new ano kato 5 abandoned / made new ano kat 6 today. / by Philip Tarlow

3:05 PM: sometimes you just have to let go of something. yesterdays new ano kato 5 was too buy, going in 8 different directions, so after spending a few minutes on it this morning, i declared it dead. it happens.

so i started a new one, which i’ll probably leave as is. it takes my envisioned integration of creek inspired marks with ano kato inspired marks a step further. i have to sometimes trick myself into simplicity, and this is one of those times. if you could have seen me working on this one, you might have said i was daft. i won’t say any more;

see what you think.
