son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing 
Bob Dylan

 painting may be an evasion, a ruse, a strategy away from the real, toward the true. drawing may be an instrument, a tool, or vehicle for making the real... even as it lies.
so 
maybe... drawing makes real 
maybe... painting makes true 
and,
​of course,
the jackalope hovers nearby.
