I just found these half-finished pieces in my sketchbook that I’ve forgotten to finish. I should finish them.

While I was flicking through the images on my laptop a very strange thing happened to the portrait drawing. I started rotating it in Windows Image Viewer and on each 90° turn the image started degrading. Then it started saturating itself, before eventually blurring into the threshold colour mess you see below.

Now I realise that most of the operations available in Windows Image Viewer are lossy (it transforms, reapplies the compression algorithm and then re-saves over the original), but the effect was quite ridiculous/amazing in only about 1800°. I quite like it. I think it looks like some thermal imaging paper baked in the oven.

I’m planning to attend the Copenhagen Ruby Brigade meeting tomorrow night. I think they switch meetings to English should people of limited Danish fluency turn up. I hope this is true.

I have an illustration in a Copenhagen magazine called Bitchslap, but they spelt my name wrong. There is also a small feature on Spoiled Milk. You can read the whole of issue six online if you’d like to (it’s in English).
