One of the things I remember from childhood are the times I would wake up and have my parents tell me we were going to New York City. Once there we would take elevators up to floors on tall buildings. And those buildings always seemed to be filled with art. It wasn't framed the way art would be in a museum. It was everywhere in real life. Elevator doors and the grates that closed behind the doors, heater vents, staircase railings, tile floors, and building facades were filled with this art. And one of the art styles I fell in love with was art deco with its stripes and curves and moderne feel. So it should come as no surprise that when I draw, sometimes there is an echo of deco in my lines and curves. This one could be ceramic tile, or a heater grate in the floor. It could be an elevator door. Sure, there are other places (Miami Florida, Hollywood California) that are still full of art deco, but I was never in them during my childhood. So when I see art deco on a building it puts me in a New York City kind of mood. (file z58e3, #4070405)
