I took a tour of the
New York State Capitol building with my friend Stephanie,
taking lots of pictures of the grand building and all its stone carvings.
One picture included Stephanie on a
staircase.
I'm not sure if I thought of it at the time (it's completely possible
that that was the motivation for the picture), but when reviewing it
later, I realized it reminded me of the cover art of Asimov's
Second Foundation
book done by
Michael Whelan.
Specifically, her pose reminded me of how Arkady was standing. Sadly,
she was not looking over her shoulder at the time, but I think it's
still close enough. The thought bounced around in my head a bit,
then I looked up the image and decided it wouldn't be too hard to
replace one with the other. Turns out it was pretty easy (editing
things out in Photoshop is frighteningly simple). And thus we
have today's image.

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random
sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes
just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly
scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also
am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated
it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of
people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title
provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind
if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search
engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.
Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox
properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't.
I don't care.
If you want to see the image without the annoying blue-lined background
image, just click on the image.
