I am the blueberry that you saw
in that big old spiderweb
I dangle in random absurdity
like some strange poem
you might have read...

My Best Poem

how precious are dreams
that logical themes
quote facts in attempt to deny you
that magical day, when you can say
I believed!
and that's why they ARE true!

Thesis Statement
I like art, I do art,
I do art all the time,
I do alot of art
and when I'm not
sometimes I write a rhyme!

"Love is the answer"
John Lennon

Sleeping Girl with cat pencil sketch by Darren Daz Cox.

This one is a random pencil sketch I did at work today, about an hour and a half completely from my imagination (I was talking on the phone with clients as I drew this).

I could draw more realistically from a model or from a photographic reference but then I would already know what the picture is supposed to be, this picture just evolved from a few lines – magic!

Another random sketch drawn at work, I spent all day on and off working on this. I really enjoy the light and shadow you can get with a simple #2 pencil (I was using a pencil I found on the Keansburg NJ beach actually) on a pretty good quality notebook.

I think that one day I’d like to sketch these figures really huge with charcoal and white chalk to see how far I can push the illusion.
