carefully guiding a thick felt-tip pen across textured paper creates lines that are characterized by their corners and edges. i see this not only as a natural aesthetic, but also as a reminder that there is beauty in the uncontrollable. this painting technique has evolved over the years.
the classic kmk aesthetic is characterized by imperfect lines and patterns, as well as geometric perfection. overall, it is about naturalness, uniqueness, and community through that.
