Why it´s tough to be creative and easier not to try it.


Black, white and red

Creative experimenting
I made some sketches and collages today. Tried to combine them to see what happened. This os one of the layouts I did.


Stubborn as ever...
The older I get, the more seldom I see art the really touches me. It´s sad. But even more sad is the fact that I seldom do something myself, that I find extraordinary. But I will proceed. Anyway. Stubborn as ever.
