Scrutiny is one of the NONAGON series. Pen and ink, white charcoal on hand-painted paper, digitally painted, NFT (after McGinnis)
Nona tipped the cabbie and got out of the car only to catch a glimpse of the same stranger with a hat that followed her out of Stacey’s party. She tried to keep her eyes on him to see where he went, but he slipped into the shadows again.
Now that is strange, how could he know where she was going? How could he have gotten there before her she thought? Maybe she just had too much to drink at the party she continued.
After stepping out of the car, she noticed coins lying on the ground in front of her and something else that sparkled.
NONAGON: Nine sides of life, nine sides of our past, present, and future meet in the world’s first Crypto Noir art series and story ever.
Linder’s latest artwork is digital meets handmade. Starting with hand-painted paper, he draws in pen and ink, and white charcoal. Each piece is scanned at a stunning 8k resolution and then 30 to 50 digital layers are added. The digital layers are printed on transparency and re-applied to the handmade drawing.
It is a one-of-a-kind series inspired by film noir and pulp fiction novels that explores the mystery of the number 9, with 27 mixed media artworks that tell a Crypto-Noir story.
