Spiraling away
I posted one of my original drawings on Etsy today. It’s actually an older piece, inspired by a quote of a quote. The quote as I first encountered it was in Caitlin Kiernan’s Threshold about extra-dimensional bogey beasts, and it was a quote taken from an Algernon Blackwood story called “The Willows”, also about extra-dimensional bogey beasts, although with a different tone and background.
The quote: “Our thoughts make spirals in their world . . .”
It inspired this mixed-media drawing, where I tried a large-scale stippling technique and added some minor collage for the spiraling eyes. Gold ink was washed over the nautilus shell in the background.
