Insert dada book title...

Kind of a random drawing, I had been playing around with design for book covers and trying out color ink pens. So this is most probably more of an experiment/sketch leading to a future oil painting.
The blue is sharpie permanent ink, the red is not. If you squared it from the bottom up, eliminating the top-half that is heavy with blue, it looks more balanced. Moreover, reversing the whole composition, cropping out the lower half, or 75% of the red, leaving a smaller exposure of the red revealed under the blue layer and a non-centeral 'peck' of red might make a interesting composition. (Guess I should not be making my notes to myself here on how to split the pic to diptych, but oh well...)
