Of course, there are a lot of types of curiosity out there. The rubberneckers at accidents probably won't be confused with those possessing intellectual curiosity, for instance. My last Instacart order from Dollar Tree netted me the Jumbo Scribble Pad with 60 sheets of ultra-lightweight paper of a slightly grayish tint. Cutting it in half gave me a 9 by 6 inches slice of paper. Instead of my usual gel pen, I picked up a Le Pen by Marvy with its ultra-fine point plastic tip. They use a dye-based ink. I figured a few scribbles on a cheap scribble pad wouldn't do any harm. I immediately noticed the wherever I paused the pen in use, a tiny pool of ink gathered. I used this as something of an effect here. Original Jones Art, still up for cheap thrills, in northwest Austin, Texas.

Curiosity killed the cat Charles, be careful my friend, there things out there that should best left alone ;D love the portrait

Artist Reply: Moderation in all things is a great maxim to live by, Ray. If folks could hold their desires and demons in check, our prisons would be almost empty and the trash news mongrels would starve to death. A person is either a master or a slave. Pity most of us can't grasp that fact with both hands. Hope you are doing GREAT, BTW. :)

Nice. Almost similar to the Warhol blot drawing technique. Cool effect : )

Artist Reply: Hmm. I guess it might have a similar look, Dave, but I've never given Andy a passing grade in spontaneity myself. But I will say one's control of the small pooling is somewhat hit or miss. It got me out of my 'control freak' mode a little. It's almost like 'fill in the dots' in reverse. Hope all is good with you. :)
