The beautifully poetic class Duotone Tangling is now available in video format for individual purchase. This video class includes how to use a “landscape string” and how to create contrast using two inking pens of different colors. It also shows how to use grafting and how to organicize tangles to make them resemble plants.
Read MoreFinally managed to get something done in a different color palette! This is inspired by a photo I took of the Pantages theatre here in Los Angeles, I extracted a string with some large triangular points. Inside I added Crescent Moon, outside Moonpie on a path and some tiny Opus. Tangled using Inktense paint pads and Pitt brush pens with a waterbrush.
Read MoreStarting a new series of rectangular postcards in color. These seem similar to the Journal Tiles I’ve been making but they are actually made in a completely different way, tangling with inks using a waterbrush. This forces me to work extremely large, something quite unusual for me and yet here is still tons of room for tiny tangling and hatching.
Read MoreYesterday I had a wonderful class with the Clubbers called Duotone Tangling, where we created art using two different pens, black and another color. We included grafting, foreshortening, organicize and some other fun enhancers. Tangles were: Dillo-tant (L. Goldman), Tipple, Bales, and an organicized version of Moonpie. In this post you can also see the pop-up card I made with similar language and visuals.

I enjoyed it so much I created this other picture that reminds me of a landscape with trees in front. This project definitely coming to Art Club very soon.
Read MoreThis mandala took me a LOOOONG time. I was determined to NOT use a pencil for shading, only ink. After testing the ballpoint shading technique over another tile, I set out to shade this monster. It took me 4 days but was worth it, the depth achieved by the ballpoint is remarkable.
Read MoreAbout 12 days ago I participated in a CZT After Hours session conducted by Rashim “Dolly” Bhargava where we developed a star and filled it in with tangles. The project was in color, but I went a little rogue an made a black and white interpretation using Betweed, Verve and Moon pie.
Read MoreHere's my second contribution to the To You Tangle 2023 using Flux. I had been recently exploring ways to make Flux more 3D through the use of contour lines, so this was the perfect opportunity to explore this.
