KRRRL

Krrrl, your blogger, has been experimenting widely. I received his sculpture collaboration with Daniel Hornung from Metalphysic foundry in Tucson. I emailed one of his small newsprint figure drawings to China, and received a painting. I also have been experimenting with online AI programs, that alter my drawings. All these projects started from one of the drawings in his self-published book -- "Finish My Figure Drawings."
