The process of creating a oneLINE drawing is pretty simple in principle. You look at an image, and create an imaginary path in your mind that never crosses or intersects. Next you get out a pen and begin to meticulously bring the mind map to the page. If you make an error and block yourself into a corner, then you must begin again.
Read MoreWhen we visited Paris in February of 2017, we found it easy to orient ourselves by finding the tower whenever we needed a landmark. It was quite a hike from the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower or from the Eiffel Tower to Notre Dame, but we did both several times.

Read MoreWe have all played with an Etch A Sketch and tried to make a picture. The painting above shows what is possible when you reduce our three dimensional world to a single line. With an Etch A Sketch you can cross, double back and re-trace lines you have already created. The challenge is to make what seems impossible possible; create an image from a single line without crossing, doubling back or re-tracing any lines.
Read MoreWe just completed a big oneLINE project, and it has not yet been delivered to its owner. We cannot show too much in this post, but we can show you the START of a piece that is very special.
Read MoreLet’s be honest...when urban camping the last thing to expect is getting a little bit closer to nature. However, we discovered a little known secret after reading an article in the New York Times that informed us there were a total of 174 campsites within the National Park system in the NYC area!
