Above
the sentinel in the door there is what looks like a Masonic
compass symbol. I decided to recreate it and see where
it led me. Since compasses measure something, I cast about
for other Art Deco objects and was reminded of the bronze
base for the eternal flame under the Arc de Triomphe.
I used a picture I took last summer and this image took
shape. The font is Seagull with a bevel and single pixel
black stroke. The hand is a modified Photo Object. The
sky is a gradient and the clouds are a brush. The ground
is a pattern fill.
