Douglas Christian Larsen is an author and an artist who is a slave to writing but slips away for romance with visual art. His artwork is intricately detailed and somewhat more than loopy, but everything he is thinking and feeling works its way into the symbology of his lines, and into the shades of his colorful hues. Of late he has been immersed in creating his detailed 'meditation labyrinths,' or 'optical obsessions,' all in black and white. But he also works pieces of 'Virtual Shattered Glass,' melding the power of words with all the color of the rainbows. He is the father of six children (and these by far have been his most artistic creations).
