I love my art collectors. These are people who are not satisfied with just one piece made by me, but keep coming back for more. I don't quite understand them. From the other end of the paintbrush (or screen) all the art I do seems the same, a kind of colorful patterned plastic sheet cut up into separate pieces. But they must want more than one example of it, because they keep buying it. Naturally, I'm not going to stop them. One of my best collectors, who only buys the very good stuff for good prices, bought "Kosmograd," which you saw in my last entry, at Balticon. I am very pleased that it is going to his collection.

Some of the other pictures that you have seen on this Electron were sold as well, including "Trigonometric Earth," the one where the Earth has a Unit Circle inscribed over it. At Balticon I got to meet with my Friendly Mathematicians who told me that I didn't have to go over every bit of trigonometry again before I could return to doing calculus. Well then. I am still trying to find time to do all the things I want to do. I will be working on time management and motivational activity (as well as producing stuff) for the rest of this year.

I find it interesting that people of many different groups like my geometric paintings. Just a hundred years ago, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, such abstract work was considered shockingly avant-garde. It certainly isn't now. In fact, it's sometimes nostalgic, retro-inspired by Art Deco. I have done quite a number of these pieces now, and as I work on designing my new website I'll have a special online gallery just for them.
