Pattern 17/52
This week’s pattern was created to a brief in week 2 of the ABSPD course Module 3 (The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design).

Ok, I am half-German (but not Bavarian) and… Read More
New Layers
I finished a painting this week, on a 1m x 1m canvas (40” x 40”). I don’t know how many layers this painting has (seven or more), I started it in October last year and I found every layer so uninteresting that I didn’t even care to take photographs of the painting in progress. And… Read More
