More More More

I drew this crazy eyed creation thinking about all the stuff we just have to buy to make our lives better and the way we sometimes feel trapped by our lives.

I was talking to retail employees that never got to eat dinner with their families because they had to be at work by 4pm to open the doors for the selling frenzy at 6pm...that's just not fair.

This was created for a show called More.  I made the words red, white, and blue to symbolize the colors of our flag...we as Americans are always looking for more - more possessions, more wealth, more toys, just more, more more...

I had no intentions as usual, and what should appear - a piano with a spiraling staircase. 

Never know what will come out of my pen when I get

 Lost In Art...

I came across an old deserted building in my travels (after the car got a checkup at the car doctor) and thought it would be a cool place to take some photographs one of these days.  

Fast forward several hours later when I came home I found this article in my news feed and it got me to wondering if we would get in trouble painting old deserted buildings.
