log with head band and wrist bands

Ink and watercolour on paper, 5x7 inches. The original is SOLD available in the shop.

Thoughts about caption writing:

I considered putting "log, ready for a workout" on this one, but it seemed a bit too jokey for me. You're too smart for that.

I prefer to attempt to be more subtle (although I know I don't always succeed). I like labeling things as they are, with a dry description, which I realize is even more obvious, but offers no direct conclusion. You look at the drawing and ask "did he just draw a log with a head band and wrist bands?" and then you read the caption, which answers your question: yes he did.

That being said, when I tweet about a drawing, I like to use a different description or caption, so that the experience does not repeat the caption. Ack! Creating titles for your art online is so complicated. Don't even talk to me about viral-friendly/search engine friendly nonsense. I'm an artist, dammit.

Sometimes when Im drawing something odd, my wife tells me "I don't get it". Then I always answer "there's noting to get".
Somehow there's always an ambition to understand things.

An ambition to understand things -- well said! It's so true. Our rational minds are always trying to solve the puzzle. But what if there is no solution? What if the whole point is to remain in a state of absurdity? My argument is that so much of the world we have created doesn't make any sense, so I often feel compelled to make drawings that reflect that.
