Is it a 'gift' as a friend of mine is wont to say or merely a coping mechanism in a world that likes things nice and bloated, overly complicated? This is a small sketch measuring a mere 5 by 4 inches approximately. So here is more of that simplified Original Jones Art joining the reductive fray from north Austin in that hapless state called Texas.
