I had been working on a bigger image since December, and about a week ago I realized it wasn’t good. No good dynamic, no meaning and just no life. So I scrapped it, and made this one in much shorter time instead. Usually, the meaning and symbolism behind a drawing is what drives me to finish it, but this time, there is nothing. It is just mindless, and that is the point of the drawing. The saying to the right is from a poem by Alan Pope in 1711, but it has since then become a spoken word, describing “inexperienced or rash people attempting things that more experienced people avoid.”

Made with water colour pens, a water reservoar pencil and ink.
