Synthesised heart

February 01, 2026

My first Leaflet publication ๐Ÿ™Œ Sometimes you need more words, than can fit in a BlueSky post or thread. Let's see how this works out.

The idea for the synthesised heart originally came from the Jippie Stippie drawing below

Late browser demo I did for #genuary26 inspired by a dotted heart drawing made by @keradamo.com #genuary4 "Lowres. An image or graphic with low resolution, where details are simplified or pixelated."

The shape and the solidified diamond itself are such nice interpretations of the ever-evolving story of the heart that I am working on. I was therefore inspired to continue the exercise with another interpretation of the GIF.

I took two stills from the GIF. One is done in the Jippie Stippie style, because that's how it originally started. The other is done with a graphite pencil, because I really like the relationship between graphite and diamonds ๐Ÿ’Ž

For the material fetishists among us: I used a Sakura Pigma Micron 03 pen for the ink drawing and a Faber Castell Pitt Graphite Matt 2B pencil for the graphite drawing.
