It is often said that real security is only an illusion. There is probably some truth to that. My energy level has been ebbing and flowing on an almost daily basis and so I upload this simple sketch I drew yesterday when the pen was flowing. This is a 5 by 4 and one eighth inches drawing on the security pattern from the inside of an envelope I received a bill in. As simple as it is, Original Jones Art feels it is still representative of a certain fellow residing in northwest Austin, Texas.

looks optimistic, even though in ink. hope you're good.

Artist Reply: Yeah, being a simple straightforward sketch, he has the advantage of just being who he is. It's us convoluted humanoids who get it twisted up so often, Nikolay. Hope you and extended family are doing great. :)

Charles ,after you responded on my comment,I looked at this character again,wow he comes comes up as a star in many of your galleries,or should I say a very likeness of him with very little change to each one of them,same guy but always something different about him,that's your Branding about your Very unique artistry that we enjoy looking at,oh,by the way the holes you mention,we are unable to locate these that you speak of,is that just an interpretation ,or is it something that is hidden,as visually I'm unable to see them .,j like this character that you use .,I'm getting familiar with him.Charles,I'm from the Olde School,& I mean it,but we can say we really like your Imagination that you apply on canvas,I wished I would have seen it before,as your artistry is the talk in my circle of Friends that we gather for coffee ,or we did in the restaurants now in our cars in a drive thru,we share our thoughts & I share your works ,we all get a chuckle ,it really makes our day,it's like reading the comic section in the paper,Wonderfully Funny!!!

Holes,?where,I don't see any holes with a bunch of line running through a face going every which way

Artist Reply: The holes, Ray, are just above the head on the left side and were there in the design. But 'every which a way' is a good description of this pattern. Hope you are doing great. :)

Welcome to the artist ensemble that paint on envelopes. scratch pads, bank deposit slips, carboard, and etc....the next phase of your "everyday object art"...is the applicants...now begins the use of motor oil, tar, eyebrow pencils, masquara, powder, chalk, cake colors, and of course the ever popular array of wood stains and animal extracts along with fixative, gloss, acrylic gel medium...oh the list goes on and on...you can improvise as the need arises...

Artist Reply: I remember as a kid using some of Mom's fingernail enamel on a portrait of my brother. He found it and promptly scrawled 'Charles Sux" on the back. I may even have that old thing yet. Yes, whatever is at hand 'as the need arises.' Thanks, Elton. :)

Well the last time this character appeared ,was in your gallery in 2019,then many faces prior,reminds me of a movie I saw years age The Many faces of Dr.Lao,it was a low budget but Big actors in it,not particularly interesting ,but it was time worthy,Again you have him sketched.,interesting what you say about him & your state of Texas.,another one of your characters that you've skillfully Conjured up,Very unique in appearance ,hey Charles ,Fantastic & Fascinating imagination,always in a good meaning,& Amazing artistry.

Artist Reply: I remember that movie as Tony Randall played all seven characters in the circus. Must have been mid-60's. I just found out it was based on a mid-30's novel titled 'The Circus Of Dr. Lao.' I think I was the right age to appreciate and enjoy it. Al, this is just a quick sketch on 'interesting' paper but I'm glad you like it. :)
