In a healthy relationship there is no compulsion. You trust and accept each other the way you are. Leopard geckos are wild animals that can become very tame. But you can neither expect nor try to force it. You have to be patient and accept that the animals only allow as much contact as they want.

Originally, Will Smith was to take the lead role in the movie Matrix. He refused. But Keanu Reeves found the role of his life with Neo. The filming of the fourth part will begin next year. Also in this sequel Reeves is to play Neo again. But why always human?

I have another idea:

The machines are defeated and all humans are free. So far, the pet matrix is ​​undiscovered. Of course, even the best friend of man, the leopard gecko, is treacherously used as a battery! They also live in an artificial reality and have no idea what really happens.
But there is a young gecko woman, Leo, with a strange idea. She's looking over the Tail Vibration Net for an answer to the constant feeling of having bugs in the walls. A mysterious vibration one day advises her to follow the white cricket. When Leo finally hears it chirping, she locates the cricket and follows her instinct not to catch it. The walls are more interesting.
It's as if dream and reality were merging. Leo can see huge bugs through the walls. They are in the walls!

A loud chirping tears Leo out of this vision. Now one cricket has become two.
"You can not get one without others!", Crickets chuckle and run away.

Leo can not react that fast.

As she thinks about what the crickets meant, she gets hungry. Bugs in the walls, fooled by crickets, nervous breakdown!
The reality collapses! A world appears in which everything is open. Where questions were, answers are now. There is no spoon!
Leo splits into several geckos and eats through the buggy walls. The two crickets have no chance! Full eaten, Leo sinks into a deep sleep.

When she awakes, she barely dares her eyes ...

Leopard geckos are friendly hunters. They greet you nicely, with a charming smile, before they crack your exoskeleton and spread your innards everywhere.

On the edge of the world, where dreams come true! 😃☄🐛☄
At least that's what some geckos think, I think. 😂

Affini Banini. One of my doodles from 2012.
It's basically a monkey staring at a banana. Maybe you are too.

Alien Landscape. One of my color drawings from 2006.
Fineliners doesn't forgive! Paint over mistakes is usually not possible. Almost every correction remains visible. At least with the pens I used. That's why I drew this picture without a sketch. That sounds illogical at first, but it's great for developing a thoughtful way of working. By design, this drawing is nothing special and I could have done a lot better. But the moment I finished it, I was very proud of it. It was a lot of work and I finished it in one go without rushing. Many of my drawings would have looked much better even then, if I had not become impatient while working. At that time, quantity was even more important to me than quality. I knew I could do better, but I have always been praised for the poor performance. I was rarely satisfied. In the meantime, I'm patient enough to work on a picture for several years. And I'm just happy to do this.

Sometimes I visit other planets. On Beta Carotene, everyone is invisible because they eat so many carrots.
