"Polychromos" - Multiple colours, is an easy moniker to describe a certain type of work I do, which involves blank sheets of paper overlain with colours in lines and fields to produce a 'design.' While other work may fall into this description, the main distinction in this category is that paper is generally letter size or A4, and the work is done with pens--generally in a cafe or other oublic gathering place.
How to use this page: The images on the left each refer to a sub-index of this category page--and should link to another page which will itself be comprised of 16 'thumbnails' of the work being presented. Clicking on any thumbnail should bring a tertiary page with a viewable-size image and some narrative providing details about the image.
The top of every page will retain the navigation bar, allowing for easy movement across the site--anytime you want to start over, just click "zigzagzilla"
