Description

I've been reading a book about an ancient (at least 5,000 yrs old) measurement called "The Megalithic Yard"..and how it may have inspired all the different forms of measurement we have today. This image was done using hand drawn lines with the pen tool and five of my own Photoshop brushes......All work done in Photoshop. TFV.

I am so sorry I wasn't the little mouse that was hidden somewhere in your study-room to see you draw this mind-boggling jewel of graphics art.And seeing it full-size is another breathtaking experience...Visually inspiring, it reminds me of my Celtic studies and hours spent gazing at interlace, trying to imitate them , as they appeared in the Book of Kells and other treasures of another era....Your splendid art here deserves a lot more than the thousands of comments written for stale photos and pics, for the sake of being admired in return...You're the master, Jeff. Sincerely, JL

Oddly, I think all measurements come from weight. What an amazing contingency of pulls and pushes, gouges and sweeps. Maybe the megalithic yard was as far as you could throw a megalith. How fast it went is another derivative. How long it took to feel better after required consulting the stars.
