Fabriano Down Under: Book #5

PAGE 20

I'm a pretty strange fellow. I don't think my mind works the same as others. I think about things and those thoughts culminate in the presentation of an image within my mind. This is an example.

We all wear masks. I oscillate between all kinds of emotions throughout the day. I feel like as I peel one another appears but I never really get to just be the true me without a mask.

Or worse yet, have I grown so attached to my masks that I've discarded the true me?

And then BANG! There's this image in my mind.

Fortunately, God gave me a gift that allows me to transfer it from inside for all to see. I'm not sure that's a good thing sometimes.

I've been trying to decide what to draw for my friend Hobie. I've presented this as a possible alternative. If it become more than a small sketch, I'll link it here.

Update: This drawing was indeed created for Hobie. A scan of it is in my "Unbound Works" portfolio. Click the extra info button above to take a look at "version 2."
