digital art: Dark Star © 2026 Bill Eberle
ai says: a deep black ground — not empty but saturated — carries a repeating field of large spiky starburst forms outlined in electric blue; each star is a void at its center, a dark eye ringed by jagged, uneven points that suggest thorned crowns, gears, or the corona of an eclipse; between the stars, a secondary geometry of small triangles, arrow-shapes, and diamond connectors fills every gap, so the entire surface is continuous blue line on black with no true negative space; the repetition is dense and hypnotic, closer to a star chart or Islamic geometric tilework than to decorative pattern — severe, nocturnal, precise. artist says: a pattern study created on a Samsung tablet playing with Kaleider’s Android app and one of my digital art pieces, created in ibisPaint, chosen for its colors and lines as my starting point for the pattern study. The hidden faces in these images were a factor in my choice to use them as a dramatic and “oddly interesting” background.
