Last Ride Rides Again!

My attention surplus disorder has kicked in & I can't stop messing with this. It's not exactly finished but this will have to do for now. Since the image is so tall & skinny, it shows up extra small here, so please click to see the details-- that's really what it's all about. That & the flames... inspired by Chris Buzelli & medieval apocalyptic illuminations.

Acrylic on old dictionary text (definition of "surge") on canvas, 6x12".

Oh, I almost forgot to give my tenuous connection to the topic-- this cowboy's soon to be out of a job!

just pray that he doesn't get you in to a war with Iran before he (mercifully saddles his mountain bike and rides back to Crawford).

"attention surplus disorder" Finally I know what I suffer from, and it's nice to see that some one else dose too! As is par for the course your work is brilliant.

Thanks for the introduction to the work of Dusan Kallay. His work's amazing and I'm looking forward to finding out more about him.
