Abstract mixed media. Copyright: Hilton Harris 2004. Another piece that I drew a couple of months ago. I used what markers I had and then finished the work, adding more colors with Microsoft Paint. The shaped interact to the point where the colors begin to edge up against themselves and the design is lost if you don't have enough colors. Of course the design is what's important. It doesn't really matter what colors you use as long as they make each portion of the design stand out. A lot of my art teachers in school and other people that have viewed my work comment that it is too busy (hence the name of this piece). However, if I try to create designs that are less busy I'm never happy with the result. An abstract piece has to have something about it that makes it interesting to look at. My pieces pull your eye here and there. They force you to keep roaming around. They force your eye and your mind to move. That movement becomes part of the intricacy of the piece it's self.

time to take out the trash. Today our manager was shown the door. We all cpplaed. It was like a breath of fresh air. The first thing employees started doing is ripping down the maps that this numbskull had been working on for the last year. We decided to mail it to his home so he has something to read while on the unemployment line. I wish every employee who has suffered under these insane policies to feel the liberation of having their managers shown the door.judit dora 12 Jul 2008

I usually like more traditional paintings & drawings (i.e. withouth the computer aided touch up), but this is very nicely executed. Ric Strange said I should check you out specifically for your pallette--I don't think I would agree with your comment that it doesn't really matter what colors you use--whether you are intending to or not, your color is well balanced and fits the energy of the design perfectly. Though this is a busy drawing, you have some well placed curvilienear shapes that contrast well with the straight(er) lines and provide the needed resting points to keep me as a viewer engaged. Well done!Andree Lerat 11 Sep 2004
Looks a lot like nature. When I hike in the woods I feel the environment more than I see it. It is sort of an abstract feeling. Of course, sometimes something grabs the attention such as the darkers center lower left shape which pulls the whole piece together.William Boyer 11 Sep 2004
another bright piece of work, great job.Bill Corbett 11 Sep 2004
