Description
I had some time to waste, no art supplies and utterly desparate for inspiration I traced my hand and started filling it up with celtic knotwork.These things always turns out to be meditational in a way.
It was interesting to see if I could simulate the inner structure of the hand. Am quite pleased but wish I had a better purpose for it or could integrate it into another piece of art.
For now it is as it is...
And yes it continuous!

An eye-catcher of a meditation. 
Your gallery, in general, is quite remarkable in how it probes a rather broad set of artistic styles and historical motions: art nouveau, ornamental styles, a tinge of expressionism, illustrators, thickly painted studies, and more. It's good to see people doing that. There was, in your gallery, a little brownish image of a foot surrounded by some text, which related - in my view - your stated interest in Rackham 
You have a fine signature quotation, too.

Took me sometime to reply to this comment but comments like these can make my week! 
It is a first someone thinks the diversity in styles is a good thing, most people that take note think I should focus on one particular style and develop it more. I like trying new things though and some styles lend themself particularly well to a topic.
About the knotwork being a worldwide thing it is true. PErsonally I believe I'm sure I saw somehting of the kind at some point but had only taken it unconciously as i drew them before I ever knew about celtic knotwork. Someone did point me there at some point though. They are always nice additions to drawings or fascinating little phone doodles.
hankyou for your elaborate comment!

This may be a little edgy way to put it, but someone said that 'specialisation is for insects. Ours are inquisitive minds and the cardinal virtue of curiosity. The same one that killed the proverbial cat but turned some others into ocelots and catbuses.
Personally, I think that people have skimmed through too many edited books of famous work with furrows of worry, if they think that anyone's artistic progress would benefit from creative restraints. Curiosity itself will eventually take care of accumulating experience in certain areas more than in some others. Most likely none of those celebrated artists have matured without experimenting on and investigating a variety of paths, and doing a lot of some screwed up shit - and enjoying it.

thankyou! how do you mean artifacty though? you mean it looks too clean? (I did edit the ink with the computer and greatly decreased the size, but is that what you mean?) Please elaborate

I mean the jaggedy edges of the lines, 'artifacts' in a jpeg are all the little squares that pop up in high compression for low quality images. Not the perfect word in this case I suppose but you know how it is

...and now the world knows you're right-handed
It's nice. It seems somewhat "pure", no extra details, no elaborate techniques, just a knot.

grins: check my gallery: the world already knew I was right handed 
Glad you like the pureness of it.. it seems to be the way I roll (when I'm bored!)
