Another older drawing. This one is from 2005. It's a gel pen drawing on medium bond acid-free paper, measuring 4.5 by 3 inches. Original Jones Art is looking back here in northwest Austin, Texas.

This type of drawing could not be drawn better by 3 or even 4 hands. 2 minds working together would only decrease it's focus and sharpness. This was not painted by hand. A mind so wide yet sharp held both hands and drawing (absence of image=freedom+image of it=phantasy+the process) and is only limited by time and passion. When I fled war as a child I lost a home and all language, senses suffered, soul expanded in(to) feeling more painfully, understanding lost meaning of hearing words sound in - actually it drowned in all possible meanings, so seeing soaked up all it could while the unheard learned to understand silence. A painting of this type can never be drawn again. Not by you, not by anyone ever copied. Once you finished it, you moved up. Do not try to paint this type again. Try to draw not this type. The opposite type would be as devastatingly brilliant, the close type would be masterfully harmonic, the inbetween type could only hold both worlds together. What I wanted to say is: drawing is not a skill, I could spend 8 hours drawing the Louvre and not find out that I can only draw what I can see. Because I try to draw. A master learns from drawing by drawing what can be drawn before he can see it - we call it creating. If you know how it can be drawn then you miss the moment of catching how it could be drawn.

Incredible depth. Can it be that less colors/B&W show more complexity and possible object-variations than colorful pieces? One can truly dive into the piece and find or "draw" it in mind however or what one can find. Fabulous

Artist Reply: Thank you, Velibor! It depends on the mind behind the eyes, I think. Some can spend a day at the Louvre and see nothing. Unfortunately, damage to my left arm and hand has made this type of drawing difficult if not impossible for yours truly. Thank you for a great comment and I hope you are doing well. :)

A lot of intrigue here Charles .... really like your gel pen work : ) Hope all is well out your way

Charles Jones
Artist Reply: Well, it's sunny here and not cold---just cool. And I've been busy doing some 3D work and getting some of my music gear together so maybe I can do some of my 'strange' recordings again. These modern DAWs drive me to distraction though. Much more convoluted than necessary for my simple MIDI needs.. Oh well. I wish I had my old Atari ST system back. The right tool for the job---at least in late 80's. Hope all is good with you as well. :)

It's always fun to look into the roots. Nice stuff. Looks like you had a few fights with "excessive" details on your way.

Charles Jones
Artist Reply: As I started with absent-minded doodles, Nikolay, I had to work through the minutiae and find something a bit more concrete and workable. This is why, looking back at 2003 through 5, I only found what I consider fragments now. There were a few exceptions, but a very few. Hope you are doing great, my long distance friend. :)
