This is a mural I painted on the bedroom wall of my '92-'93 apartment.
The Chao itself is about three feet (a meter or so) in diameter. I
used day-glo, neon poster paints so it was very, very bright. And
with a blacklight it reallyed glowed The head of my bed was centered
right below the Chao, just out of frame.
The apple, as any good Discordian knows, says KALLISTI. The B&W
pattern is really simple to recreate. Take a rectangle, find the
center of each side. Now draw a line from all of the centers and
corners to connect to all of the other centers and corners. Now pick
one area and color it in. Ok, now don't color any areas that touch on
a SIDE. Continue. There you have it. I created it one day doodling
when stuck on the phone in support at Xylogics.
Of trivial note: Off on the right are two pieces of art. The upper
one is an original piece I commissioned at Anime Expo '92 from Artists
by Knight as a potential UF cover. It has the 3WAnarchy logo (a twist
on the 3WA logo), with the SDF-17 Wayward Son, and finally Kei and
Yuri. The lower piece is an original piece by Ben Dunn, creator of
Ninja High School. It is Itchy-Koo and Asrial as Yuri and Kei,
respectively.
More trivia: The prisms/pyramids are unused Smartfood wrapper,
mirrored side out. Fastened to the wall with a glue known as Barge
Cement. I understand the landlord was not happy. One of my roomies
worked for Smartfood and brought home an unused roll of the bagging
material - I still have it.
