Perspicuous

Above you can see my artwork with a title "Perspicuous". It's a photo of work on acrylic on canvas.
I think it clearly shows my love for geometrical/mathematical art. In case you wonder about the odd word "Perspicuous" - I gave this title to the artwork in honor of the person I admire very much: the famous late geometer Donald Coxeter. Perspicuous was one of his favorite words.
I'm sure you are familiar with the word intelligibility so I guess I really don't need to explain perspicuous to you.

BTW - I think Dr. Coxeter would like the word 'zemified'.

An excellent biography about H.S.M Coxeter is S. Roberts' The King of Infinite Space. Enjoy.

Impressive Cliff

Clifford A.Image via Wikipedia

I always love to follow the most impressive blogs by my friend, worldwide known author, visionary and a true renaissance man,
great Cliff Pickover, who writes books faster than people can read them.
His latest book "Archimedes to Hawking" is actually his biggest book ever, 514 pages of pure knowledge. And it features an illustration of a mysterious creature of some kind, which you can see here.
Dive into his website www.pickover.com.
Be careful, you might get lost in parallel universes...:)
