Abstract: There are an uncountable number of tile patterns in the class of Penrose nonperiodic tilings of the plane that are hypothetically derivable from the dozen or so of those that are known. I recently found one that has useful and aesthetic properties for art and architectural applications.

Keywords: aperiodic tiles, nonperiodic tiling, Penrose tiling, HBS tiling, DKL tiling, KDk tiling.
