I feel like all that time I’ve been practicing shading is starting to pay off.
Sitting atop a fractal surface of black holes, Tribert tries to make Adenine, one of the molecules in DNA, but he didn’t get it quite right, probably because he got distracted by the cats. Maybe next time, Tribert.

A video of the xenon piece I made on Friday hooked up to a standard electronic transformer. On most of these it has this lightning in a bottle effect. You can hear the arc bouncing off the walls of the glass in its staticy white noise. It's reactive to touch an electrical currents

I’ve been doodling my whole life, and regularly practicing and studying drawing for the last several years. Late Saturday night, while lying down on the couch, I doodled this pile of flower sprigs from memory. It’s all in ink, with no pencil under-sketch.
