Comments: This work began like a number of the "irregular shape series," in that I began by just drawing a series of very irregular, whimsical shapes. After I had drawn them I began looking at them much as one might try to see things in the shapes of clouds. Lead purely by a fanciful imagination I began adding eyes and mouths to the shapes turning them into little cartoon characters. I did something similar on several drawings and thought of some of them as little ghost or spirits because so many of them seemed like half formed apparitions. (I should probably make more of these because they are the most purely fun of any series of images I have made.)
