Comments
Since I spent all my colors for our last nvScene release I wanted to play around with 2d-black-white op-art again. Something like a remake of "Beta" without being bound to a single artist. Obviously I used quite a bit of references, esp. Andy Gilmore, Sergi Delgado, Armin Hofmann, and many others.

Hope to see you all at nvScene 2015!
