Thirty-seventh in the MAZE Series sees me retract an earlier count on possibilities. I said there were only four combinations but I realized looking at this piece there are five. A pair and two solos.

That’s where I am at with this piece. I am also in love with this piece. Moorish tile patterns how I love thee!

The other two are an underwater shots from MAZE33 and then a crazy backstage shot from a Dior show. It looks like Karolina Kurkova on the right in some crazy Galliano tribal ganguro.

It’s obvious that I would love the mess of this one. Too much is going on. The patterns are colliding. It’s perfect.

Yeah the underwater shot could have more action. But visually it’s a funny joke to think that the whale is going to swim into panel 1 lightly knocking Liya Kebede’s arm. Humor abounds.

At this late in the series it’s nice to see the successes continue. I really need more comments from viewers. I know what my page hits are and I really want more dialogue with the people who are viewing. Even if it’s negative. I know I could come to regret that but I mean it. Anyone?
