Carnival

This is what I love about drawing—how each new line or color can shift everything, how the initial idea can take a completely different turn. I started with a horse, thinking of Incitatus, bold, chaotic, a little absurd, full of presence. But as I added more, the madness of the colors, the rhythm, the energy pulled me elsewhere.

For a while, I thought to call it Kaleido, to capture that vibrant movement, the flicker of joy, like music caught in a blur of motion.

In the end, I settled on Carnival. Because beyond the playfulness and absurdity, there’s something to celebrate here, a mood, a feeling, a wild little dance between color and imagination.
