  2. Neat, reminds me of part of the gigastructure. How is the Dark Heresy game going BTW?

  3. CU grads represent! I particularly like the two on the left--they remind me of circuit boards, but not the garden-variety electrically conductive ones. Any plans for them?

  4. Is that something like a frottage technique on the top right? I am not referring to the sexual act.

    nope, what I did was:

    1. I painted a bunch of geometric shapes on unprimed (white) paper

    2. then painted -over- everything I just painted in opaque black (completely covering up the painting,--so it's an all black painting but it's thick enough that it still leaves some impasto)

    3. then I painted over the whole thing with a thin white wash--this wash clung to the outlines of the original geometric patterns, making the "archaelogical"-looking shapes.

    4. Then I painted in the black and green around that.
