Ah ha, I get the clever irony in this one b.c. ;-)

thanks Armin, CJ, and Paul. I'm glad my attempt at irony with the pen choice wasn't completely lost :)
and anyhow the text came in handy for focus and checking for unintended blur of my hand... - b.c.

This is good, i particularly like seeing it's a SuperSharpie in your sharp hand considering the subject.

I like your take on the subject and a good composition too with a nice b/w conversion. :-) CJ

thanks Rod & Sharon.
Sharon - let's see if I can explain my "Bizarro-world" intention here... (forgive me if it's just _too_ weird :)
The POV is purposely reversed from what you expect - like my other entries (re: Ultrapod), what's in motion is sharp and looks still, and what should be stationary to the outside viewer is blurred. maybe it's one of those things that'll only seem OK after a few beers - b.c.

I like the take on Escher in this! But this is one place where I think the hand with the pen should be blurred and the drawing sharp. I may be misunderstanding your intent with this but it just doesn't seem to "read" right to me. Still a very creative idea and a very nice b&w conversion! ~Sharon

A good take on the topic b.c. Well done mate:-)
