A new iPad app for me, iOrnament, is not quite as versatile for me to create tessellations, or as they seem to call them, nested forms. It feels like an earlier version of KaleidoPaint, Continue reading

Soccer Kid tessellation
Found another iPad App to do tessellations. Sames rules of symmetry, but with different tools. iOrnament. I’ve only played with it for a week now, but here are a few differences and advantages listed. Continue reading
KaleidoPaint is now on Android!
The Android version of KaleidoPaint is finally finished and publicly available. I would like to share this spectacular and free app with the group Broug Atelier for Islamic Geometric Design.
One line, one fill, tessellation
Symmetry group P4g, a square mirror box with a four way rotation in the middle. Very constraining to build a flowing figure within such a rigid set of rules. In the image below, starting in the middle of the square, the “x” indicates the four way rotation. Continue reading
Couch Kartoffel tessellation
Yes, Couch Kartoffel, that’s Couch Potato. A Cajun recipe. A melding of the dog and the master some insightful viewer noted. Dog in control, with the remote in paw. And it’s not the TV remote, Continue reading
The Artist tessellation
A sketch. Might clean up the lines and fills. He does look a little depressed. Poor bugger. Shit happens. Continue reading
Cuckoo Trattoria tessellation
Please, do not go out to eat at the restaurant Cuckoo Trattoria and Pizzeria out behind the Goats on the Roof, in Coombs, Vancouver Island, BC. Food poisoning! Continue reading
Hikers tessellation
Hiking in the Rockies and hiking in the Alps you meet some fine people. Good people, some chatty, some preoccupied. What struck me the most in Austria was the greeting they used. “Grüß Gott!”. Continue reading
Brodie’s new jacket tessellation
You see? This is where my hands naturally fall in place. Right here. These jacket designers went and put the pockets way back there, as if I’m a gunslinger reaching for my Colts. Continue reading
Raven’s Zen tessellation
It is difficult to tell the difference between a raven and a crow. Un corbeau ou une corneille. Corvus corax & corvus brachyrhynchos, corvus caurinus on the Island here. Or the white ravens in Qualicum Beach!
- A raven is bigger than a crow. Maybe 25% bigger?
- A raven has a ruffled throat, wicked haidoo, and stronger thicker beak than a crow… Continue reading
Mmmm Cookies, product placement models
The canines reluctantly agreed to pose, for a fee, with the product they were modelling for. Continue reading
Evolution of tessellation topics
If we look at what M.C. Escher used as topics for his tessellations, and do a quick search around the planetary neighbourhood… there is definitely an evolution and expansion that has occurred since his lifetime. Escher used to incorporate birds and fishes, reptiles, Continue reading
Squirrel Tessellation
A quickie tessellation in group Pg, built around two parallel, but different glide reflections. One of my critics said Continue reading
Cowzilla tessellation
A fantasy creature I sketched a few years ago. Refined it recently. All is not as it seems at first glance. Continue reading
Snoring dogs line tessellation
Drew a slew of these dog packs. A line symmetry system instead of a plane symmetry system. Built on a vertical stack of glide reflected dogs. Peacefully snoring, on her back, Continue reading
