Oops, all Loops and Siffrin!Loops! Great for a balanced diet!

(these are all transparent, so feel free to use them for whatever. i'm letting them run out into the wild)

The Plague Rose (Collaborative Zine)

This zine is focused on the traditional nursery rhyme "Ring a Ring o' Roses". It is an artistic reimagination of the Black Plague where the rhyme is rumoured to originate from.

The zine features an intense black and red colour palette, a design choice that came later on in the process. The red represents the roses and poppies of the rhyme, but is more often associated with blood. The black quite literally represents the "Black" Plague, but is also often associated with mystery.

I've recently started to create geometric drawings (axonometry) of mathematical functions, the same ones I usually tackle with code.

One could say it does not make sense to painstakingly draw what code could create quickly. But for me the interesting thing is to grasp these functions on a different, more intuitive level - compared to mentally processing mathematical formulae or casting it into computer code. After literally decades of dealing with mathematical expressions and code I have rediscovered descriptive geometry, as sort of a "third language" (in addition to math or code) to say the same things. I am also fascinated by the little math puzzles that pop up when I create these drawings, and which require a completely different approach than calculations or programming.

I am usually drawing them at least three times, until I am somewhat satisfied. The journey is the reward anyway :-)

Here is the work-in-progress photo of my taming two favorite functions of mine - often already used in my creative coding art. I called them "Reality and Imagination" as these are two "towers" or "trumpets" that represent real and imaginary part of the complex function 1/z. Grand words, but you also describe them as: Stack circular rings upon each, ring diameter decreasing reciprocally with height, align along the circumference. Then flip over, and then rotate by 90 degrees.

Circles are just ellipses, seems to be easy, but the 2D projections overlap greatly with the 3D axonometric image as I am currently using "small" A4 watercolor paper. The real challenge will be to convey the spirit of this trumpet-like surface without of course create all the giant circles.... as moving closer to the origin of the vertical axis, the radii of the circles get larger and larger, and finally the straight axis is the "circle with infinite radius".

Anyway, I actually do not really want to "explain math", I am more meditating upon these structures :-) I am drawing two versions in parallel - with slightly differently positioned 2D projections, and different sizes of the circles. The version were I colored the ellipses / circles already was the first, more rough one - and I guess I will test something more bold with that one. The other one will maybe become a more delicate drawing. I also admit, that I take a look at the code-generated structures - not for comparing details, but to get the overall look right :-)

Finished the set of Woodlings, feeling I have a better grasp on working with a wider palette range. Then again, it is only wood lol

ACT 3 (... it seems like you've touched a nerve somehow.)

I see all your tags on the Two Coins Same Side AU posts I did, and I see a lot of things. "Where are their gloves," you say. "How is ACT 5 going to play out," you say." And most importantly: "Does the housewife conversation still happen?"

And I say, "I have answers to all of those. And yes, the housewife conversation happens but slightly more painful :)"

Also feel free to like blast out whatever thoughts you have in the tags; I eat them all up and sometimes it also helps me to decide what to draw next.
