  1. Serap Ekizler Sonmez's books on Islamic geometry are great fun to work through, because they assume a baseline level of familiarity with geometric construction, so often there are missing steps that I have to figure out myself. Usually I can do that. Sometimes, however, it really does feel like 'draw the rest of the fucking owl'.

  2. I have completed an Art! This is an early 16th century Iznik design modeled from a tile in the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, featured as Pattern Study 3 in Esra Almahal's superb book on Islamic Biomorphic patterns.

    Holbein gouache (CMY pallette ftw!) on Arches cold-pressed watercolor paper.
