About the Pen-do-Chronology series:

1) Basic ingredients: trevor, paper, pen, curlicue marks, a spiral-ish shape and time.
2) Optional items: rubber time stamp, timer, pencil, acrylic, audience participation, etc.
3) Create parameters (e.g., “draw one continuous curlicue line in a spiral pattern for three hours”).
4) Leave one or more elements open to chance or future decision-making.
5) Perform drawing following predetermined parameters and adjust elements according to taste (this is a flexible human-made process, not a rigid, machine-like structure) until done.
6) Enjoy!
