What is Enneye?

Enn (N) + eye (I). Enneye brings together my last name (Enns), an eye for detail, and NI — natural intelligence: the built-in ability living things have to sense, learn, adjust, and create. This is how I work. I draw freehand, staying present with each line and allowing the image to grow the way living systems grow—through attention, responsiveness, and continual adjustment. Errors, interruptions, and changes aren’t problems to eliminate; they’re opportunities that shape what comes next. The work unfolds this way. It grows this way. In a way AI can’t—and in a way humans are especially good at: making mistakes and growing with them.

It’s easy, in the day-to-day of our busy, growthy lives, to forget how amazing it is that we’re here at all—alive on a vibrant planet, moving through space, part of systems far larger than us.

For as long as humans have existed, we’ve made things with our hands, carrying time, mistakes, repair, and spirit into what we create. Enneye is part of this living lineage, shaped by the same natural intelligence that stitches bone back together stronger, forces humility where it needs to be learned, brings joy through unexpected aha moments, and leaves room for simple luckiness. The drawings are slow-made offerings in a fast world, inviting wonder, trust in process, and a felt connection to the long human story of making meaning by hand.
