About Me
- Name: wingman
- Location: United States
I like anything that flies and most other things that move or move me in three dimensions. I like sports that involve the burning of fossil fuels. I don't like sports that involve balls. I enjoy beauty and make attempts to create some. I am deeply moved by subtlety and symbol. But I also like being a tough, outdoors guy. I adore women but don't understand them. I don't throw stuff away, I fix it. I admire simple and strong design but am often seduced by the complex. I'm a renaissance man wanna-be.

Life. You can't see what is down the way, and it seems really long and it would be tedious and tiring to get from one slab to the next, certainly concerned about not falling in that water, and yet the entire picture is gorgeous, lures me there, and I will go there and stay there for a long period of time because the One who created my life picture will make provisions for me to see and feel secure and beautiful. I want to be a part of this picture.
Often it seems the Artist uses ugly colors and knarly, uncomfortable brushes to apply them on a canvas that is boringly ordinary and often flawed. And it seems there is no order or strategy to the progression. Viewings of the progress as a layer is left to dry can be bland or even revolting. Sometimes when the Artist seems to have lost interest and abandoned the project, someone attempts to fix the problems he sees, and some even intentially vandalize. But the Artist has techniques to fix these intrusions and even incorporate them into beautiful design. And then, at just the right time and from just the right angle, the intended purpose becomes obvious and all can be seen to be aligned arrow straight to the result. Each choice from the pallet and each stroke of application can be seen to be intentional in order to bring to fruition the beauty that was in the soul of the Artist from before the work ever began.
And sometimes the beauty was there all along, just waiting to be discovered.
