keeps vis.social runningToday 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:

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.

Inspiration for today's #inkyDays drawing came from a photo of lichen that showed up in my timeline this morning.

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.
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.

Triangles and polka-dots for today's #inkyDays drawing. The colors turned out a bit angry. Oh well.

InarticulateQuilter@kristinHenry getting organic gears, which is a fascinating concept
@inarticulatequilter I love it when the pattern comes through like that....I just do what the pen wants :)
EpikurasVery nice but it reminds me more of #Heinlein's #Lifeline idea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life-Line
which I believe inspired the excellent #PeterBoyle episode of #Xfiles
Mieke Siemons@kristinHenry love this drawing.
@miekesiemons thank you :)
Fractal Kitty@kristinHenry beautiful
@fractalkitty thank you :)
@kristinHenry now wondering what music starfish dance to
@inarticulatequilter they have very eclectic taste in music.
This pair seems to me to be dancing to Dixie land jazz...or maybe a lively Allan Toussaint drag?
:D
@inarticulatequilter Here's a fun one from Toussaint https://tidal.com/browse/track/61337441/u
@kristinHenry husband’s asleep next to me, I’ll have to listen tomorrow
Love the idea of starfish dancing to Dixieland, little New Orleans funerals under the sea
@kristinHenry that was a fun one! I joined the starfish dance for that number
NullNoMore@kristinHenry - those are satisfyingly round
