Found Patterns


Cool, spiral-y pattern on a piece of paper that wrapped a pair of shoes I bought. I have a whole box of stuff under my bed filled with random things that caught my eye. I have no idea what I'm saving them for, but they'll be there when I need them.


 Same story as above, shoe paper that caught my eye and I saved. I also like it cause it reminds you where the paper came from.

Old board found in a warehouse that my roommate, John rents a room in to practice with his band. Attraction: the romance of decay, to compare/contrast with the fake wood grain above.


From a Jackson Pollock print in my roommate Kaleb's room. Although many are critical of his work, I can stare at it for hours.

A mounted butterfly hung on Kaleb's wall (He has a lot of cool stuff in his room). I've always thought that some of the coolest and most beautiful patterns in nature can be found on the wings of butterflies.


This one's a two-fer. The pattern on the mask and the pattern on the wings of the moth. Chosen for the amazing coincidence it represents: this wall is covered in African masks and mounted bugs, and this moth just happened to fly into the mouth of one of the masks and die in there. I guess he just wanted to become part of the collection.


As someone who works a job with a lot of free time, I spend a lot of time staring at grids such as this. I make the hours go by faster by doing a few crossword puzzles and Sudokus every day.


Soap bubbles in my sink. Bubbles will always meet at an angle of 120 degrees. And I think that is just neat.



Pattern on a blanket of Native American origin. I have always held a great respect for the Native American cultures.


Lamp we have at our house. I like it cause it reminds me of the double helix.
