one day they may decide to become soldiers is a thought that chills me to the bone.
or maybe, and most likely, it's simply the incessant argument-conversation with z about the necessity of his wearing a helmet when he skateboards....i doubt he'll become a soldier, he's way too argumentative and stubborn - even for a 3 yr old (i mean "almost 4 yr old"). d will do whatever his brother does so, hence the ongoing argument-conversation.
