Me being me, I went ahead and explored what abstract hymn prints might look like.
I also played around with making one in Blender via depth maps:
A new experimental nerdy thing, for people who like hymns, sheet music, and textures:
How I make these hymn prints (as I’m calling them):
convert input.png -morphology erode disk:18 -morphology dilate disk:16 output.pngI’m still figuring out how I want to do these (full bleed or not, barlines, clefs and key signatures or not, etc.). Also thinking about possibly doing some abstract versions as well, to avoid all these music typesetting issues entirely.
Four new pieces tonight.
Heart, Might, Mind, and Strength III:
Two new pieces:
Together Forever II. This one came out of losing my father. (That said, it isn’t actually a depiction of my own family — my parents were divorced and I have more siblings than this.)
Abide with Me II. This has felt applicable to me a decent number of times these past few months.
New artwork: On These Two Commandments.
New artwork: Before the World Was VII. Exploring the idea of using semicircles to represent Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father. (The other ways I’ve tried so far include interlocking circles, yin/yang shapes, whole circles, triangles, and circle-and-triangle figures.)
A few new pieces of art.
He Will Deliver Me, about David and Goliath:
Nevertheless II, another Gethsemane piece:
By Day and by Night, about the pillars of cloud and fire. I’d tried to do this piece multiple times in the past but it never clicked for me until I brought the pillars together at the center.
New artwork: Lamb of God.
New artwork: Their Work and Glory V. I wanted to do a warmer, more subtle version of TW&G IV with (I believe) better composition. The colors ended up pairing with New and Everlasting III and Peace Be unto Thy Soul.
New artwork: When Our Heavenly Parents We Meet III.
