This is the image that currently appears on my business cards.
It is based on a sketch I did in 2001, easily one of the most elegant
and sensual sketches I drew of focco. I gave it a simple treatment
with vectors, using the minimal number of fluid broken lines, intending
to use it as a logo or for a business card. (You can view that old version
here.) It remained unused,
though; perhaps I wasn't fully satisfied with it, or was saving it for
a better use.
In 2005, I came to a point where I needed to order more business cards,
and as I was no longer associated with the company that appeared on the
previous batch, I decided to redesign them in a more personal way. So I
blew the dust off the sketch and reworked it. The broken line approach
was abandoned, and I used crisp contour with tiny disconnected flecks
suggesting the indicating continuations of crossing lines. I also made
the drawing more solid and correct overall, and used the colors of this
site to frame the line art.
