    Thrackle Conjecture Part I

    September 17, 2018

     Thrackle Conjecture, Pencil on Bristol, 11 x 17 inches, 2018

    These things are "thrackles," drawings where every line touches every other line once and only once (by endpoint or traverse). Everyone draws thrackles all the time - a five pointed star and a triangle are bo...

    House Mouse Part IV

    July 15, 2018

    House Mouse is back on the agenda!
