Inspiration

Even while in the midst of a major project, I find that its important to always have something waiting in the wings - some new design cycle that will pick up smoothly when I finally finish what I'm working on. I have been thinking for a while about doing a series with a Celestial Sun/Moon theme. Those kinds of images have fascinated me since I was little and delighted in looking at the Proctor & Gamble Moon and Stars logo. I have experimented with one drawing after another, but a recent discovery has thrown all the old designs out the window. I have discovered the Prague Astronomical Clock. The colors, the nesting of circles, the symbols and motion are just what I had in mind. Now to spend a while translating it into a design. I love it when a plan starts to come together.
