Piece description from the artist
This illustration came out of two of my enduring interests – the color blue, and futile or unaccomplishable tasks. Last year I received a drawing prompt to make an illustration of the night sky. To emphasize the uncapturability of the color of the sky at night, I featured a swarm of color swatches, a familiar motif to me through my work as an illustrator. As with most of my work, this was intended to be both a serious and poignant meditation on the ineffability of life in the cosmos, as well as a light tongue-in-cheek color study.
