There is a watercolor of a human face placed on the gigantic wireframe torso of a mythological entity slowly plowing through the night. This image inspires the title of the painting, Pushing the Big-Steps Magic Man. This push is being performed by the figure in the lower left; doing the most common move in tai chi, Brush Knee. We see the energy of his push as impacting the space time continuum in front of it as warping and morphing and transmuting it, according to elements of Taoist alchemy, represented by the fiery pa kua, circle of hexagrams in the chest of the mythological being. There is a falling line of animated mandala or mudra elements going through the spine of the figure at the bottom.     The pa kua energy ball is on the back cover of Knight of a 1000 eyes at left, is in the same position as on the front cover, giving the sense of a direct line through the book. Here on the back cover we have the Necker cube, an illusion, which oscillates between being flat and three dimensional. This inspires the title Life steps out through the Tao. In the flat space it is a hexagram and sows earth, water, and air with fire in the middle. A dinosaur skeleton with a knights head is also in the emblem.     Click image to pop-up enlargement
