I Am At It Again

I am back at it again, creating more puzzled and puzzling arrangements. Here attached are TJOD Mandala Series Puzzle 9 Arrangement 1 and 2 and 3. Copyright 2026 HT. All rights are reserved by me, but you can order many of the works in this series printed on demand at FAA/Pixels and some in my other venues.

The small original The Joy of Design series acrylic paintings on canvas are for sale and some have already sold. You can find a link to these at the bottom of this blog. Further on, in The Joy of Design Mandala Series Puzzle Arrangements, there are a number of the 64 one inch original painting scans of selected nine paintings placed symmetrically in different flipped and rotated orientations. The original paintings are all designed to be displayed in any of the eight directions, so, they can be rotated around easily. My The Joy of Design series currently has 71 completed original acrylic paintings on stretched canvas in it, ranging in size from 6 by 6 inches to 12 by 12 inches each. I am aiming to at least 100 paintings on canvas and endless number of arrangements and compilations created with the scans of these works.

At this point there are numerous works I have created by compiling these originals digitally, both altered and unaltered in color and using the scans in part or in full. So far these works, both originals and arrangements, are in quantity the largest project I have undertaken artistically. These organic and figurative and geometric abstract works are truly about the joy of creating and designing and also about altered perceptions and different ways of looking and seeing. They intend to mirror to the viewer the contents of their own mind and associations and in general are intended to be joyful eye candy in the full spectrum of pareidolia experiences. 

These artworks can also be used as meditative tools, mandalas and more. If you have questions, you can contact me for more information. 

I have added links to my galleries here where you can view more information and see more images of my The Joy of Design (TJOD) creations:
