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
It’s Torr Seal!
Another product of the weekly group meeting. ‘Torr Seal’ is a brand name of epoxy that can be used in vacuum/high vacuum chambers (Torr is a unit of pressure measure) and I’ve been using it to insulate a magnetic probe. While I was working, I thought of the multiple meanings of the word ‘seal’ and then had the idea to create a super-powered science friend to accompany the Awesome Opossum (http://www.skineart.com/?s=awesome+opossum). This afternoon’s group meeting gave me a chance to indulge my silliness.
March Rain
An evening’s wandering in ink, inspired by the cold, steady rain outside and the anticipation of the spring flowers soon to follow.
Moonlight Dreams
I ordered something from a clothing/outfitting company and the logo on their packaging became the beginning of this page.
Meeting Notes
A good deal of our recent team meeting involved a lot of discussion that did not involve me at all; this is how I occupied myself.
Irish Eyes
Just a page that came out of playing with my green microns and thinking about clover shapes.
