dotartdude

Originally I set out to make the letters spelling "dotartdude" into a graffiti image. Along the way I broke up the letters into a grid; plus I added some large dots.

Knotted Knots

While waiting for a film to start at local film festival, I started this sketch. That was back in October. My goal was to take a different direction. Along the way I got stuck on how to finish this. Anyway, I recently finished this drawing.

Striped Circles 2

Well, I finally revisited my drawing Striped Circles. I used less circles this time. My next step will do one in color.

After the two maps, I decided to just play with dots and lines. After a bit of that, I just stopped. I looked at it since and decided not to go further.

For this map drawing I drew the colors first. Then I added lines and dots second. Finally I drew larger dots once I determined the most connections across a color.

So I got bored and fell back on a compulsion for fictitious mapping again. This time I began with lines and dots. Afterwards I added color based on the shapes created by the lines and dots.
