I have been making knot drawings for years now. I made a painting titled "30" for my alma mater's 30th Anniversary with several knots in the shape of a three and a zero. Other knot drawings were simple and delicate and did not require a dictionary. I started the concept when I was doing a drawing a day project. It changed when I drew my laundry around January 2009,

I kept finding knots in everything.

Maybe these will become palindromes or anagrams or something else tricky.

My world has changed twice this week - topsy turvy, yin and yang. In my world of ups and downs, this is to document the dichotomy between last year and this year at Misu.

I get terrible motion sickness, so I like to draw without looking at the paper as much as possible. Sometimes, I get fun results.
