Here are some of my Arts, that i feel may be good for some novelty puzzles of various different topics. They start with drawings that I feel are more nature, educational, universe related, and then go into ones that may not be the best fit, but still could make for some great puzzles… Each one of these drawings have been scanned at 600dpi and can be enlarged without any blurring of details. The drawings for puzzles would obviously not say www.ArtofDiNo.com on them. I have all the original scans and can altar things in anyway as well. So the possibilities are endless for size and more. The interconnected nature would make them interesting to piece together, and they are all packed with symbolism from the ancients to the present. Enjoy, each drawing will have a brief description below it…

Click on the drawings to see them enlarged, as some dont fit on the page.

Enjoy

AHL

This drawing has 150 words relating to life, Earth and the Universe all packed within a square foot. It Enlarges well and is perfect as an educational tool promoting sciences and Art as well. Everything connects in a unique way and is positive in nature. Original is 12x12inches

Youniverse

Is an oil painting showing the Earth at the bottom and the known Universe above it… The Milky Way Galaxy in the corner, Sun above and all the planets and moons spiraling from it. There are hidden things within the Earth and the drawing can be viewed upside down as well. Educational, and visually exciting

The Dodecahedron

This would make for a very  unique puzzle. It is a drawing using elemental and universal themes that when folded together creates a 3dimensional Dodecahedron Shape that can be used as a 12 sided dice of visual illusions. Upon staring at it, it turns into and does things that are beyond comprehension and description. So if it was possible, it could be a puzzle that then folds up and connects into a Geometric shape

Norskeye

This is a 30 inch by 30 inch mandala featuring the North Star in the center and all of the northern constellations surrounding it. It is very accurate. Each star is unique and represented by a white dot at its center.. Galaxies, constelations, imagery, alignments and more add up to a very educational tool that makes learning the constellations beautiful and fun and interesting. Can be viewed from all 360 degrees and is amazing when spinning or standing still… Much hidden subconscious within as well, pulled from the depths.        EYESEA

This drawing features the four elements and many many eyeballs. It is an interesting meditation and when stared upon it, the pupil and main eye of the center begins to bulge and contract.

The Tree

This is a symbolic image using the tree as its focal point. Themes from the ancients to the present are interlaced throughout, the World Tree is the focal point and the lotus like contemplative being is at the very center. Also symbolism relating to good and evil throughout, and how they are one in the same and also not existing at all… Spiraea

Perhaps my favorite drawing ive ever done. Amazing amounts of unique  universal symbolism all flowing in the form of the spiral. Beyond any religion or mathematics, it is simply an organic creation of pure creativity. There are endless illusions and ways of observing this (similar to a magic eye) that leave the viewer in Awe.  Ladeye

An homage to the female form and the beauty and  powers they exude. The FISH

Much symbolism relating to the fish and the Earth. Hundreds of little people exist on this drawn planet of sorts and elemental and universal themes exist throughout…

nIeyeIn

A dedication to meditation and the process of enlightenment and transcendence. The chakras of the being are all aligned while sitting atop the Galactic Center of the Milky Way. At the top center, a small being exists with a DNA strand coming from one hand, and the nine planets from the other. The Sun and the Moon stand at opposites, yet are all connected by the elements and many more…..

Americandala

Hundreds of symbols of the beliefs of Native American tribes from Sioux to Maya and way more. An educational tool on the peoples of the past who paved the way to the world we live in today, and who were capable of sustaining life and not destroying it.

MAeYeA

A dedication to the Mayan/AZTEC Sun Calendar and the belief that december 21, 2012 will be a day of beauty and NOT the end of anything. But the beginning. It is accurate, educational, and promotes positivity for the coming Age of Beauty and perfection.
