Time and Motion (2006)

This was the first dot/circle drawing I did, I started it in math class using a notecard they gave us.

“Liminal Lines” - 560W bus to Westwood Village 7/6/17

First attempt at a reboot of an idea I had when I was a teen. I draw somewhat evenly spaced lines in a vehicle and allow it to naturally bump/alter the lines. A sort of collaborative seismograph of my traveling.

Wavy Lines - WIP?

I don’t know if I’ll ever finish these ones to be honest... I’m not sure why. They don’t feel done but I have no drive to work on them again. I think I just prefer my patterns to form naturally and this was me trying to force them.

X out - WIP

This is just X’s drawn over and over in varying size, I intend to fill it all in to be a consistent pattern eventually but in the mean time I kind of like the fluctuating feel it has. The damage to the paper up top was caused by a hungry snail that somehow found it’s way into my house.

Simple line scribble - anxiety induced

Lines

I have been drawing a lot of lines and dots, repeating the same movements on a paper and seeing whatever patterns arise. It’s a way of managing my anxiety and I find the natural imperfections combined with repetition to be strangely soothing.

These are both not really done? I usually like to fill the page… but the pen I used for the first one died and the one on the bottom I got angry with because a line ran into the one below.

Dots.

Penciled then inked over. I kind of like the pencil one way more... I also erased impatiently so it got crinkled. *sigh* This was based on a pic submitted to /r/redditgetsdrawn but that was a week ago and I couldn't find it to post it (though I didn't try very hard lol).
