I always loved comics. They were one of the few things I sometimes "wasted" money on as a teenager. Back then I dreamed that I could create a "Lord of the Rings" comic strip (but of course the movie makers outdid me in every way). So I occasionally settle on creating abstract comics... just for fun

I believe I promised you some Op Art, and I haven't really delivered on that.

So here's a sneak peak at Rivers II...
