Colorizing the Mayan Glyphs

Here's another project I'm working on. The vast catalog of Mayan glyphs, many still undeciphered, lend themselves beautifully to coloration. Here's a sample. Eventually, I will post an entire sample sheet of all my colored glyphs. Here's another:



The glyphs will stimulate your design instincts. Using Photoshop and Graphic Converter, the variations are endless. I've worked for hours on a single glyph, getting the colors and filter effects just right. Someday I will render them as 3D virtual objects that can handled and viewed from different angles.

Hypothetical future society communicates universal archetypes/ideas through use of Rubic's cubes and Mayan glyph flash cards as per Herman Hesse's Glass Bead game.

A fabulous glyph catalog can be found
