Axolotyl

Comment from a friend:

god called. he wants to know how you found that back access panel to
the universe.

this reminds me of an m.c. escher drawing. the name reminds me of a video game on the original gameboy, as axolotl was one of its "save passwords" you got when completing a level.

...which begs the question: "how the hell....?"

i can’t stop looking at those, phillip. did you airbrush them or were they folds? good gravy i think i’m in love! hahaha.

Paintbrush

Another in the "paintbrush" design...I like the intensity of the colors.

Comet I

After seeing Dan’s beautiful designs that (to me) have a bit of spiral inspiration in them, I thought I might try my modified spiral technique again, using some recently acquired skills and ideas.

Here’s the result; a loose spiral, but it has a certain charm. I was going for a "FireBall" effect, and I’m fairly pleased with how it came out. I’d like to do it again and tighten up the pleats, because I like how the color blends worked.

I also tried a couple of new things with the colors. This set allowed me to try my "popping brown" idea that I wanted to use with another design. It worked pretty well. And the deep forest green blends are pretty.

While dying these I had another of those "You might be a flag-a-holic" ideas...

You might be a flag-a-holic...
when you notice that Algo Blue smells *good*.

(no really, it’s kinda sweet smelling)
