Wavy world


Waves are everywhere indeed. Of course we think first of water and sound. But there is also waves in the brain, and light is made of waves. By extension, all cycles are wavy: the water cycle, breathing and the circulatory system, the alternation of nights and days, of the seasons, the revolutions of the planets, etc. 

This is an analog piece of work done by Eve. Included in the pix some hand drawing and paint, on an inverted photocopy of brain waves.

His sketch, her variation





Left, a doodle of mine from a Margaret Macdonald painting. On the right, Eve's variation.
I like the colors very much.
Being somewhat colorblind, I would have put bright primary colors, therefore ruining it.

Montreal pop-up card


A model of my next pop-up card. I always begin by a rough model, to see what it looks like. Then I add colors. When I'm happy with it, I make prints of it and a vector file, to cut it on the laser cutter.

Portrait of a scientist


This is a portrait of Max Planck (1858-1947), a famous physicist. This is a scan of a handmade colored drawing by Eve.

With him begin the theory of quantum mechanics, which says that in matter, there is no matter. Hard to grasp indeed! As weird as it sound, without this theory you can't make a laser, nor a computer. Without these crazy ideas, our life would be quite different.
