With these new creations I've taken what I call "tiles" and stacked them, scattered them and tried to create a sense of being "broken". I've also completed two different pieces (one in the Paper Series and one in the Black and White Series.

| Hello Everyone!
Finally, I have finished Little Boy Blue , which can now be found in the Sweet Art Collection gallery. Yay! I'm really happy with him, and needless to say, I think he is very cute. ;) I also included Goldilocks (posed as Little Bo Peep) in the illustration.

Hello, I am still here. I am sorry to be away for so long. Like most of you working stiff, I just got busy and If you know me, computer time isn't my thing. So those two things and much more added to my neglect of the blog.

My Artistic Process
By Duane Kirby Jensen
As An Artist…
I am the voyeur who captures people's inner moments, those quiet times when they do not believe that anyone is watching. I strip away the mask to see their inner soul. I want to touch each of the emotions, which reside there. To feel the turmoil, understand the agony, loose myself within...

| So I recently moved into a new space for making artwork. It feels good to have one again after being without for 4 months. Today while I was there I finally finished up a painting I started back at my old space. The state of mind you are put in after finishing a piece really is grand. Now, if I could only remember the title I came up with for the damn thing...
