I see Eureka in an atmosphere unlike the surrounding area. To illustrate this I put it under water. I replaced the clouds with lily pads like the ones at Lake Leatherwood. A largemouth bass acts as our mass transportation or Bass Transportation as I see it. The fish behind the bass represents Eureka Time. It’s a Bluegill with more color. These fish are known for mixed breeding causing natural hybrids. Note the Christ of the Ozarks needs his own air supply. Read into that as you wish. I also put a fair amount of plant life in it to represent our Tree City status. I think the whole piece conveys the creative nature of Eureka.
  Technical info: This represents my newest style. It starts with a drawing that gets a basic inking. Then I color it with mostly watercolors. After that it gets a finished ink job. I do this a little different than my normal work because I know I’m going to finish it in the computer and I know how it need to look to work right. Using the digital medium I begin to really bring it together. I even do some of the drawing using the computer. When I’m finish, like all artist I sign my work. In this case I did it using my Entous4 drawing pad. So I guess this is a hybrid of two disciplines. The old and the new working together to make something great just like Eureka Springs.
