Hi Marc,
I liked your drawings too.
In terms of 'insanity', which Im now doubtful about modern day
paradigms of psychiatry, here is a gallery you may be interested in:
http://www.richiemclean.com/1.1.html
...it is a collection of drawing included in an autobiography of my
experience with 'schizophrenia'.
There are a lot of images, some in the book, and some from the era.
I have also done a new collection of late, at:
www.tastemysubversion.com.au.
ps i especially like the map of the english coast and the organic
nature of the first sketch.
Richie.

Hi James,
Well - I think that we can enjoy creating in other mediums as well as
net art.
A while back, I created a web site of sketches consisting of work from
1986 to 1990...
even the web site now seems from another era.
tomorrow's insecurity
"sketch pads created by marc garrett during 86-90."
These images, notes, poems & rants are all from a 4 year period of my
life, 1986 to 1990. This was a crucial stage for learning. It comes
from a philosophical place & questions life, Art, Insanity, Security,
Institutions & many other things. They are from sketch books & note
pads that I have always carried around with me. On this site there are
numerous thoughts & images, questioning situations, events, personal &
political etc...

I wonder if anyone else on here has stuff that they can show (links
to) before they explored net art, or related creativity? Hell, we
could have an online exhibition of web art by net artists before they
suddenly turned....
