Here is an image of my matrix which is converted into negative.



Here is a design I have created by duplicating some symbols from my matrix drawing.

It has a sky-at-night look about it.

It's a combination of the symbols, Taurus / astrology & Platinum / alchemy.

It is a full moon tonight.

Pencil and ink.

A symbol of the sacred feminine.

I created these images by scanning sections from my sketchbook, adding text.

I have used tonal shading and cross hatching in the background.

A rubbing, in pencil, of a stone carving.

A circle and a cross.

My variation of an inverted pentagram, or a five pointed pentacle?

I have used tonal shading to enhance the geometry of the shapes within.

Drawing inspired by the work of Charles Mikolaycak.

This drawing is inspired by the work of Charles Mikolaycak.

This one took 8 hours to complete.

I recreated this image in pencil and ink from the the cover illustration of a book entitled, "In the morning of time."

"It is a novelized re-telling of Norse mythology, as it is related to the two Icelandic Eddas.

The loss of the world's innocence, exemplified by the death of a god, Balder is the theme, although other Norse deities are skilfully introduced in the development of this theme."

* Library Journal.

The book - In the morning of time: The story of the Norse God Balder, was written by Cynthia King. Published by Scholastic Book Services in 1970. It includes several illustrations by Charles Mikolaycak.

I like the symbolism within the image I have chosen to recreate.

Although I don't fully understand the narrative yet as I have not read the novel.

Note the beard is shaped like a ship buoyant upon the ocean, or is it the mouth of a whale?

A tree or sail-scape is juxtaposed, what with the helmet of the bearded one amongst the shadowy clouds.

I have added light and reflection from a celestial body, but which one?

Very Mount Rushmoresque. Four faces, noses, eyes.

Parkland statue sketch.

Parkland statue sketch, unfinished. 2008

I created this sketch one afternoon while one of my friends dozed and the other two completed a lap of the park on roller blades.

To me, the drawing is incomplete.

Rather a snapshot of a statue in context.

He has a book in his hand.

I could add some watercolours.

Moreover, it is completely unfinished.

The park was full of people passing time.

In the sunshine.

It has beautiful gates and fountains and gardens.

It has a museum and cafes and sculptures.

It has joggers, skaters and rollers.

Shirkers, illusionists, musicians, and contortionists.

The tree lined avenue with the perfect gradient was closed for refurbishment.

This time around anyway.

Hail, rain, fall or shine.

The best park in the world.

Let's go around one more time!
