...when I was being tortured... #5 — Description
more variations on the metatron "fruit of life" and "flower of life" symbols. more "one liner" tricks transforming "hell" into "heal" and "curse" into "cure." also some other curvilinear shapes and water shapes. the water drops are definitely tears and also rain drops.
I discovered that the "fruit of life" circles can become insect or animal shapes! lol
there are some depictions of cannabis which I used later to pantomime rolling joints and loading bongs for my own amusement and placebo effects. I am now banned from possesing cannabis for a year as part of my legal agreement with the state of Oregon to have this criminal record expunged at the end of the agreement timeframe...
positive and negative space are effective design principles with pen and ink illustrations. it's fun to leave some of the canvas unmarked to create color-shapes and light effects. it's also amazing how an ink pen or a pencil can create gradients, value, hue and saturation with different line qualities of the same color.
