I strive for the combination of beauty and something disturbing - thank you!

I love how this in its abstract form creates images. I'm very intrigued by your technique.. could you perhaps describe how you make this liquefied and runny look (is it simply due to a special fluidness of these acrylic inks - I'm not familiar with them)?
Beautiful work.

Thanks for commenting, I'm glad you like the effect! The look does indeed come from the special consistency of the inks, although it took me some time to achieve a level of control without having everything look like one big mess. I make use of water misters and hair dryers too as part of the process.

Thanks for answering! Yeah, I can imagine that the technique demands quite some practice and intuition to get the wanted result. I'll definitely keep the acrylic inks in mind!

This is wonderful. I can imagine various orchestra pieces with it; it's really music transformed into colour.

I know I've been gone awhile - I was actually living in Egypt for several months with my fiance. We are back in Chicago and I owe a journal update to let everyone know what's been going on with me

weird, i see the yellow and white as a melody floating over the blue chord progression which has some red dissonance bridging the gap between melody and chord structure. nice work
