My version of "art"

[placidfemme]

I'm not the most artistic person out there... and in my "boredom time" at work, when I'm not on KB I doodle on paper and over the last 3 years I've done the following 3 pieces of abstract art.

The 3 pieces below may look a little mis-adjusted because they are on A3 and our work scanner only does A4, so I had to play around with resizing, copying, pasting etc... oh well...

Each piece takes about 3-4 months to complete given that each little pattern is unique and is a lot more time consuming than it seems. And given that I only spend about an hour working on it at a time... it just seems to take forever...

I'm currently 3/4 done with the 4th piece which is a peace symbol, half black and half green... the side that is green has a black background and the side that is black has a green background...

I only use ink to do these as it doesn't smudge nearly as bad as anything else I've tried...

Anywho...

Wowwowow! That's amazing and definitely art. Never get rid of those, one day you will have enough to make a gallery show and be able to enter the world of selling art for profit.
Reminder to self, art is cool, must do art again. Used to in the past, installations and sculpture.

Thanks

I used to have them hanging next to my desk at my old job, and everyone always wanted copies of them... I've kept the originals and only given away copies because right now I can't bare to give an original away because they take so damn long to do its hard to let go lol

When I finish the 4th one I'll post that up too...

Already thinking of what the next design should be...

The first one was the one that was completely black... then I tried to mix black and red... and then the third one is the one with the two female symbols interlinked... and as mentioned the 4th is a peace symbol...

I was thinking of doing something bike related, but not sure what... maybe just a symbol... like the "S" from Suzuki as an example... but it would be hard to get the edges of the "S" sharp enough...

Edit: Also its not too easy with ink because of the lack of colour available in ballpoint pens... black, blue, red and green...

Oh... I'll just add....

The pics arn't in the order I wrote them about:

First Pic = Two female symbols interlinked (3rd one I did)
Second Pic = Red & Black Patterns (2nd one I did)
Third Pic = Black Patterns only (1st one I ever did)

And thanks guys

I don't understand what you mean by that...

But I'm glad you like them... not the norm aye... I've never seen anyone else who does anything similar...
