Elton! What have you been up to while i've been away???!!! It's an intricate and exciting floor plan, but i think we can take it...you bring the water pistols, i'll bring the tights! ;)
Artist Reply: Thank you Alberto...I think you are one of very few who can accept this bare- bones art...and I understand most think it is a fraud...an artist trying to be lazy and pass off his scrathes as art...but I find it refreshing to do this type of art occasionally..it shores up the creative spark.
