I term these drawings “blind” as they were made with a marker, with my eyes closed. To make matters even more interesting and unpredictable, I did not draw straight lines, but deviated into ornamentally distorted lines. The subsequent filling of the shapes with black paint was accomplished afterwards, with eyes open.
