Oh, it’s nothing really.
Nothing is nothing, everything moves, everything changes, everything is something.
2016 was a colourful year!
The iPad sends feature sets of photos every day. They do a great job. It’s like someone saying “Hey, I love this photos, I love your art!”
I did a lot of sketches (as I call them). The one the algorithm sent stands out from similar efforts at the time. Just the right balance of dark and light.

Itchy pen.
