I think this was the last Sierpinski drawings I did. I really enjoyed making these drawings. The sierpinski triangle is a drawing technique that one, or at least that I, can become utterly lost in. Hours can go by with no other thought than "draw."

So lovely.

Like a good drug.

I should do another one.
