Collage with Artistic Style

Very cool artwork here. This artist combines photography, painting, pastels, and words to create beautiful and sometimes disturbing images.

UPDATE: I was inspired by tonight's meeting to put a javascript CSS switcher on my page. You can go view it here: bouldergamedev.com/~ichigo. The first two designs are both on there (as Styles 7 and 6, respectively).

shrinky-dinks

So, we had a shrinky-dink day a few weeks ago, and these are the things I made. I took photos of them before I baked them, next to the sharpie, for contrast with their size after baking.

To the left is a picture of my notebook, with the designs I drew. The hearts and sun/moon have already been baked.

Prebaking pictures:
"teardrop" earrings
large butterfly
small butterfly
bracelet piece

So, the picture on the left is a collection of all the shrinky-dinks, before being baked, and the picture on the right is how they look after, with the sharpie in both pictures for comparison.

Battle of the Band's Cover Art

Motion graphics are the art of using graphics to create the illusion of motion. The following is a mograph of the following concept: The Battle of Band Cover Art. It is quite possibly the coolest and funniest thing I've seen all year: The Battle of Band Cover Art

For that float video I played at the end check out the Backspace podcast series. (There's only one right now)

Also check out Wooster Collective for awesome fresh street art and more

Greg Martin has two (now) famous tutorials posted for you photoshop aficionados... one for planets, and one for stars. I reccomend giving them both a shot, although it's kind of formulaic, you still might learn something...just careful- like most photoshop effects, people can spot his 'style' from miles away...it kind of sticks out at you, you know?...stick as in a stick in the mud

If anyone still wants to learn more about vinyl figures- Vinyl Pulse is a good place to start (the links on the right are awesome)
