Plant More Seeds.


This one above is possibly my next tattoo design. I might add some more to it, but I like the simplicity as well.
I’m definitely enjoying drawing with all this dotwork. It’s time consuming, but therapeutic.

Some more sacred geometry/ mandala dot work.

Beautiful ink work!
Stippling (the dots)is difficult to master…seems you already have it down pat!
Try some hatching/cross-hatching…all 3 together can give you some real interesting textures!

Yeh thats cool way to get some variance in the textures!

I do a lot of crosshatching in my comic book work, so these were both kind relaxing/meditative pieces to do, I find the repetition of the dotwork to be very peaceful on my mind.

Here’s a wall hanger i made yesterday during work because I can; it’s called a “Phytogram”.

The Phytogram method is a technique that uses the internal chemistry of plants for the creation of images on photographic emulsion; in this case I used 16mm sound stock which is used for making optical film soundtracks…

aka these:

Turns out a plant I found growing from my yard from last years seeded nugs is a male. So let’s make art!

I took the cuttings and soaked it for 1hr in water + washing soda + vitamin c crystals. The spoons are to keep everything submerged.

Here’s the components.

The 16mm is taped to a sheet of glass (in black bag), and I used another sheet of glass to hold down the leaves firmly to the emulsion of the film stock.

Soaked leaves are shaken then placed on the film (purple stuff under all that green).

Our darkroom was being used so I did all this in our loading bay. :rofl:

And then after I put the glass on-top of the leaves, I placed it in the sun for 25min.

It smelled like cooked greens when I was pulling it all in as it was soooooo very hot and sunny yesterday.

I washed off all the plant matter and soaked solution with plain water, then used ecofixer for 7 minutes to set the image. Making sure to hang everything in order I let it dry overnight because I couldn’t be bothered to take it down yesterday.

I did two and you can see both hanging here.

The second was more dynamic so having only 1 floating frame on hand I mounted that one first and here it is on a light table.

I need to get more frames and then I can experiment on display. I’m thinking sandwiching a very light diffusion into a second floating frame and then glueing them back-to-back would result in a sun-powered light box for a window and using mostly stuff from the dollarstore! :rofl:

Cheers folks!
