1. Foot Fetish No. 4, is contrasted very well, with the ink wash applications. It builds up suspense, in the series. I remember working on this, while visiting my parents, for a special gathering. When there was an occasional moment, of sitting around, discussing random subjects, I decided to steal some time, and worked on it briefly.

2. Foot Fetish No. 5, is one of my favorites in this series. He imagines, having a chance to engage with the man's feet. It would be a fantasy, finally coming true. The desire becomes so intense, he develops an erection, while watching him walking into his home. My partner at the time of this production, stood over me, to see what I was working on and he suddenly laughed.

3. Foot Fetish No. 6, is my favorite drawing, in this series! It is also one of my favorite drawings, that I have ever created! I was very satisfied, with the way this piece turned out. It was not something, I expected to be so pleasing. But, when one draws a subject they love, it causes them to give a certain amount of time and effort, when creating it. The sense of delight, and perhaps laughter on the man's face satisfies my senses, as a viewer, of this finished work. It expresses an " You got me! " experience.

4. There was a story I heard on the radio, during hurricane Katrina's peak. It inspired Hurricane Katrina No. 3. A reporter explained how a man struggled to stay on a rooftop, with his family. His wife could barely hang on, before suddenly being washed away. The man was with their children, as he instantly lost his wife. He was hysterical, when they interviewed him, shortly, after the tragic incident. he explained how he struggled to help her stay with him. And he was questioned about, whether he knew where she was. And he emotionally responded " Can't find her body! Her (she) gone! "

5. I imagined all of the bodies that drowned, and floated away into various areas of high water. And those that were lost and never found. I created Hurricane Katrina No. 4, in memorial of such horror.
