246 - Queer Stylus For The Straight Guy


Today, I end up with another piece of accidental abstract work.  This time around, I was trying to adjust the pressure sensitivity of my computer stylus, the digital pen I use to draw a fair amount of my work directly to the computer.  I must have chosen a sensitivity value that went outside of the range of my application.

This is supposed to emulate a somewhat worn nib on a fountain pen.  Instead, the stylus went queer, and I use that word in the sense of unexpected strangeness. It turned out looking to me like cells, or feathers, or a photomicrograph.  Completely impractical, yet interesting to look at.
