DA old timers  

Well, they'll squrl ya when
you're walking all alone. They'll
squrl ya when you're talking on
.
the phone. They'll squrl ya
when you're flying round the world;
EVERYbody must
.
get squrl'd !

good thing you said "yet"
Eameshead. my squrl had just stepped

Choices have consequences ! Now, let's see what we can do with today's ensemble . . .
Huh. That was easy.

mister squrl returns
perhaps he was out buying
new pants. or hair weave

or test driving mark's

Plus, SDR
I'd wear this sweet pair of love
in that rubber squrl.

Hi.
Aunt Mark
ps (edit) Hermes. Hi.

Sweet. I'm drawn to those colors. In late 1990 I was playing with gridded paper and home-made stamps:

Oh I like that SDR!
Best,
Aunt Mark
ps. Is today your birthday? or was it 11/16? Let's just pretend that it's today. Happy Birthday. And I like my shorts today. Hi.

Mmm -- I do too. I don't think I'd find anything to match it. The belt is nice, too. The shirt -- raspberry ?
11/16 -- thank you, luv. 74th year -- my goodness.

SDR's nice grids
late century "process" art?
hand made rubber stamps
.
or do you think it
more as "P and D"? … "pattern
and decoration"
.
or "minimalist"?
but much more warm and human
evil in labels
.
I catagorize
only to ask how you think
of your art context
.
"P and D" or "grid"
can't come close to describing
what mark calls his pants

((((( ~~~~~~~ )))))
Quite nice, SDR
such talent not your birthday
I'm digging them, Yes!

Hello,
Aunt Mark

Thank you, and good-bye.
I brightened and corrected
the colors on two,
.
one of which is a
replacement. I had fun with
these -- should do some more !

Thanks. Examples like those were steps on a journey toward something more dynamic than static pattern -- though there's nothing wrong with pattern in any form, of course. The examples below illustrate, weakly, the gist of my quest: overlaid patterns of different frequencies with the aim of creating complexity not randomly generated -- "non-arbitrary complexity." The repeats in these patterns are much larger than the paper I drew or stamped on -- except for the gold one.
Everyone has always said "perfect for the computer" -- but in ten years on the Mac I have yet to find a ready means of doing that. Animators like John Whitney ("Digital Harmony") have gone much further in the field than I have. Animating these grids would be the final goal, for me.
The first two patterns are from a series I made after discovering triangular-grid (isometric) "paper" on the Internet, a couple of years ago. Those were drawn with straight-edge and ball-point pen . . .

cool how much can be
said with notion of offset
thank you SDR
.
I often work so
hard to make things look random
when random the're not
.
when asked if nature
inspired him, Jack Pollock
said "I AM nature"
.
coke bottles and fag
butts were found in his paintings
some footprints also

Thank you. Over at
Wright Chat we're debating the
propriety of
.
the after-the-fact
imposition of a grid
floor pattern, to the
.
arced and curved footprint
of the Norman Lykes desert
residence. It has
.
to be done all at
once, by the same hand, to work.
No one ADDs to Jack !
