Description
This Deviation is based on a knotwork Biohazard symbol I did for a T-shirt design ([link] ) - but here I've placed it in a setting where it really seems to belong. Like on the tomb of Balor, maybe. You know, one of those ancient, cryptic inscriptions which - thirty seconds too late - is translated as "You idiot, don't even THINK about opening this!"Related content

Very nice, the biohazard is one of my favorite symbols and I've always admired knotwork. The two work quite well together.

I forgot to comment on this one, too?
I never used to like the biohazard symbol, but when people make it so beautiful, it's awesome to see it.
I think you're right about it looking like an ancient symbol for danger, but when used the right way; it can be an awesome piece of art.

Biohazard is on supply and demand in my city. It's just a lack of desorientation and more epic movies. I don't disagree with anyone does that, but I require a plot for my movie.

The biohazard Symbol is great, because it's totally abstract, but somehow conveys the message, "This will mess you up!"

I've picked this image to feature in my New Year's journal featured favorites.

What a well done piece. I'm amused because I have had many people confuse a biohazard symbol I wore with celtic symbols. They are certainly related, with the three extensions and center circle, both commonly used in celtic art. I never thought to create a celtic biohazard symbol, and here you have done it with gorgeous knotwork. Brilliant!

How bizzarely unique, using the biohazard symbol as a piece of artwork.
'tis absolutely gorgeous artwork, too! I've seen people with biohazard symbols on T-shirts before but nowhere near as attractive as your design.
This is something I would definately like on my wearing apparel!

Great image, I particularly like the aging effect on the surface. And I also like your description. *L*

This is an amazing piece.
Not only because of the knotwork but also because of the texture it has...
Amazing!
Found this deviation through *TheKnotters community!

The geeky scientist part of me loves this for one reason and the part of me that loves celtic design thinks this is totally awesome
great work!

It's a pleasure to met someone who has more or less the same two personalities as I do. We do. Um.

Rarely do I ever come across an idea or a piece of art-- maybe twice a year or so-- that when I look at it I begin to think "Damn, I wish I had thought of that"
I gotta hand it to you, this is one of those. It's fashioned from two very simple ideas and the combination them just seems obvious when someone finally figures it out. There's a shirt you say? I think I'll have to expand my wardrobe then.

I like how you've combined this contemporary scientific symbol with such an archaic-looking design. Beautiful in general...

Thanks! This was part of a series, and I think the most interesting ones were those that took a recognizable symbol and filled it with knotwork. From a distance you just see the symbol, but when you get close to it, you see that there's this whole other thing going on inside it. I'm really happy with the way those worked out!

And so you should be! What a great concept - glad you're happy with it
