Polar Graph Art : Set A // Quickgraph

I got this handy app on my phone called ‘Quick Graph’ which seems to work quite well for sketching polar graph art equations. It’s not as powerful by any means as Mac Grapher, but it works well for experimenting with different mathematical shape dynamics. Here are some designs produced waiting for the bus over the past few weeks. Images were run off the smart phone through Instragram.

r=0.25+\cos \left( \theta \cdot 2 \right)^{2}+\frac{\mbox{ceil}\left( \left( \mbox{abs}\left( \cos \left( \theta \cdot 4+\frac{\pi }{2} \right) \right)\cdot 2 \right) \right)}{2}+\min \left( \left( \cos \left( \theta \cdot 2 \right)^{512} \right),0.8 \right)

Egyptian Patterns Vol. 1

WORLD PATTERNS – Here is a collection of royalty free patterns from ancient Egypt :

›› world.patterns/egypt-V1 ( folder of PNGs )
›› egypt-V1.zip ( ZIP of PNGs )

WIKIPEDIA – “Inspired by the cycles of nature, the Egyptians saw time in the present as a series of recurring patterns, whereas the earliest periods of time were linear. Myths are set in these earliest times, and myth sets the pattern for the cycles of the present. Present events repeat the events of myth, and in doing so renew maat, the fundamental order of the cosmos. Amongst the most important episodes from the mythic past are the creation myths, in which the gods form the universe out of primordial chaos.

Chakra Symbols

CHAKRA SYMBOLS – This set of the traditional chakra symbols also includes a new age ‘thymus chakra / ethereal heart’ in the set, completing the set of 8. Each symbol is rendered with three slightly divergent variations in form.

›› CHAKRAS.ai ( Adobe Illustrator )
›› CHAKRAS.svg ( SVG Vector )
›› CHAKRAS.png ( PNG )

Also, if you would like to make modifications to the chakra symbols, here is the working file which also contains a host of leftovers from the symbol construction process:
›› CHAKRAS-WORKING.ai ( Adobe Illustrator )

In case it’s a mystery to you what chakras are, read on :

WIKIPEDIA – The chakras are wheel-like vortices which, according to traditional Indian medicine, exist in the surface of the subtle body of living beings. The chakras are “force centers” or whorls of energy permeating, from a point on the physical body, the layers of the subtle bodies in an ever-increasing fan-shaped formation. Rotating vortices of subtle matter, they are considered focal points for the reception and transmission of energies. Read More ››

Robert Venosa Passes On

We received sad news from Venosa’s wife, an extraordinary artist in her own right, Martina Hoffmann:

ROBERT VENOSA
January 21, 1936 to August 9, 2011

Dear Friends and Community,

A great soul has completed his earthly journey and graduated to the next level.

The great Venosa left his body on Tuesday August 9, 2011 at 6:56 PM.

His transition was graceful and accomplished in the same composed and calm manner that he exuded throughout his life.

Qalien DNA

In this prototype Alien DNA genome sequence, each nucleotide is constructed within a 1:1 grid matrix of 3×6 points with a total of 18 points of potentiality per node.

Even within this limited grid, the potential design possibilities per unit are approximately 3.93464081 × 1022. From this field of possibilities, an array of just 32 unique characters were selected.
