The Tumblrs tell me that this is the week to draw your #witchsona. So here is mine.
Most people are doing crazy fantasy witches for this so far - crystal witches, animal witches, plant witches, whatever. Not me. That's my real hat, complete with holographic eye. That's a dress I own. That's my magic wand - it's plastic, filled with glitter stars suspended in some kind of liquid. That's the dragon that hangs in my entryway, guarding it. That's the ankle boots I wear most days. That's the tattoo of dragon wings that stretches from one elbow to the other, barely hinted at here.
Not shown: the fabulous black coat with firey gleaming eyes for buttons, or the Tarot deck I drew a couple years back.
Kids ask me if I'm a witch sometimes. I always tell them yes.
If you stare long enough at this drawing you may begin to see it bubble and boil with magic.

Four square grids, each at (90/4)º to each other. Which is to say they're at 22.5º to each other.
Also it is an inverted reproduction of "Screen Painting: 0º, 22.5º, 45º, 67.5º" by Morellet, found in my treasured copy of the catalog of the 1965 "Responsive Eye" exhibit of a lot of seminal Op work....whose name I did not actually read until now, and worked out what was going on by counting the number of lines around a single point where all the grids pretty much overlapped and dividing by four. Oh well.

Morellet? More like moirellet.

Love everything about this, but that background pattern is just sick. Really fantastic stuff, and yay! for Op art getting a shout-out.......

Math-geekery: what's that grid in the background? I'm presuming five square grids overlaid at roughly 72-degree angles to each other, but it's hard for me to see for sure...
