_Going on Art furlough_
Netdiver Mag will be on hiatus until mid-March /18. I am embarking in a most exciting phase of my life: preparing an exhibition worthy portfolio of both generative arts + abstract & plus fluid art paintings.
On top of that – 3 print portfolios to showcase paintings + generative art to gallery owners.
A lot and lots of work ahead.

As you can see in the staging above – the orientation of renders is pretty much left to the taste of the buyer.
Follow my journey on /iG.

I use an _honor system_ to sell my art: in love with one or to gift someone? DM/ and make me a fair offer (pricing do not include shipping & handling).
All renders available to download as hires to print locally. Gift Art now!
