if-Shiny

A friend put a shiny penny in my mind and I've been chasing it all week.  How many shiny things have I chased or longed for in my life.  How many have I caught?  Did they bring satisfaction? As Mick Jagger might say  "..a no no no....".  Well actually about the first 30 seconds is a burst of joy, then it fades. But maybe the chase is the point.  Or one could just climb off the shiny hamster wheel.

boy this is some visual acrobatics...
Love the Lincoln drawing! ~~and thank god for that angel of sanity there in the back making sure your life (or penny) is well spent...
I agree, the chase is the point. Same in life as in creating art... hopefully we can stay off the hamster wheel long enough to mint new coins for ourselves.


very fun trip, your illustration is.
