Artist's Comments

These monkey tessellations are based on the equilateral triangle tile. The monkeys leave their regimented two dimensional existence, climb an octet structure and leap into the air spreading their arms in exultation. Then they return to their daily grind.

The octet structure they are playing on is made from alternating octahedra and tetrahedra bricks. Unlike conventional rectangular bricks, these have triangular faces.

I've hidden stuff in the painting's texture. Detail may be seen at [link]

This is an amazing painting with really well done tessellation. You need some sort of award or something prestigious like that. I love the intricacy of the bricks. :)

We move in circles.
Balanced all the while,
On a gleaming razor's edge.
A perfect sphere,
Colliding with our fate.
This story ends where it began.

I have been blown away by the planetary and space scapes I've seen on D.A. And your work stands out in this strong community. Have you made tutorials?

Thats insane dude! 3 comments and 19favs. somethings wrong with people. I want to nominate this for DD, how do i do that? :+fav:
Hey thanks! :D

If you can find someone with a ^ in front of their name that likes it, it might get a DD.

Saw your sketch pad page with Penrose triangles and geometrical designs. [link] . Nice comment on tessellations. I see them all over the place when I'm on the edge of dream space.
