This week's art project, another hextich.

Rather than the bars alternating warm and cool colors, I had the circles and background carry cool colors, except where they pass through the straight-lined, angular symbol in the middle, where they switch to warm colors.

I tried to keep the direction of the color-fading the same (lighter towards the outer edge of the circles, except where the circles crossed. At those places I blended colors and tried to have the gradation sort-of follow the combined motion of the two (or more) directions the color flowed.

I wonder if it's a little sacreligeous for me to be doing something that looks "churchy" for something that is, at its core, so devoid of meaning.

I guess I settle for the Autobot symbol instead of a crucifix, since the crucifix sets off auto-hate in so many people nowadays, and it's better than, say Superman's logo because everyone knows that deep down (see www.superdickery.com), but it's a symbol of a group who always tries to do the right thing even if they are boneheads sometimes . . . maybe even a lot of the time.
