Playing with a wandering pattern for today's #inkyDays drawing.
Iterating over yesterdays pattern, and exploring possibilities.
Here's a work-in-progress shot.
Another day, another playful iteration of this pattern.
Here's an in-progress shot.
Yes, that's the glass dipping pen I do my drawing with.
I'm having fun with these iterations.
Here's an in-progress shot of today's #inkyDays drawing.

I suppose I should start playing with new patterns, but I'm still having fun with variations on this one.

Today, I am at home and able to play with my inks again. My drawing represents my cancer tumor and how it has now been surgically removed. Thankfully in recovery now.
I've posted the drawings I did while in the hospital on my patreon and ko-fi.

Today seemed like a happy little fishies day. So I drew some.
Some dancing starfish for today's #inkyDays drawing. With my recovery from surgery, I can't really dance yet, but I'm dancing on the inside.
Here's an in-progress shot.
And that's a wrap for this month's daily drawings. In-progress and complete drawings for this month are now all posted for my supporters on patreon and kofi in this month's #inkyDays posts:

Today's #inkyDays drawing is inspired by one of my single-pen drawings I did post-op in the hospital. I shared it in last month's post.
Here's an in-progress shot.
It's a new month, so I've started new posts for my daily drawings and thoughts on Patron and Ko-fi:

Some happy little squiggles, formed with nodes and curving paths in a semi-random walk, for today's #inkyDays drawing.

Today, I felt like drawing membranes. The ink I chose for the phospholipids was a lot lighter than my usual inks, and things got pastel pretty fast.
Then, the story emerged. I've posted it for my supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi:

Thinking about imaginary places with waterways and big green spaces while working on today's #inkyDays drawing.
Here's an in-progress shot.
Playing with inspiration from a fading flower. Turning my observation into an abstraction and then thinking abut how these patterns might fit into a diagram structure.

Playing with adding a delicate fill, of very diluted blue ink, to this delicate pattern. I think I'm liking it, kinda. Not sure yet.
On the health front, my recovery continues to go well and I feel stronger every day.

Playing with aurora pink for today's drawing. I didn't get to see it in last night's sky, here in San Francisco, sadly. I could have sworn there was a slightly pink tint to the sky, but it was probably just wishful thinking.

Playing with a network of puff balls and beads in today's #inkyDays drawing.
Here's an in-progress shot.
Inspiration for today's #inkyDays drawing came from a photo of lichen that showed up in my timeline this morning.
Here's an in-progress shot.
Returning to this pattern, but in a different ink, for today's #inkyDays drawing. The gradient is a little more visible in this ink.

Before starting today's #inkyDays drawing, I saw some posts about World Bee Day. So, I decided to draw some dancing bees, even though I drew some a few days ago.
Here's an in-progress shot.
Drawing a squiggly wiggly imaginary creature for today's #inkyDays drawing.
I managed to finish it just before my first at-home blood-draw visit, which was quick and easy. He was wearing a mask, which put me at ease right away.
Here's an in-progress shot.
Playing with this chemistry inspired network pattern for today's #inkyDays drawing.
The ants are feeling artsy in today's #inkyDays drawing.
I'm feeling artsy too.
Absolutely loved the Kusama rooms at SFMOMA today, and managed a selfie of sorts. So glad the timing worked out.
Walking around looking at art was a lot more fun than my usual recovery walks. Now I'm exhausted.
Worth it!
I couldn't resist playing with patterns of that room.
Not too bad for a first try, but not too good either. I may play with it more, when I'm more rested.
David JONES@kristinHenry these both remind me of the green tentacle in the 1987 video game Maniac Mansion. Though that seems an unlikely direct source.
@drj happy coincidence? Still great :)
Yesterday, I made the trek downtown to the SFMOMA to see the Kusama installation. I wasn't sure if the timing would work out, since I wasn't sure if I'd be recovered enough to walk around a museum before the show closed.
I loved it! Totally exhausted me, but it was worth it!
The shapes and colors in one of the rooms got right into my imagination, and I've been playing with the shapes in my own drawings.
Having fun with this pattern and adding puff-balls to them.
Here's an in-progress shot.
These are so satisfying to draw! Trying some different colors in today's #inkyDays drawing.
Here's an in-progress shot.
The colors really pop in the finished drawing, which I've posted for my supporters on Ko-fi and Patreon: https://ko-fi.com/post/InkyDays-May-2024-V7V6XLITF

Imagining I'm looking up from the middle of a bunch of these, or maybe looking down on a cluster with support struts?
Here's an in-progress shot.
Experimenting with introducing a network to this pattern. Not sure if I like it, but it's still sort of interesting.
Here's an in-progress shot.
I was late drawing today, and I was inspired by the news to draw a happy dancing starfish. A pink starfish, of course.

Wow, this has been a big month for me...recovering from cancer surgery, and continued tests, and so on.
To celebrate getting through this all, I'm drawing a happy orange floral today.

Having fun with my metallic pigment in today's #inkyDays drawing.
I'm really loving this color combination these days. Life is short, so I'm going to play with the colors I want to play with when I want to play with them.
Still having fun with this, and experimenting with taking it in different directions. Polka dots are so addictive to draw.
I seem to have forgotten to post yesterday's drawing here. Oh well, it's on my Patreon and Ko-fi, if you're curious.

Or maybe it's what an octopus sees sometimes?

KristinHenryI also played with the patterns on watercolor paper. At first, I thought the drawing should be up and down.
But turning the paper, it looks much better with the shapes stretching across.
