A 6-fold mandala of a poppy seed capsule, an 8-fold mandala of goldfish and a 16-fold mandala of reflections on water mixed together into a square (p1) kaleidoscope.
My recording function still drops parts of the recorded video so I have to guess the correct length for a perfect loop. But after 17 tries, this one seems to be good.
One of my favorite color wheels is also one of my smalllest, because it’s covered in a rainbow of mica paint, and the colors shimmer in the light. #color#watercolor#painting#mathart
꧁⚠️꧂ New 10.5.5 #tiling just dropped!
It's based on chunks of 4 10gons(it is inspired by ðe cairo 5gon tiling),
moving to 1 of ðe 5 closest 10gons takes 2 steps wiðin ðe chunk & 3 when leaving
ðere's also ðese quirky 5gon worms inside ðe rest of ðe structure 🥴 (unfortunately ðey have an 11θ 5gon ruining ðe symmetry)
Physicists conjecture that for each cat, there is an anticat of the same size but opposite temperament. Some cats are shifted red and some are shifted blue. I’m not sure I got that all right. I was prety sleepy during the lecture.

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.

as u can clearly 🙃 see it is made from regular 9gons & irregular 🔯 to fill ðe gaps(or 6gons + irregular 3gons)
It’s been a challenging month, and I haven’t had a lot of success with my gouache painting lately. So I decided to go back to my old style of doodling cats and aliens on black holes with ink and colored pencils, where life makes sense and I know what I’m doing.
Infinite Holes with Two Cats
Doodle No. 139
Watercolor pencils, ink, mica paint on 6” square cotton paper.
Happy birthday to founder of modern nursing, social reformer, statistician, data visualization innovator & writer Florence Nightingale (1820 – 1910)!
Nightingale earned the nickname "The Lady with the Lamp" during the Crimean War, from a phrase used by The Times, describing her as a “ministering angel” making her solitary rounds of the hospital at night with “a little lamp in her hand”. 🧵1/n
