It being a new year, I will, as I believe I promised a while back, post some new material this month.

The background in Locke's universe-inside-the-couch isn't meant to look like anything specific. I was going for the type of abstract, playful surreality found in the Beatles' cartoon movie, "Yellow Submarine." I don't think I quite got there. (I've also always had a thing for arrows and for things that are either checkered or spotted, as almost any college art project I ever did will demonstrate.)
