# About me

Hi

Thanks for visiting my page - I hope you enjoy what you see. Please get in touch to discuss ideas, as the main reason I'm on here is to discover other artists with ideas that are new to me (and to share mine). My main areas of work and interest are:

M C Escher
Experiments with perspective
Fisheye distortion
Curvilinear perspectives
Trefoil / torus knots
Stereoscopic projections
Skeletal polyhedra
Stellated polyhedra
Freehand mathematical sketches (i.e. not computer-generated)
Freehand symmetry
Architectural / technical drawing

I also have a blog with some more work at www.tomholliday.com. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi Tom, I'm a fan of Escher's work too, although just an amature at perspectives. Take a look at my Ink folder and Misc in my gallery if you want!

I already have, and I really liked your drawings! I like the way a lot of your drawings have rotational symmetry and some others have fantastic attention to detail. I just looked at "City 1" as well and it rocks! I'm going to put that in my favourites!

Thanks

oh thanks, Im really glad you like them!
(I think more detail makes the viewer look for longer.) I appreciate your comment mate and be watching for any new awesome fisheye stuff you do!

Wow! Welcome to DA and to the Escher Style club in particular. Have you any larger versions of your rather excellent stuff?

Hiya

Thanks for the welcome. Most of what you see here is just A4 or smaller. I tend to start sketching on the back of letters & envelopes and then they grow and I always wish I'd started on proper paper. The prison and church ones are on proper A3 cartridge paper though.

To put them on here, I just took photos of them on my iPhone and uploaded them so they're pretty rubbish quality. If anyone ever asked me to make higher resolution scans of any of them, I'd be happy to.

Get a better quality resolution posted! For me, especially of the architectural sketches, they look awesome.

Higher resolution pic added. Sorry it took so long! I lost the edges because when I scanned it, it didn't fit on the scanner and I realised too late!

Cheers
