Translucent Carbonite

I love these cool / creepy glass paitnings. See the full gallery here.

Collage

I accidentally saved this as a draft. This is the first homework assignment I did for my photoshop class. The assignment was to a make a collage with two photographs, one supplied by me the other by someone else in the class. I'm noticing that most of my work so far has been fairly simple, and in keeping with that trend, this one isn't very complicated, but I'm happy with it.

Absolut Pseudopod

This is the godawful Absolut Vodka ad I made for my Art and Digital Tech class this week. I'm really disappointed with it. And myself. I had a bunch of other ideas, which I may still follow through on, but this one I was able to throw together fairly quickly. I'm depressed now and wish to sleep.

EDIT: Boredom + Photoshop = More ABSOLUT ads!


Off center a bit. I'll fix it in the morning.

Amateur / Professional

Here's a clever idea with some really fun results. Little kids' pictures were reinterpreted by various artists. This would make a wonderful art exhibit. I'd also like to see the kids redraw something that the artists create. You can see the full gallery here.

xMass

As you may or may not be aware, today is xmas, the birthday of Sir Isaac Newton and Victor Retail the inventor of the modern mall and the man who introduced the gift-giving so everyone could celebrate his birthday and spend money at his malls. To celebrate xmas, many people go to a Spiritual Boutique of sorts, commonly referred to as a "church". There they pay for various wise sayings and advice that make them feel better about their lives. I however, am already full of sage advice and - unbeknownst to my parents who insist I spend money on the advice of the collared church salespeople - decided not to go shopping at the xmas (Spiritual Extravaganza) Mass. Instead, my brother and I went driving around the city eventually winding up in FoPo where I snapped a few pictures on my phone.

These are the fountains at Art Hill which look much more impressive either at night or during the summer.

There were some really need copper slinky sculptures in various stages of (over)extension strewn about the bottom of art hill. I wish I'd taken more pictures, but I think you get the idea.

This slinky shattered.

My brother contemplates the mysteries of the universe on the waterfront. His outfit blends in with his surroundings far too well.

King Louis IX in all his majesty.

The mighty Hercules in a tangle of snakes. I wish the lighting (and my camera) were better.

The Art of Dart

I have a new favorite artist of the month or so. Kevin Dart has some great illustrations on his website. They kind of have a Tartakovsky (Dexter's Lab/Powerpuff Girls/Samurai Jack) look, but at the same time they have a classic pulp feel to them. I love. You should to. Check em out.
