This is really nice, intricate detail. Great work!

I really don't know how you do these... They're fascinating. The lines are all simple individually, yet look so ornate and detailed as a whole, creating textures and even somewhat guiding the eye. In some places, it kind of looks like a amalgam of flowers and fungi, while in other places I almost see some sort of melded pile of insectoid flesh. I would imagine that it's widely open to interpretation given its... rather abstract nature, and I'm sure everyone can see it differently.

You know how it is when your thoughts are racing, well each line is me trying to keep up with the thoughts....it's weird though, because after a while I just
zone out and it becomes meditative. I could paper all my walls in my house with the amount of pictures I have done like this. I started doing them way back
when I was 14 (35 yrs.) and have been doing them ever since, it's obsessive of course, but I feel like if it helps in any way it's ok. Most of these drawings don't have a meaning
behind them, they are just meΒ drawing a line for each second the thoughts are racing, if I can see the lines on paper I feel like I am in control somehow.
I hope that makes sense..LOL.

It actually does make a lot of sense to me. I guess I do the same kind of thing, but through other mediums. I know all too well about that meditative zone. Once I'm in it, I feel like I have limitless inertia just propelling me forward into whatever obsessive task I've given myself. It's usually something very methodical and repetitive. I sometimes just zone out for hours doing a single, monotonous task. And despite the fact that the end result is almost always useless... I still really value those times. I don't know what I get out of them, but the feeling of such profound focus almost gets me high.
