These drawings began as preparation sketches for other compositions, but in time, I came to see the drawings as autonomous narratives; raw, but complete in their instinctual making and form. Simply, when I see something of interest on the ground outside the window of an airplane, I grab the most convenient drawing implement (usually a ballpoint pen) and the most convenient thing to draw on (usually a magazine) and I look for the greatest amount of unprinted space on which to execute a representation of what I see. What transpires is a strange meld of glyph and graphic, topography and typography that results in uncanny relationships I could not have otherwise predicted.
