Roll up, roll up! Here is a flick through of my book '12 Twelves', available now on Radian Imprint.

You can buy copies for £24 which works out a pound a pattern! From the link in my profile. Worldwide shipping available.

If you want to share patterns you've drawn from it, please use the tag #12twelvesradian

Thank you to @warmglowphoto
for lending a hand, or two..

Finally the long-awaited (for me anyway!) day has arrived! On my son's 12th birthday, I am excited to announce the launch of my book '12 Twelves - A Visual Expedition into Geometric Pattern', which is also the inaugural transmission on Radian Imprint, a new print and publishing imprint established by Daud Sutton and myself to bring printed works of geometric beauty into the world.

From the back cover:

Geometry, the study of number in space, has inspired pattern designers for millenia.

This book is a visual journey through a sequence of Islamic geometric patterns. Informative diagrams demonstrate how the patterns can be constructed with the simple tools of compass and ruler. Stars and rosettes with twelve points or petals lie at the focal points of the patterns. They interact with their neighbours in versatile ways revealing a wide range of pattern possibilities.

Drawing the designs in this book encourages contemplation of the visual qualities of number and provides an insight into how the patterns may have been originally discovered by the masters of the art.

Another mini-course, this time covering these substitutions for the 14pt star which can be used to generate rhythmic variation in 14pt star patterns.

Self-paced video + handout or PDF only options available.

well hello there.. 🌘

Another tenfold curvilinear flower pattern. Come and learn to draw patterns like this with me on Saturday.. sign up at learn.ambigraph.com

#drawing #geometric #pattern #Islamicgeometry

Little long weekend sketch of a fresh curvilinear design. I'm going to be teaching a related pattern on Zoom next weekend to my subscribers.

#drawing #geometric #pattern #Islamicgeometry #pencil

Here's a new self-paced mini-course offering I've released today.

In the course I will teach you to draw 4 variations on the classic 10pt star motif which appears in countless Islamic patterns, and demonstrate how to integrate them into your 10-fold star patterns to spice up the rhythm and texture of the pattern.

A tale as old as time.

This Saturday I'll be teaching this jaali pattern from Humayan's Tomb in Delhito my members on Zoom, including the arch construction and band proportions. Come and join me! learn.ambigraph.com

Lowest tier membership (square) is merely £3.50 per month (less than a coffee in London).. this gives you access to the latest Zoom class (plus recording access for a month) and handouts.. tbh this is great value even just for the rich PDFs I create, but I want to ensure that my offerings are accessible to anyone committed to learning about geometric design and pattern.

Higher tiers (cube and tesseract) also give you access to a lively discussion forum on Discord, plus discounts on the self-paced courses I offer, and access to the archive of zoom classes.

Continuing the 14 and 8 series, here's another new pattern, this time like coming face to face with an owl god. Made from pieces of metallic card.
