While I was drawing this picture I had an odd feeling, something I've
never experienced before while making art with an unseen Genesis Card
underneath the sketchpad. When those two reddish sort of martians
appeared I suspected that the "Energy" card was under the paper. But
my rational mind erased the thought. Too obvious I thought for those
long-bodied twins to reincarnate in this new work! Then I flipped
over the card when the art was completed and my jaw dropped in
surprise as well as confusion. What did this picture actually mean? I
had asked myself a question to do with goal setting. What I
discovered through this picture is that without seeking peace of
mind as part of a goal the goal itself is worthless. I am very single-
minded lately in how I get things done. I don't easily give credit to
my partner for the hard work and energy that he has put into creating
Genesis art Lounge with me. He can be fiery red and loud as the
martian here but I suppose I can be as well. And so here he is,
standing next to me. And our dual creations, those curious egg-like
twin things also stand between us, I couldn't say so right after
making the picture but days later I see that these martians remind me
that by combining energies, two can create something new and
beautiful. Thank you Aki!
