I saw this cool alphabet/font on Pinterest that didn’t have any identifier’s on it to give the correct dues to where it’s from, so I tried to recreate it with my name, and to kinda see what happened when I was attempting to make a sort of logo, or stamp thing.

The only thing I know is was it may have been called Green. Trying to give the credit to whoever made the font.

Testing out a set up for twitch streaming and made this on a quick test stream. Will probably be doing more streams in the future. No set times or dates yet. More info to follow in the future

Worked on three different glitch/optical art projects today during my lunch break and just finished them after work.

I patterned them all out

Took it one step farther out and they still all ended up cool but I wanted to see the circle one a step farther out and it ended up the coolest looking

This was a fun project to do and see how the glitch/optical effects change as you pattern them farther out.

Playing around with truchet tiles and experimenting with glitch effect colors, and ended up making this weird set of 3D optically weird thing. Still looks cool though.

So I usually draw a piece of artwork while on my lunch break at work and post it, and then draw a few pieces after work as well and post them separately. Today is the exception. I didn’t finish the lunch drawing, because it was this piece here and it took me all lunch and still wasn’t done, so I waited till after work to finish and post.

I am hoping it came out looking good. Below I’ll post the separated graffiti art and the background for a better look at the individual pieces.

And here are the two seperate pieces. I hope I am doing this art form well and that the the background isn’t to busy.

I can’t tell which one I like better out of this hills and valley pattern. On the left, squares, and on the right, diamonds. For the most part the right one almost looks like overlapping pennants.

Here’s the initial base peices

The square and diamond patterns made out of it (yes the diamond pattern is just the square pattern squished horizontally

Patterned out

And even farther out.

This was a low thought pattern to ease my mind after a really long 12 hour work shift.

Experimentation leads to some wild things sometimes.

Was messing around with the Drunken path/freindship vine quilt block pattern and wanted to add a glitch effect like so below 👇

And it worked out pretty well, then I tried patterning it out but in the process this happened

Which was not what I was going for but still is neat.

Here is the glitch effect patterned out. Which does work, and I find that crazy.

And back to the final image. With a perspective blur, and some lights and shadows added. Experimenting is part of what makes this alot of fun. May it be good or bad results, both teach different things.

Had an inspiration at work to make a staircase-like three dimensional name in the fog with the stars behind it. Came out looking really cool in the end

Attempted to recreate this optical illusion with each side being a different paper texture. It works, but it doesn’t really sell the illusion well. Still kinda neat though.

Was inspired by old VHS logos and tried to see if I could replicate the effect but with my name. Came out looking really rad, Im actually quite proud of this one. There’s still more for me to learn with this technique but for a first attempt, not too bad.

I was cleaning a bit today and found this hexagonal tile piece with three colors on it, and I started to recreate it roughly. For some reason it kept bugging me that this was a piece of either a puzzle or a game, so I had to look it up and lo and behold it is from the game called Tantrix! It’s a game about creating spaces with the 56 tiles that come in the set with each tile being unique and having 3 out of the four colors on it, be it red, yellow, green, or blue. I’ve only recreated 5 of the tiles and not perfectly, but it gives you a good sense of them. Just had to share.

And here is a look at all the letters in one spot, you can see the different type of styles and attempts. It was a good experiment and learning opportunity. I will continue to learn practice as time goes on.

And here is the last letter of the graffiti alphabet, letter Z. Not to start trying to put words together.

Almost near the end of the alphabet, but that won’t stop me from learning as much as I can. Here is the letter X.
