Squashington Square

You've got Happy Lines! And a robust 'pocket universe' too it seems. Your combo of line and stipple is just great drawing!

As you might know the bigger the more of a magic square the greater then are the contentsof it too! Therefore by such a possibility the square to be squashed of a kind of a number crunch as so will be a greater thing as well as is possible? So do you so think the same as I have for it in practice? It is an art piece too of about 2.5 x 2.5 feet in size as drawn in fact now as for some extra trivia about it. Crunch that in your square and you won't have to smoke it as in your pipe (like one of the card playing Gnomes) for that too and to do much better? It is all fun! I bet! SO ENJOY IT! - BP

I love this! Very nice piece. There is a lot to look at here. Beautiful

Squashington Square then is a whole idea of a storybook concept of an illustration that does well to make a setting of a fabulous but real magic square as fit for the story line for it! I have some wrote of that on my FAA site Blogs of W-Y now worthy of one's reading attention in some few poems about what goes on at Castle Cross, its pumpkin fields, Castle Cross Abbey Cloister and those local habitations of landed region of a gnome populace too. So check that out soon if you like online at my FAA site Blogs of W-Y too? - BP

Here is how I did this scene: I added several motifs such as the Castle Cross, Dragon Garden, Game Triangle images by cutting them out and adding them to this Squashington Square whole composition by paste ins! Then I drew around them adding to the images content as well. The small post-it note on the Fairies tree is a magic square rendering that the Fairies are having a magic lesson with. The large pumpkins help to complete the whole. I would perhaps like to sometime color this complete square and further complete this fantasy scene? I think so! - Bill Perkins

I like this!

I see it, I see it! :-)

SQUASHINGTON SQUARE - HOW IT WAS COMPLETED: This art piece took me about 3 months to actually then complete. I worked on it between days of my 4-days part time job and on week ends too. It was done with large tipped Sharpie marker black pens, fine tipped Sakura Micron generic technical black ink pens, light 2h graded generic pencils, and a few copies of pasted in pieces of poster board previous execution all adhered to the large Bristol board background with some spare amounts of rubber cement. The first poster board copy that went in was the previous Ring Cycle black lined copy art piece and I drew around it about 5 times of more sized design too. Added other parts was a section of Castle Cross art piece previously completed and in the Northwest part of the overall design. I highlighted with more dark lines the other previous copies principal design elements to further define their shapes for the final pattern. I am working on greater sized designs with more intense pattern too! Here are a first time ever example of Fairies for inspection by this artist also! ENJOY NOW!
