Honestly,
Reptiles
Late
in 2005, I became terrified of large art. Anyone who is or has
been an artist will
understand
this fear. To combat it, I undertook a vow to create a series of
the smallest artwork I could then muster, whilst still pertaining
to a classically derived aesthetic. In retrospect I see how incredibly
large the art still is, not nearing the acute details of artists
like Olia
Mishchenko and others. Measuring in at 2.5 by 3.75 inches,
the 40 page book was printed in a self-created run of 50 copies,
including 4 special "blue" copies.
Of that number
only 5 remain, gathering dust on my shelf. Small art, I am told,
ages like cheese; it ages like wine. It is my intent that the next
publication
I essay will be smaller and even more
aged than the former attempts, which are detailed on the
pages that follow.
