Somewhere, up there...

To be honest, I have no idea what is going to happen when I sit down to sketch... sometimes it doesn't work... sometimes it does. And sometimes it flirts with a notion that leads to a place I wouldn't have gone unless I had started the creative process in the first place. Your imagination is only as powerful as a few images. By writing, sketching, or painting; I think you make room for the new, fresh ideas to pour in. So get your stuff out on paper, or you will churn over the same old ideas indefinitely.

Here is what I hope to be the beginning of the upper apartments of my Middle Eastern Alleyway, at least in the sense of scale and form.
