» Kimono , February 15th, 2007
I’m always surprised visually, when I sit down and take simple forms into these generative systems. The abstraction of these objects with other objects when they overlap creates this wonderful texture. But it’s always a process of elimination… as you’ll see from the following set of drawings, I draw tons of stuff that never gets used. In particular, the sea shells, the fan, the umbrella, etc.
It’s about trying to find which drawings harmonize with other drawings in these dynamic compositions.
Here are some of the drawings I did… pulled out of some of my favorite books on Kimonos that I have collected over the past few years while traveling through Asia.
hello i love your drawings there really good i could only draw ok but your drawings r wow good keep up the hard work!!!!!!!!
great pictures!
Your drawing style is reminded of “Danchung(Red and Blue)” of Asian temple in Korea.
I admire your open source approach. I hope you can keep track of all the people that takes a creative leap because of your progress.
Respect!

Good work of shapes but also a very good work of colors.
How do you chose that damn wonderful colors sets?
The symbols generate the own color by itself or all the composition is due to a process that place the symbols one over another and give them one color?
Anders 5% to 10% rework in Illustrator…
For this piece - just the gradient glows and the background gradient was the only thing manually added to this output.
Great stuff, I was wondering how much do you manually add afterwards in Illustrator - if any?
Grazie !!!
just amazing as usual. i love this harmony.
