Now I’m adding sinusoids! Sometimes people ask me to make portraits of scientists that I have long considered portraying. So when asked to make mathematician and physicist Joseph Fourier’s portrait I already had an idea about trying to show how Fourier analysis taught us we can make any shape- even his own outline- by summing sinusoids. I hadn’t completely worked out how to tell this story in a print, … 🧵1/n

As described, a photo of two linocut prints drying on my floor with worn red patterned carpet. The prints are on white washi paper 30 cm by 40 cm and have one large section of a circle and several varied smaller overlapping circles in tints and shades of pale orange to pale golden yellow-orange. Fourier is printed in blue ink on top of these orange circles and dressed in 18th century garb. A red sinusoidal function is printed on top such that his head finds within a crest and the throughs to either side frame him.

    I feel like all that time I’ve been practicing shading is starting to pay off.

    Sitting atop a fractal surface of black holes, Tribert tries to make Adenine, one of the molecules in DNA, but he didn’t get it quite right, probably because he got distracted by the cats. Maybe next time, Tribert.

    It’s been a challenging month, and I haven’t had a lot of success with my gouache painting lately. So I decided to go back to my old style of doodling cats and aliens on black holes with ink and colored pencils, where life makes sense and I know what I’m doing.

    Infinite Holes with Two Cats
    Doodle No. 139

    Watercolor pencils, ink, mica paint on 6” square cotton paper.

    Edited to add the alt text.

    #watercolor #MathArt #painting #doodle #ColoredPencil #BlackHole #astronomy

    Colorful drawing of a gridded surface of holes that become a fractal of tiny holes as they reach the square border. Two cats sit on the surface looking at each other. A few spherical planets float above the surface and fall into one of the holes. An alien stands on one of the planets looking down at a cat while holding a drop line with a fish at the end and a contraption in the other hand. A lizard is entering one of the holes. One of the planets is a color wheel with a shimmering rainbow if mica paint.

    Happy birthday to French mathematician, physicist and philosopher Marie-Sophie Germain (1776 – 1831), known as Sophie. She taught herself mathematics using books in her father's library and by corresponding with leading mathematicians of her day, including Lagrange, Legendre and Gauss, initially using the pseudonym Monsieur LeBlanc. 🧵1/n
    ⁠

    Linocut of Sophie Germain (a young woman in with a collar with bow, under a dark dress, with a ribbon tied around her neck, long hair with centre part, half tied up with a ribbon in her hair). She is printed in dark blue with her own words about Fermat's Last Theorem in her own script carved into her hair and dress). Behind her in lavender is a grid of Chladni figures.

    Thinking about a string of thoughts as a string of beads today.

    I didn't get around to posting yesterday's drawing here, but it's on my Patreon and Ko-fi:

    Taking yesterday's pattern idea and going a little more organic with a simple branching fractal.

    Here's a work-in-progress photo. Finished drawing is now posted for my supporters: https://www.patreon.com/posts/97661100
