Maybe the nicest of all tilings is the regular tiling with hexagons. A seamless fit and exciting at the same time. I had to make a decision about how to put them in order. The solution is to stagger them. This was the first plot where I put the “bytes”(hexagons) in random order. My good friend and artist Marten Hazelaar suggested that. It creates a field of hexagons where no hexagon is the same. It is pleasing to the eye. Also check the ones with three extra lines that make them look like cubes.

8 bits hexagons, in sequence (nr. 03-01)

    • 8 bits so 28 = 256 hexagons
    • Plotted on CANSON® XL® Bristol Bristolpaper A4.
    • Black pigmented fineliner
    • In sequence from the top left to the bottom right
    • Dimensions: 14x16cm (5.5″x6.3″)

 

  • Also possible
    • Different dimensions (smaller than 20x20cm)
    • Shuffled (see next one)
    • white, silver, gold or bronze on black paper (maximum 6 bits, so 64 hexagons)

8 bits hexagons,shuffled (nr. 03-02)

  • 8 bits so 28 = 256 hexagons
  • Plotted on CANSON® XL® Bristol Bristolpaper A4.
  • Black pigmented fineliner
  • Shuffled, all hexagons are different
  • Dimensions: 16x19cm (6.3″x7.5″)

 

 

6 bits hexagons, shuffled, gold on black (nr. 03-03)

  • 6 bits so 26 = 64 hexagons
