The image size we needed to wrap the cups was closer to a square. I have resized the originals to fit the 16:9 ratio I use on this blog. The resizing in some combination of cropping, squeezing, stretching, and extending. But for the most part it remains true to the original.
For Christmas, my lovely and crafty wife Karen was printing images on glasses for gifts. She asked if I could create art that did not have a seam when wrapped around a glass. After giving it some thought and a lot of experimentation, we got it figured out. Only a few days past Christmas.
If you print this image, then roll it into a cylinder, the left and right edges match.
Fewer nested circles is each feature. Old 33 1/3 records?
That was fun, two more.
Larger components, with transparent glass appearance.
The next (saved) variant embraces the floating sets of concentric circles.
I liked the previous two, but I was disappointed with the variations I made. So I tried progressively more extreme experiments. The intermediate steps are not worth show, but they led to this. It looks like something nasty seen under a microscope.
This is a recent piece, inspired by the previous Janus #51.
Here is an older piece. As with some others in this collection, I wanted to publish it, but I never got back to it.
