Commentary on A Drive through Scottsville
Driving through a small town may be the usual, ho-hum experience for many people. But driving through that small town may offer more to a person visually in the experience. Not only because of what is there on all sides, but also the person as the center of that activity.
Notably, the driver is a part of the scene as well rather than isolated from it. Instead of thinking of the perception as a looking out onto a stage, a person is tied in with the environment in which s/he travels.
This drawing won a juror's award at a Fall 2011 art show.

Commentary on Ego Trip
This was my entry for The Shoe Factory Art Co-op's show, "The Naked Self." Artists were to portray their naked self, however that may be construed literally or metaphorically.
I was not sure the jurors would accept this drawing since I only exposed my face and feet, but they thought it was appropriate and I'm glad to have a drawing in their show (http://www.shoefactoryarts.com/).
As you can see from my submission, I took it in a metaphorical manner. I recognize the mast may be a phallic symbol, but it's only a mast.
Consider, rather, that unlike the mastheads of past ships, the boat-man here faces inward. Also, this is a person who creates his own wind in order to direct his sail without external help. Additionally, the boat-man does so on a continuous loop that does not go anywhere.
That may be quite the ego trip.
