Arcadia "Stephanie" Darell   August 31, 2012 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.
