Two more prints off the A1 Mini this week, both picked more for how they feel in the hand than how they look on a shelf.

First up is a fidget cube — small, and surprisingly satisfying to fiddle with. It’s easily become the thing I pick up and turn over without thinking while I’m reading or on a call.

The second is a Truchet tile pattern, generated from an SVG file rather than modelled by hand. Truchet tiles are simple square tiles with a repeating pattern on them — usually a pair of arcs or diagonal lines — that combine in interesting ways depending on how each tile is rotated when they’re laid out in a grid. Generating the layout as an SVG first meant I could experiment with the tiling arrangement in 2D before ever committing to a print.

Our two dogs, Sidney and Betty.

Finally got round to inking the sketches in one of my sketchbooks.

I really need to draw more, but it’s hard finding the time with all my other hobbies and work.
