after working for some time with fetish illustrator michael manning (one of my favorite artists since i was 15, whom i also commissioned to design my first tattoo) on my next piece, we finalized the design yesterday.
the concept is a "chaos spiral": an 8-pointed chaos star and a spiral, integrated into one piece.
in my world-view chaos is the essential creative force, a random stream of data churning into the cosmos. the spiral represents a sort of reverse-entropy in which this data becomes more and more complex until it reaches a point where it becomes self-aware, takes over and strives for further complexity in order to escape death (un-complexity or zero).
just thought i'd share the process with you guys, and document it for myself.
