Upcoming exhibit:

“When you hold [them], it’s mildly perturbing in a cognitive sense primarily because of [their] hexagonal shape, which your whole hand infers based on years of thumb, index, and middle finger experience.

April 24 – June 14, 2026

My favorites include the “ink” and “watercolor” tools, as described here: https://tayasui.com/sketches/tools.html

Also, the “fill, pattern, text, object” tool, as shown here:

I used iColorama to sharpen and add vibrancy to the image.
