Warp Matrix of the Inadvertent Aliens Drawing

Tap into the patterns of the universal. Concentrate inwardly, feel the connection to something greater, universal, timeless. Life is an emanation of the pattern that is in and of the essence of all that we try to label as ´things.` The mind may meld with the greater ineffable and ever present truth. Concentrate, reveal, assimilate, relax: They are not here to hurt you. They are of you as you are of the universe. A moment of revelation is later questioned: Are they aliens or trans-dimensional beings? Faaip de Oiad on Lateralus was a scared human misinterpretation of a greater force of good. Look it up. Ha ha...either way, Tool is not music. Tool is Tool, and that is my muse. Most folks don´t plan to have an encounter with aliens. In many reports, they reveal themselves in strange ways. Given that I am a sceptic (despite having fun with wordplay), maybe the only strange encounters with aliens that I will have will be when they inadvertently manifest from me aligning small square designs on graph paper, and then applying my line weight gradient drawing `algorithm.´ So yes, in honest terms, the `aliens´ are simply a fluke from lining up a simple line pattern on graph paper. I liked how it looked, and then after about 60 hours of drawing this was the result. Before this drawing I had mostly based my images on vertical line arrangements. As initially, I had wanted to achieve results with media that were unashamedly 2-dimensional. However, I had liked the preliminary results from my earlier piece, `Blotter Emanation Mandala,´ (upload pending) so I decided to pursue another piece using various angles and arrangements. As per my usual line weight gradient shading that I use, the many lines were first drawn. Then in a rather painstaking dedication to refinement, I smoothed each join with a micro-tip, archival pen. (Zoom or see detailed pictures attached for examples). The result is still bluntly 2-dimensional, but achieves a labyrinthine result from the interplay of relatively simple compositional elements.
