Elmo
 
2001 - Coloring Book with Crayons

Elmo is a perfect example of what I wanted to do by creating abstract art through coloring books. The feel of the piece should be primal, almost instinctive, like a five-year-old with a box of crayons and no notions of How Things Are Supposed To Be Done.

This is a little drawing/painting/whatever that I enjoyed. I liked having these intersecting lines working against each other; those great childish scribbling of colors, like Elmo on a psychedelic rainbow, conjuring electricity through his fingers.

That's a great explanation; I just happened to think of it while writing this commentary. Feel free to use that.
