Just like Micro Machines, Micro Mosaics are so super fun...

Creating, making art is something like therapy for some of us. We get on to an idea and want to explore all aspects in hopes of finding better results, better technique and better solutions for a wide audience. Assuming I had any of the latter to speak of. Nonetheless, we charge on, testing or trying things until it breaks, doesn't look right or it just sucks.
In talkig to a friend who wanted me to do a smaller version of the mosaic technique, of course I scoffed and said it couldn't be done. We don't have the technology, it would not look right and of course, the whole "worlds would collide" aspect. After saying it, I now had to make sure all the bullshit I had claimed was correct and of course it was not. So I was able to try doing simple color solutions with paint chips, crap, this thing could work! Maybe layering in some imagery would be cool too... yep, it was. What if I tried doing a simlified composition, double-f-knuckles... that was working too. So I says to myself, what if you could make several of these crazy, micro mosaics and group them together on the wall, or wait.... on a credenza... this is crazy, but it seemed to work for me. (Your results may vary as your opinion on art is unique and my stuff may not hit your awesome button). Now I'm full tilt into this voyage to where no mosaic has gone before. Beam me up Batman.

    Nothing fancy here, just some thoughts and pictures to help understand my state of mind, maybe.
