Similar topic — similar colour scheme. Great combinations and potential. And of course, one of my favourite topics — the dogs in our homes.

#Zentangle #Cadent as a #tessellation
Having fun with a few Zentangle patterns. This one is called #Cadent. A simple grid of circles is all that is needed to get going with this pattern. If you are drawing it by hand, link identical S curves between all the dots in a cascading chain of repetition, then rotate 90 degrees and repeat in this new direction.

Pentagonal Derivative #Tessellations
Pentagon grids
Pentagonal Derivative #Tessellations: just a short fancy way of saying that I used a grid built up of pentagons to come up with these two designs. It was quite a blast and a struggle last year (it’s not yet a complete project) to re-create all of the ways that a surface (plane) can be equally divided using pentagons. Continue reading
Tessellation Artists around the Globe
Artists
Updated 2023-11-02:
Since M.C. Escher started popularizing “nested shape” tessellations, many artist have dabbled in the field. Some show a passing interest, yet still create with a very deep understanding of the rules of symmetry. Others can’t get enough and create constantly in this art form.

Superb video
A mesmerizing video by the Zaragoza University’s Math Institute that I must share with you. It deals with the underlying geometry behind many universal designs. 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.
Why tessellations?
I’m just a kid that still likes to draw. From early on, in the crib, with any available medium. Fortunately back then, oil-based wall paint was easily washable. Continue reading
Panther Tessellation — Symétruc panthère
A challenge to help my Nephew understand the basic rules of tessellations for a math class. Wish I had been fortunate enough to get an opportunity like this when I was a teen. La leçon est en français à part de ça! Continue reading
28 tessellations up on Society6
Received my cups from society6. Ever cool to see my designs printed on these coffee cups. Continue reading
A few of my Tessellations
Which symmetry group to use?
Deciding which symmetry group to use for a specific design can be hit and miss. And try again. You can narrow it down Continue reading
Symmetry Group Pm – alternating parallel mirrors
This symmetry group is the last one for me to tackle. It has been a year since I started tessellating again, since I found the KaleidoPaint iPad app. Continue reading
Symmetry Group P6m — Perfect Snowflakes
It’s been a year last week, since I started drawing with the KaleidoPaint iPad app. I was avoiding this P6m symmetry group because of the tight space for drawing within and the abundance of mirrors. Continue reading
Symmetry Group P4g
My first ever tessellation was accomplished using this P4g symmetry group. Continue reading
Symmetry Group Pg — For all Soccer Fans
This symmetry group uses two parallel glide reflections. The glides can be either vertical or horizontal. Continue reading
