It’s so exciting to have the Spectre tile so soon after the hat. Here is the website for this wonderful discovery!

To celebrate I doodled tiles of Ghost Jellyfish tonight. I imagined them just touching the edges of each tile with their tentacles. There are 9 tiles, where the odd ones are bubbles.

9 tiles repeated of white ghost jellyfish and bubbles of various sizes and orientations following the spectre tiling. There is a dark background of blues and blacks.

Here are the individual tiles as translucent pngs – feel free to play with them.

9 oystercatchers in a mandala packing pearls around an earth reflection in a larger pearl.

Microcosm Oystercatchers

Here is another bird in the series – Microcosm Oystercatchers. These are one of my favorite birds. I often see them in the black basalt cobbles on the coast with their fluorescent beaks. I had a hard time with where I wanted to go with this piece initially and went back to gaskets (something I […]
