Just picked up a SurfacePro with the intent of using it for illustration work and so far I’m really loving it. I’ll keep posting my progress and experience with the device.
A Waking Vision
December 22nd, 2012
A lone figure floating in space sitting in meditation upon an asteroid.
Deep in contemplation and peace when from the darkness of space a sun bursts before him showering him in light.
He does not feign nor fret but slowly opens his eyes to see before him the sun like burst of light assume the shape of a man.
The figure then transforms into an oceanic wave of water which encompasses the unwavering man on the rock in space.
He hears in his mind, “Though I assume the form of fire, I am also that of water…” the voice trails as the figure assumes the form of earth and mountain,”…I am also that of earth…” and it continues as it transforms into the deepest of blue skies and clouds,”…I am also all that you breathe in every breath…” and the transformation continues as the figure transforms into the darkness of space filled with the density of infinite stars and a final transmission is uttered,”…and though I am all of these things and more I am also within you,” and the figure transforms into a single dot of light which enters the meditating mans mind between his eyes.
The man on the rock floating in space smiles and slowly opens his eyes. He lets out a deep exhale and bursts into a cloud of particles which spread out at light speed in every direction throughout the universe. As the cloud dissipates and the blackness of space returns a small dot of light can be seen. As if by magic, the dot of light instantly transforms into a planet of water, earth and air teeming with life.
I open my eyes. Awake.

In the spirit of Duchamp
November 23rd, 2012
Meaningless verse vaporized within hypocratic oaths taken in secret and without valor. The world wishes and pushes in instances of certainty as if heard from within whispers of hysteria.
Her eyes became the shadows of the sun, her arms outstretched to become the horizon of the infinite. Behold on this night of splendor the wonder and joy manifesting within.
Do not fear the beast
Do not the angels
Do not fear the doubt
Do not fear the certainty
For they all manifest
Manifest from the same source
Identical and fluid only requiring focus to transform into the illuminable manifestation of being.
Still her heart
Still his mind
Become
within the silence of the whisper.
