Scenes From a Sketchbook: Volume 2

Recently I took a trip to the doctors office. While patiently waiting (pun intended) in the examination room for the doctor to see me, I couldn't help noticing all my old friends staring back at me. Lined on the walls and set all over the counter tops were all the products that I used to mindlessly put into bins when I used to work at a health supply company. Since the doctor always takes forever, I decided to get out my sketchbook and draw some portraits of my old pals.

Depth Relationships on a 2 Dimensional Surface

It governs everything around us.
It tells us how we see the world.
Even blind people have the ability to see it.
Since it can transcend the eye, everyone can see it differently.
It has a place in art as well as our conscience.
It weighs upon us.
It can shift and change.
It is a master of illusion.
It can be first, second, or third person, or any number of points.
As we grow older we gain more of it.
Sometimes we look to the past to gain a better view of it on our future.
It's the intangible manifestation of one's ideas.
It has laws, but all laws can broken.
But most importantly,
Without it the world as we know it would not exist.

PERSPECTIVE

Perspective is everywhere, it can even change when you put on a cool pair of sunglasses.
