Quasicrystals are highly structured patterns which are not periodic. Unlike the crystalline structure of e.g. hexagons, a quasicrystal will never line up perfectly with a shifted copy of itself. Here such a structure is created as the interference pattern between 7 waves approaching the centre of the image at equal angles. The 2011 Nobel prize in Chemistry was awarded for the discovery of quasicrystals in chemical compounds.

“Hmm. This slug came out a little funny.”
“Whoa, evolution, what the hell?”
“I don’t know. I think I may have mixed something up on the camouflage gene.”
“You think?”
“I was distracted.”
“Well, you can’t just put that in the undergrowth, it’ll get eaten in like two seconds.”
“What should I do with it, then?”
“I don’t know. Throw it in Australia with the rest of the unspeakably bizarre stuff, I guess.”
Fashion interaction.
Constrvct is a user-generated fashion label that transforms your images into digital textiles, and then sews your fabric into clothes.
This recent design — rendered as a sleeveless dress — just might be the most inspiring yet. After successfully funding a private beta test of the process through Kickstarter, the creators have opened up their idea to the general public.

Good Omens cover (front, back, spine and wings) for Book Illustration. I wanted to go back to my flat style for a bit just to see how else I could use it (and also the fact that I haven’t used it at all since coming back to school from winter break, which is just plain weird).
Aziraphale and his cocoa on the front; Crowley with tea on the back.
