I've spent the last 4 years doing art that is almost perfectly symmetrical, and I've only just tried using the same techniques to make something entirely asymmetric.

And honestly I'm obsessed with it

[arthurbutus]

I often get asked if I always see names or songs as symmetrical and made of dots and the answer is no. In fact, I nothing I hear ever looks exactly like my art. Dotting is just my art style, and I use it as a medium to showcase the colours.

I have associative synesthesia so I actually don't even "see" anything for words or names; it's just kind of a vibe. I often have to mess around with colours on my tablet to make sure I can get a name to look right before I start painting it.

Music is a little different because I do get a sense of pattern/shape, but it's still rarely mandala-esque. The goal with my music pieces is to translate what I see in my head into my art style.

It's essentially a stylized portrait. I'm not creating a hyperrealistic depiction of what's happening inside my head because that was never my intention. I just really like dots, so I use them to give you a loose idea of what I see!

This piece is based on "Helpless" from the Hamilton soundtrack!
