All my tears.
Again.
I think I found my 2012 New Years resolution.
I so want something like an artists’ colony. Somewhere where I can be left alone to discover my creative voice without having to worry about work, or looking over my shoulder in case some lumbering idiot comes blundering in to make me do their bidding.
I want a retreat like this where I can seek help when I want it, be left alone otherwise, to find out what the hell I’m good for.
Now that Tumblr’s video player finally works, I wanted to upload this here. (This HD player’s surprisingly good quality) This was my short film that I spent forever on. Please don’t remove my credits, thanks~!
here’s a step-by-step process of how I put this togetherDISNEY MIGHT KIDNAP YOU AND MAKE YOU WORK FOR THEM
Hey @qinni this is so so beautiful. You have a precious talent but also dedication, passion, and patience - nobody gets that good without it. Be proud and never stop creating.
I actually feel very strongly about this.
I have an aversion to buying movie tie-in reprints of books. The only one I have is Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes, because I bought it when the film came out and I’ve kept it because that poster art is beautiful.
I also dislike tie-in reprints, mainly because invariably the morons in the audience buy the book expecting a novelisation of the script. Then they get confused, get mad, then end up gracing the pages of Least Helpful.
ART: Canned Qualities by Flow Market
Life is mostly defined by materialistic needs. It’s always about needing, wanting, buying, consuming, and many more verbs. Yet some things are “priceless” and can’t be bought because they are non-existent.
Which is why the Flow Market is selling these non-existent items.
I would have expected these qualities to be branded, rather than packaged generically, but on reflection that would have detracted from the core message.
80s sci-fi / technology chrome styled airbrush art, 1982
I think they used this for the computer game version of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.
Original Portal 2 concept art
Copyright Jeremey Bennett and Randy Lundeen, artists of Valve Corporation
One of the things I like about Portal 2 is the way it manages, through mostly level design, to indicate that the Aperture Science Enrichment Centre has forgotten its purpose. GLaDOS remembers nothing about a company’s purpose to sell product. It’s testing, testing ad infinitum, world without end… oh wait, the world did end. Not that GLaDOS cares. She has plenty of power and test subjects, what more could a girl want?
This blog has some interesting imagery, ranging from classic trippy to the grotesque and even terrifying.
Martin Klimas - Miles Davis, “Pharaoh’s Dance,” from “Bitches Brew”
Like a 3-D take on Jackson Pollock, the latest work by the artist Martin Klimas begins with splatters of paint in fuchsia, teal and lime green, positioned on a scrim over the diaphragm of a speaker. Then the volume is turned up. For each image, Klimas selects music — typically something dynamic and percussive, like Karlheinz Stockhausen, Miles Davis or Kraftwerk — and the vibration of the speaker sends the paint aloft in patterns that reveal themselves through the lens of his Hasselblad. Klimas rose to prominence in the art world four years ago for a series of photos that captured porcelain figurines just as they shattered. For this series, Klimas spent six months and about 1,000 shots to produce the final images from his studio in Düsseldorf, Germany. In addition to the obvious debt owed to abstract expressionism, Klimas says his major influence was Hans Jenny, the father of cymatics, the study of wave phenomena. The resulting images are Klimas’s attempt to answer the question “What does music look like?”
AVERAGE AMOUNT OF PAINT USED PER SHOT: 6 OUNCES
TOTAL AMOUNT OF PAINT USED ON THE PROJECT: 18.5 GALLONS
FINAL NUMBER OF IMAGES PRINTED: 212
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/7,000TH OF A SECOND
NUMBER OF BLOWN SPEAKERS: 2
