          Custom skull. Wife bought neva blank vinyl skull. Decided to customise it with a Karajishi botan design using marker. Difficult to photograph!

                    @adam313  The best part about your beautiful work is, I have no idea how you make it. It adds to the mystique 🙂

                      Thank you chief!

                      I have a few photos that could help illustrate the process.  These poor iphone pics weren't taken with a "step-by-step" sequence in mind (more just as a reference photo to keep me thinking while I'm at work), and I don't have photos of each stage, but hopefully these might give an idea of the evolution that the paper has gone through.  It's much like a pair of jeans hopefully, in that the paper reflects the life it has lived…Thanks for looking!

                            So I would love some impressions, any impressions, bad, good, it all helps….I'm trying out some new possibilities.

                            This is going to be a new type of series for me -- as opposed to the artwork in the above post ^^^ which is more like a smorgasbord of colored pencil -- this series will be more focused and minimal.

                            Still in progress but close...

                                  Much appreciation, @Black Orchid!

                                  It's getting closer…

                                  And this is the cotton paper pulp that gets ripped up during the process of drawing lines and writing/scribbling…

                                            Thank you @adam313

                                            That is such a wonderful and unique process. I love it. Thank you so much for sharing and giving us a glimpse into your process.

                                            I think I know of a tool that you might find useful. I recently got myself a pair of these and they seem to have unlimited applications for people who use circles in their work. http://windfiredesigns.com/Tools/CircleTool/index.html
