Works in this group begin as line drawings that are then filled in, like a coloring book. Most of them use black ink on white or colored paper, but a selection are drawn in white ink on colored board.

"Every dedicated artist searches for a certain essence during the journey of years through physical and spiritual events and intellectual analysis. Chasing that Kite samples the essence that Don Martin found and still shares."
