This drawing was featured in the "Art of Horror" exhibition at the Altered Esthetics Gallery, Minneapolis. Here is my statement as appeared in the book of artists' statements for that exhibition.
-----

The motivation for creating this piece was quite simple: I was bored stiff. There are only so many times that one is able to listen to a comatose electrical-engineering professor explain how to draw a 4-variable K-map before one does one of two things:

1. Fly off the handle and start shrieking at him, "Can't you start talking about PALs instead?"

2. Think about something else for a change.

I, opting for the latter, scribbled this pencil sketch on a piece of my note-paper while the lecture dragged on.

The comatose professor having shown me that electrical-engineering was quite definitely not my thing, I switched to computer-science; and it was while studying this that I became aware of the existence of certain graphics-manipulation programs that did not cost several arms with Godzilla's foot-paw thrown in to cover the sales-tax. Scanning the pencil-sketch, I proceeded to colorize and otherwise manipulate it, bringing it into the form herein shown.
