hello ‘skine.art!
I’m happy to announce that after ages of lurking here and loving it, I have finally taken the plunge and created an account. I love the work being shared and am excited to be a part of it all at last. my first post is a two-parter: two different versions of one design I created a little while back.
I’ve been a huge fan of sacred geometry for at least a year or so—seed/egg/flower of life, celtic knotwork, &c.—and decided to combine that with my lifelong love of the number 4 (and, by extension, squares) in a set of interlocking square links.
I like to think of them representing the 4 classical elements: (clockwise from top) Earth, Air, Fire, Water. another interesting reading I discovered is that they seem to represent the 4 base pairs of DNA (GATC) which are the building blocks of life as we know it. naturally, there are many more sets of 4 which could be referenced; and I invite you to choose the one(s) which speak(s) to you.the version on the left was done with a Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen as well as Prismacolor colored pencils; and the version on the right was done with a brush-tip F-C artist pen and colored brush-tip F-C markers.
I hope you enjoy; and I look forward to sharing more of my work in the future.
Cheers,
William

Experimented with white ink on piece of black paper I bought long time ago for no reason. I was distracted by thoughts about disaster in Japan, so couldn’t really pull myself together, so my drawing feels like ready to collapse and shows my fear.

Stricken 3 – This is the third of nine in this series. I had to graft a new piece of paper over one of the bottom waves with the bird, but luckily it doesn’t notice.

Stricken 4 – Here’s the next one. I have tried out some tests in two shades of red on white. When I have some printed I’ll post them next to the originals in my Moleskine.
