These two experimental pieces were done using a ruling pen, the kind used for drawing fine lines in a mechanical drawing done by hand. By holding the pen sideways you can get varying thicknesses. I wasn't hoping for anyone to be able to read what these are, but you can make out the beginning line of a well-known Dylan song in one of them. I think of them as two more experiments with black and white. I feel that they both have their merits as such.
