Gothic Symbol Matrix.

Gothic Symbol Matrix 2008.
Pencil and ink.
Completed in just under 6 hours.
First I drew the grid and then the letters G-O-T-H-I-C from the Gothic Alphabet.
I drew the letters in pencil then went over them with ink when I was happy with their shape.
The other squares in the grid are populated with adaptations of symbols found in an old encyclopedia.

The following four images are tile designs. I have created these by taking sections from my negative matrix and repeating these.
