It's been a while, but I've finally finished my next piece. Man this one took forever!

Total time on this baby took 4 months in multiple stages, I'll get to the stages later.

The idea started with my last piece, stained glass, which is when I had decided I wanted to try to make a piece with Sharpies (You know, the permanent marker).  I didn't know what I wanted to do for about a month, I just knew I wanted to combine Sharpie and paint to make something different.

I thought it would be cool to include a message into a complex theme with something we see everyday.  The theme was a sort of "trybrid".

• QR Code - I messed up here, after I measured, I realized that I made a rectangle instead of a square, it was too late, but I guess one could call it abstract? Oh ya, plus the 4th bordered square,
• Part of me wanted to do this because I have seen some other pretty cool designs with QR Codes, and the other part of me because, it somewhat relates to what I do at work.  I also though it would look cool on the wall.   

• The Message - "We Are Good People", was inspired from my other, I guess, non-abstract, half of me.  
• I mix some ideas of work into my art a bit.  This one was inspired by:
• All the people around my are really GOOD PEOPLE - you know, the kind you would intro to Mom and Dad.
• The Creative in me- I am a creative and allowed to be at work.  Allowing creativity in the workplace helps me with ideas outside of the work place.
• Knowing I would be allowed to hang it up in Headquarters

• Tribal Doodling - I'm still not really sure where this idea came from, all I know, is that I thought it would look cool.
