Do I understand what I was doing here? No.
Am I obsessed with the colors and textures? Absolutely!

I'm not wild about IG. My only reason for staying on is keeping up with artist friends who aren't on other sites or have their own website. Otherwise, I would've completely abandoned it a long time ago.

Did my best to recreate some linework from two pages of the 14th century Pearl Manuscript which is the source for the story 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight'. I want to get one of these designs as a tattoo but I'm not sure which one
