Does anyone remember doing those symmetry patterns at school? The ones we did with just a pencil and a ruler and no curves, just straight lines.
(There is probably a word for these patterns, but I can't remember what it is. If anyone knows, please remind me!)
Well, I thought I'd have a go at doing this digitally in photoshop, and TBH, it wasn't as hard as I thought it might be. I started off making the original piece, then flipped the images around, messed around with colours, then moved on to distorting it.
I had lots of fun making these.

The cover image in color. I originally used very flat colors with slight washes and highlights. I took a break and didn't get back to it until weeks later. This time, I used a completely different coloring style- i.e. the air brushy effect on the yellow spiky-faced thing. So, the coloring is kind of inconsistent but, hopefully, it's not that noticeable.
Background layers come from my "fabric paper" texture set. Feel free to download and use for your own creations.
#69 While you're at it,* draw your coffee pot *(and electric kettle)
PRODUCT INFO: The cordless electric kettle is still a "must-have" appliance, but now the better-heeled "upgrade" to a countertop "bar" that purifies and dispenses cold/hot water.
This "Kennedy" is the cheapest qumqum around. The plastic parts wear out after a year or so, but the fancier models lack its convenient wind-up base for storing the electric cord.
"French" coffee press for making strong black coffee (flavored with ground cardamom only). To be kept refrigerated in a vintage Kahlua bottle for a quick pick-me-up with milk (preferably vanilla-flavored).
Tools: Uni-ball Micro pen
Location: kitchen countertop (north)
Every now and then I’ll make a piece of jewelry based on older art or classic art that I personally like. It provides a little variety to the inventory that I sell both online and at various street fairs.
This particular graphic was originally a piece of circa late 1960′s-early 1970′s advertising art for a now-dormant doll known as Crissy that was manufactured by the now-defunct Ideal Toy Company. I was attracted to the delicate line art that was used to create this piece. In a way, it’s too bad you don’t see art like this in ads any more.
I downloaded the original graphic from the Internet then printed it out on special Shrinky Dinks paper that’s made especially for ink jet printers. This piece has a necklace loop and a pin backing so the owner has the option of wearing it as either a pin or a necklace.
Drawing done 1990. Thanks to Joan Gillman Smith (who i Follow on Flickr here) for the idea of collaging old drawings to new paper(s). Liberate your drawings from scraggly sketchbooks to new, improved art! (Stamps [bottom to top: Iran, Bulgaria, Korea] mailed to UCBerkeley Math Dept where i was privileged to work for 20 years (1984-2002 + Lawrence Berkeley Lab earlier.)

A more free flowing and experimental than usual, I tried not to be held back by fear of making a mistake, which made for a fun experience.
