High Q

after a long day of working in new york on a large scale, photorealistic, advertisement painting i ended up in one of my favorite NYC stops. whilst perusing the stacks and shelves of books i happened upon an old book of paintings by an artists that Dali hated, i won't mention any names in order to protect the innocent. the photos were glued into the book in the old fashioned way.. i think they call them plates. thinking to myself, as i often do, i conjured up an idea to use the aforementioned "plates." with a bag full of books i hit the art store for some paper, glue and markers to make my new collages. that night i worked till 3am cutting and assembling the images that would or wouldn't change art history or at least my perspective on the artist that Dali was not applying to be the president of the fan club for. over the next few months i had traveled back and forth from LA to NYC with the project. at long last the finishing strokes of paint and final glued on layers were applied and the works were done. during the last days of the process i thought to myself, as i often do, i should accompany these amazing images with some wordage. not too much writing but just the right amount.. enter my AHAAA moment here.. i'll write haikus! the title is a play on words, as i often do, HIGH Q.. if pronounced in french the "Q" becomes "que" at least it sounds like that. there is also a reference to a high IQ or the IQ of one who is high.. i'll leave that up to you to decipher. enjoy!! t8
