Thanks Grindy,
Most of my framed up pieces were left either in Saint Cloud, Minnesota when I left there. I just left the ones up on the walls for my roommates. Plus when I moved from Iowa to Connecticut, I threw a bunch of paintings away because my little car was full and couldnt fit.

Here is what I grabbed off my old instagram, I had to throw it away from the canvas getting ruined in the sun in my car

I can't put my finger on why I've never been huge on Ernst though. Something about his colour choice or the way he does detail I think. Dali's more flamboyant approach is more my speed.

This is NOT my best work but its better than the crazy stuff I painted on it first. So I painted the whole thing yellow and did Metatron's cube over it. It was almost 5 years in the making for this though. Used fancy yellow and black paint, paint markers, plus weak white and red paint. That other painting on the ground I did years ago but its a Steve Jobs quote. I have a dream of painting a bunch more on canvas and selling on my website but just havent yet. Still dont know what to paint but Im going to make it a goal to get something new started after I put the finish touching up on this one. May paint over them 4 elements symbols because they just seem out of place. But the goal is to have this finished soon and put for sale on my website. May put up that Steve Jobs one also.

Thanks! That is really cool, thanks for making it. I saved it.I created Metatron's cube in MasterCAM but didnt color it in after

That only took 10 mins?! The stuff I did in MasterCAM took me weeks to get the circles all perfect

It probably would have been less if I didn't get sidetracked by someone wanting some actual work done.

The process:

12" dia circle
Array middle circles
Array outer circles
Pline to outer circle centers
Offset to outer circles tangent
Create lines in middle circles using centerpoints/rotate
Export linework to PDF
Bring PDF into Photoshop for color matching
Export to PNG
Post it up here
