Ink Pattern Shorts
Description: I started this mini-series back in 2016 and, honestly, didn't know what the end result would be. At the time, I was just cranking them because they were fun to do, and I completed one within a few hours. The majority of the Skulls and Buddhas series are either 4x6 or 5x7 inches. It always seemed to me that the symbolism of skulls and the Buddha (in a meditative pose) is similar. In the practice of sitting meditation, we confront the inescapable reality of impermanence, and the skull often symbolizes mortality. The simple fact that we will have to face our own last breath.
Description: A chessboard rendered in expressive white ink brushstrokes, featuring a structured grid of alternating squares in a clean minimalist composition. Textured marks, irregular edges, and monochrome contrast emphasize the recognizable geometric form of the chess board against dark backgrounds. A chess-inspired design for chess players, chess enthusiasts, board game lovers, strategy game fans, and admirers of expressive monochrome artwork. Suitable for apparel, accessories, stickers, notebooks, mugs, and home décor.
Description: A honeycomb rendered in expressive black ink brushstrokes, featuring a cluster of irregular hexagonal cells formed through loose broken lines and visible brush texture. The familiar geometric structure is simplified into a sparse monochrome composition with an intentionally imperfect, organic character. Inspired by honeycomb, natural patterns, hexagonal forms, and structures found in nature, this design explores familiar geometry through loose expressive brushwork. Designed for nature lovers, beekeeping enthusiasts, pattern admirers, and collectors of minimalist black ink artwork.
