Last year, I made Weird Art for a friend's promotional material for his book. We handled the design in a fairly straightforward way, with funky geometry and a simple color scheme designed to burn the viewer's retinas.

But.

I had other ideas I wanted to try with the design. This monstrosity is one of the alternatives. I have unleashed my morbid fancy upon it; it is made of bones and wings and eyes and teeth. The geometry is intentionally off-kilter; this is not a nice tool for meditation; this geometry is anything but sacred! There are missing pieces. There are angles that are off. There are teethmarks on the bones... (though I don't think you can see them at this scale and resolution).

I plan to color this. I'm not yet certain of the color scheme, but I'm planning for "dark" generally. The wings will be like those of a macaw, but will use blue-black instead of bright blue as the base. The central design will probably be bone-colors on blackish red. But you never know. I may go in a totally different direction.

...I need to set it aside for a while. It gives me a headache if I stare at it for too long...

I used Photoshop to help me with the layout and geometric forms, then printed it very lightly, then drew in the details with pencil, then went over the pencil lines with Micron pens.
