Seeing Things


Okay. Because everybody has been asking...
Wait, what? What do you mean only one person asked? I'll have you know that Unmitigated qualifies as "everybody", as far as I'm concerned.

A-a-a n y w a y... since someone asked, here's my process on the tile picture.

Colors are not great because I had to take pictures with my cell phone (as if it wasn't odd enough to take my phone into the bathroom, it would have been really weird if they had seen me take a camera in there!)
(Of course, they all think I'm weird, anyway, so...)

So - I saw this tile and my crazy artist's brain interpreted the random pattern as a figure.


I know, you're sitting there looking at the tile, going "Wha...?"

So here's another picture:

No?
Okay, how 'bout now?


So I did a loose sketch and then away I went:

  3. I do that all the time...not the taking the camera into the bathroom part, the seeing pictures in random designs part! I had to get rid of a shower curtain because it had evil monkeys in it.

  4. I wish I could draw. I see faces and figures in tiles and rocks and tree trunks....lots of places actually. Oh yeah. And clouds.
