Worm 2. I really didn't know if I should stop or keep going with this one. I might add to it later and see if I like it better. Any thoughts? Good like this, or keep adding?

A tribute to the marvellous BBC Radio 4 show Add To Playlist. 500 tunes, expertly dissected. And just ONE heavy metal track - that was all I needed!

Back to a full page circle draw. I like how the moire effect makes these somewhat disconcerting. So why not pushing that further by using red and blue to make it clash even ore.

Going even further than the previous post. Full page. I think there needs to be more white on the page but Liz thought this one was great.

Trying out a #zentangle style. You can see I wasn't consistent on the spacing. I do like the effect though, but I think I prefer the more organic style. These feel a little "forced" (to me, anyway) #abstractart #fineline

Concentric Circles. I like how the intent to do perfect circles disintegrates the further you get away from the centre. #abstractart #fineline

Love these ethical perspectives from Lauren Klein and Tanvi Sharma at #outlier2025.

Timely. We'll be mentioning Neurath in Chart Chat this week. There's a chart in The Handmaid's Tale that's a direct reference to ISOTYPE
