I star­ted on Desert­Ma­naht­tan last Sep­tem­ber. I finally finished it ear­lier this eve­ning, around mid­night.
Yeah, it took a a long time to finish. Well, I was a busy fellow, after all, doing lots of other stuff.
I could have wor­ked on it fore­ver, howe­ver like the old art school adage goes, pain­tings are never finished; they are ended. It was time.
Thanks to every­body who follo­wed me along on this pro­ject, encou­ra­ging me all the way. It’s been quite a jour­ney. Rock on.
