I was dissatisfied with my previous attempt at a Fibonacci Spiral – it was too busy-, so I’ve made a new, improved version. Marvel at the beautiful geometry the Gold Ratio can create!

NaBloPoMo
Posted by Laurel Green on November 1st, 2009 at 2:51 pm
NaBloPoMo stands for “National Blog Posting Month”. It’s basically just an event where you post every day for a month. This year, I’ve decided to participate, because, honestly, I really need to post some more content up on this blog. So, check back every day, this month, for new content!
… Also, I really want to win one of the Sock Zombies.
Line Art
Posted by Laurel Green on October 26th, 2009 at 4:18 pmI was digging through my archives and I found these crazy line drawings that I did years ago.
They’re not as crazy as they look. Once you get the hang of “Snap To Grid” you can pop one of these guys out in like 30 minutes. (Click the thumbnails for bigger, if you dare. Muahahah…)
This one above here is a completely new one that I made yesterday. The hardest part was the Fibonacci Spiral, because it involved taking six circles, chopping them up and attaching them together.
Pixel Binge
Posted by Laurel Green on October 9th, 2009 at 7:22 amI’ve been having pangs of nostalgia lately, so I made some animated .gif’s in 16 amazing colours. (Actually, I didn’t even use all 16. Shhhh… Don’t tell anyone.)
Set this as your background in Windows 3.1 and prepare to have your mind blown!
Or, use this slight variation. It has circles!
When they were choosing the 16 colours, why didn’t they make one of them orange? Was it a hardware issue? 386′s just couldn’t process orange? They had four blues!
I think there should be a way to capitalize numbers for the beginning of sentences. That one sentence looks weird.
Digital Doodlez: Bad Hair Day
Posted by Laurel Green on September 16th, 2009 at 8:31 pm
Since I’m no good at digital art, I will be doing digital doodles for a while. This is a doodle of someone with very bad hair.
And here is me drawing “Bad Hair Day”… er… Sorta. The thing seems to have had brain troubles
Magazine Stars

I tried to make some stars out of tin foil, but it didn’t work out. I made the stars out of magazine pages, instead.

Amigurumi

Amigurumi is the ancient Japanese art of knitting or crocheting things that are cute or, if you will, “kawaii”.
Here, I have crocheted an amigurumi mushroom. I shall make a place for in amongst the clutter of my desk.
I can’t decide whether or not to give it googly eyes.

Colour and Texture Test

I picked up some texture mediums on a trip through the US and this is me testing them out.
By the by, if anyone has a large format scanner they don’t need anymore, I could haul it away for you, maybe?

Glass Beads

Basically, you take those cylinders of glass on the right, melt them with a very hot flame, wrap the molten glass around a mandrel and hope that you don’t burn and/or set yourself on fire.
