This was one of the few pieces that I actually made a preliminary drawing - it was just a small one to begin with, on a A4 sheet. Then I decided to do it large.
First draft title was BIOMORPHIC PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE
1st sketch by Otto Rapp,
graphite on paper 10" x 8.5"

...... meanwhile on Facebook, someone sent me this photo of his tattoo, based on my drawing!

I played with the image in photoshop and mirrored it .........and once a event in Norway asked to use it for a poster

I have a lot of favorites among your art, but this is definitely in the top. It appeals to the cyclist in me and the never ending journey. Destinations are waypoints in my infinite existence. It is also deeper than that. No matter what I'm doing, I am always recreating myself. I am new, I am a made from what I am.

Very surreal drawing, reminds me to Hieronymus Bosch's paintings.

Haha, I just noticed the mirrored version and I thought, 'At once traveling into the past and into the future. Matter and antimatter each with their time a running reciprocal to the other, yet one in the same.'

It's the most creative ouroboros I have ever seen. It reminds me of animation of a hypercube. I fell into it, staring, fascinated.

Hypercube, yes. Did you read "—And He Built a Crooked House—"

definitely, you must - it is just a short story. I had a book of a collection of Hugo Award Winners edited by Isaac Asimov - as it were, when I left Canada I had to leave my books behind, among them a large SF collection.
