An effort to produce naturalistic color in this self portrait painted in red, yellow, blue, black, and white square spirals over a black ground. I particularly like this one!
Miguel – painting – 42 x 30 inches
After the holiday, I made this second effort to portray my friend, Miguel Rivera, in square spirals, emphasizing this surprising optical illusion border of diamonds and diagonals even though every mark in the painting is either vertical or horizontal.

A portrait of my wife, acrylic painting on paper
First medium scale square spiral paintings
My first efforts to make medium scale paintings on paper using acrylic paint pens in a special jig I designed and built for the purpose. The paint pens I chose are made by Molotow and have a fibrous tip that is charged and recharged by pushing the tip into the body of the pen and […]

“Elena” life size pen and ink drawing
This was a long LONG process. Large drawings like this always take a long time, but this one took about a month of more or less continuous drawing. Aerialist, Elena Sherman, daughter of my friend, Cori Sherman North, agreed to model. I particularly liked this image of her and made a small drawing in addition […]
Small drawings with square spirals

This lends itself to the kind of repeating procedures (program) I’ve been thinking about for quite some time. But curving spirals (where the radius of the circle being drawn continuously expands from or contracts […]
Large drawing (Hal) with nested squares
One issue with my simple drawing tools is that, for the most part, the mark produced is uniform in width and color (one exception is a brush. The brush can be pushed into the surface to make a thicker mark or pulled out to leave a thinner one). It occurred to me that, already having […]
32 Small drawings with characters
July through November of 2018 I made a slew of small drawings in ink on paper using the two AxiDraw machines. From time to time as I work, I’ll edit and modify my program code so that the way I produce images changes. Most coders I’ve talked with are careful to archive each state of […]
Peregrine Bunny
For several months I’d been immersed in a large commission piece for a very large corporation. It was a big project and was required to sign an NDA / non-disclosure agreement. There was a lot of back and forth as a number of executives added their input, taste, requirements to the pot and that made […]
