Rice Paper and Free Friday

Sometimes a drawing takes so long to complete that you forget the inspiration or even the intent of the drawing. I think this was meant to be a background for another drawing, but it took on a life of its own.

While drawing tiny grains of rice on paper for hours, I thought back to an older neighborhood kid who would spend hours drawing mazes in a spiral notebook. I remember being in awe of his concentration.

This isn't a maze, but I spent hours drawing it. I really like it, but Sarah thinks I'm crazy.

Also, tomorrow will be the first ever "Free Friday" on the blog. I'm going to start the tradition of releasing a piece of vector art into the wild for unrestricted use. Get your cages ready.
