Doodle No. 34 In one hole and out the other

This shows another version of the Poincaré model of hyperbolic space with microbes, space junk, aliens, and a few plants. 

Some are real. 

Some imagined. 

Some are totally unbelievable. 

I’ve worked in these colors before. 

I suspect I’ll use them again because they match the furniture.

Drawn with archival Prismacolor black ink, Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils, mica watercolor paint on Stonehenge 250 GSM 100% cotton paper.

Doodle No. 33 Tribert Makes Thymine

The design of this is based upon the Poincaré model of hyperbolic space. Ask a mathematician about it. It’s probably their favorite model of hyperbolic space. 

5.75” circle

A lot of people photograph their oakk in brings of flowers with real flowers. I don’t paint flowers. So I thought these Polyhedra seemed appropriate.

Doodle No. 32 Adam Explains How Holes Work

These weren’t the colors I thought I would get, but in the end I’m happy with how they turned out. It took a lot of layers of colored pencil to get there

. 

This piece is for someone who likes old wooden furniture and modern art.  It would look nice in a fancy guilded frame.

Doodle No. 31 Adam Makes an Atom

This is what happens when I let Melanie Schrader pick the colors.

Mike Ryan pointed out that the atom has three electrons, so it must be lithium. He cares for bipolar. Here is a detail of Adam and his lithium atom and the flash of the mica paint.

Doodle No. 30 Too Many Holes

In Doodle No. 24 Six Holes, I asked, “How many holes are too many?” The answer I was given was infinitely many. So then I spent the next several days trying to figure out how to draw infinitely many holes. The answer lied in the Poincare model of hyperbolic space. Here, I present “Too Many Holes.”

Doodle No. 29 Green Hole with Shrimp

If you ever visit a green hole, be sure to get a souvenir while you’re there. 

Someone challenged me to draw a black hole using a tiling other than the regular square one. That’s why there are triangles. Plankton and 2D RNA structures decorate the surface. The gold planet and most of the little dots shimmers in the light with mica paint.

Doodle No. 24 Six Holes

How many black holes is too many black holes?

This is one of the largest pieces in the series so far. It certainly took me the longest. The image is 7” by 8.8”. 

Here you can see how the details of silver mica shimmer in the light. I quite like the effect.
