And it's hard to title abstract stuff, right? Well for the first time, the title of one of my paintings told me what my painting was about...

It's been about 5 years since the last time I participated in a Shoe Shine event... I was indecisive on the visual content I wanted to create, I started with paint and texture, but I ended up with a paper collage. All of the paper I used consists of ad posters and security envelopes.

It was sort of like live painting at events, with people all around asking you what you're doing or telling stories of their art experiences, but it's different.
