"Occorre far capire che finché l'arte resta estranea ai problemi della vita, interessa solo a poche persone"
Bruno Munari
This pattern made me think of a fancy door knob, so the name is a riff--some door is missing it's knob handle because I took it for the pattern. It's knob-less *pause for laughter*.
Okay, maybe not so funny, lol, but it's a simple pattern, using circle, square and diamond. Easily varied and used as a single pattern, a string or fill.
This pattern was drawn in one of Geneviève Crabe's Tangle Organizers Layout #1.

"Seeing abstract value patterns, not just the literal subject, is one of the first and most difficult things for a growing artist to learn." (Jane R. Hofstetter)
The qualities I thought a pattern should have is that it should be repetitive and it should have color. I think it is important to look at the natural world because it allows you to see original content that is not man and you can capture something that occurs on its own volition. I think that nature is beautiful and my inspiration came from nature is of how people will often take pictures of scenery as a way of preserving that memory of nature. I drew that patterns of Polaroids as a way of showing the beauty of nature being captured in a photo. Working in illustrator is difficult and i had to restart multiple times because it simply was not working out or I had clicked something and the image would change. What was also difficult is that the lines are vectors and work as a single layer, changing the image would alter the lines and would end up as a mess. However through struggle it because easier moving and creating shapes. I also learned how to use the bucket-fill tool.
After scratching my head about smooth continuous bezier curves, I remember to an old blog post from Marius (thanks delicious.com/eskimoblood/bezier)
One Main Place is a mixed-use skyscraper hotel and office building at 1201 Main Street in Dallas, Texas. The shadows remind me of a giant shadow box and form interesting patterns. This is two shots, merged with Photoshop. Minimal enhancements: just to bring out detail of the concrete and enhance contrast to highlight the patterns of the shadows.

On euro tour with Sean and Neil for 3 days of mayhem and a grand total of 8 hours sleep. Taking in some old and new sites and showing them some of what is out there as it was their first time. Also made time to meet up with the SPEXS crew.
Abandoned swimming pool with lots of interesting features, the builders are in so material is everywhere but still some shots worth taking.
