Stepping away from the spirgraph and into a transition to the next real experiment. This is a quiet piece. Repetitive yes but dark. A bit of a dip into my constellation drawings.
It's fun. Mostly it's making something on the way to something else.

More crazy circles.
Still continuing on an energetic path. The transparency creates a depth while keeping the color intensity.

I always loved my spirograph. I wonder where it is now.
I took my circle brushes a bit further. Mor experimentation. I think I really do like them all. I'm happy to share this with folks. Tomorrow more.

A bit more of the circle thing. I'm not exactly sure why except that it is fun to draw them on the iPhone. I'm testing out different brushes drawn as circles and it's very energetic. Successful? I have mixed feelings.

Caught up in an energy storm. This was another in a series of new tools I made. Working way outside my comfort zone. Now it feels good. Gonna continue working with these tools and see what else I discover. Who knew?

This was a surprise.
I really decided to experiment in the opposite direction here. I have been making drawings where the discovery was about how different could my drawings be in a digital realm. I found out a lot about that and it's not over yet.
But now I'm looking at more deliberately making things that I might want to try in the studio on substrates with new materials.

Using the same tools but with more liquid feel. Trying to experiment in ways that I may be able to move ourt of a digital toolset and onto paper in the studio. I've found a number of tools that may make that possible.
With the discovery of acrylic inks and graffiti paint markets I may be on my way.

Moving into a direction with more and more layers. This is my process when I work with pastels or sometimes colored pencils. It's harder to achieve these layers with inks.
This is a combination of the two techniques. In the digital I can make tools that are like pens and have ink effects but not encounter the difficulties of trying to achieve this on paper.
Thank you iPhone.

I was without direction when I made this drawing. Scribbles with a bit of a pattern. Using the elipse by duplicating. The same motion large and small.

Some how night was in my mind. It crept out in this drawing.
