Profiling my new Hairdresser: Harold & the Purple Crayon

Quite a long wavy line of oinking here! Harold's line of hair approaches infinity —and therefore prevents certain kinds of balding such as bald imagination.



Now to convince Harold to think pinker (a less saturated purple) before he takes his hand at making my single cotton candy strand of hair into a pouf, kind of a tutu-type halo that sags like a gauzy-souffle that doesn't quite make it as a dish, so drops down on my head in a glorious oink-worthy do. A perfect landing of a great crown of pink cotton candy sculpture while reading a great book by Crockett Johnson

Imagine the geometric shapes that can emerge from rumpling, twisting, folding, etc. Harold's line.  Crockett Johnson realized many possibilities in his geometrical paintings and discussed them in his 1972 essay On the Mathematics of Geometry in My Abstract Paintings.

If you're curious, please visit the Crockett Johnson homepage, a very oinkful site!
