Catch Up

Summer session is well underway and I'm teaching Web development and Multimedia design. A four week session goes amazingly fast and on Wednesday we will be at mid term :')

I haven't taught web design in a while and it's fascinating how quickly html code disappears from short term memory. Pushed out by CMYK issues no doubt.

Seamless repeating tiles are one of my pet obsessions. I have a collection on my computer in the states that includes sushi and hello kitty in a kimono. Awhile back when the Illustration Friday topic was “under the sea” I got into a discussion with Erik about Escher tiles and the techniques behind a hexagonal repeat.

Infinite patience on his part and several images back and forth led to the pattern posted at the top. The desaturated blue one is currently my desktop pattern, the original was a little hard on the eyes. The flowers and the knotted fishies are Eriks little demos for Kate the math challenged.

Cheers - all of the fishies tile effortlessly if you want to down load.
