Painting Myself as a Freak

Joe was disturbed by my reaction to the images I found online, made by other obsessive pattern makers ... I was excited.
I was shockingly happy to find someone who made things "just like mine" .... they weren't that similar and when I looked closer I could see that...
As I explained to him... I think my excitement came from thinking they would somehow lead to a piece of my personal puzzle. Why do I make these patterns?

My excitement was short lived and hard to define... so I am not even sure what struck me...
I think Joe thought it was about me looking for a group to fit in to. He might not be wrong... I did find the images while investigating  the trading of Artist Trading Cards... and that search did have something to do with reaching out and finding a controllable  social encounter.

... a safety meeting
