Hotel I spent the night in has what I have to assume is placeholder art in most of the frames: generic aesthetically consistent swirls (compare with the bed spread) that they could almost get away with if they didn’t have pairs of nearly identical images hanging together.

I’d alllmost entertain the idea that it was something intentional and abstract except they’ve also got a pair of lighthouse seascapes in the room.

did i post this already? i'm just gonna post it again anyway

I haven't really been posting much lately, so here's a I think I made for no defensible reason

New work in progress.

Path Tile Configuration

The time this painting took to make, because of drying after the reds first went on, means it bookended most of the process of developing and putting up for sale the geometric tiles the original triangle versions of which the painting's design came from.

Mostly it's that that process with the tiles was really quick; still, the contrast in pace for working with the same idea in different contexts is tripping me out a little today.

Heya, I started an etsy shop for the geometric tiles I've been designing and lasering recently!

I dunno if this is a chakra or a stargate or the worst/best lockpicking puzzle in Mass Effect 7 but I like it

Heptagons again, now in actual object form.

Heptagon path tile construction.

Fuck everything, we're doing hexagons.

Stripes with Magnification
oil on canvas, 24"x24"

More or less happy with how this came out, as a test of process and of the underlying idea, though I think there's more interesting variations worth chasing down.

Kicking up the complexity a bit with pentagons and rhomboids. Bunch of yammering and more pictures over on birb site if you are willing to fuck with that:
