remix - bruce - airport

can i remix with a camera, i wonder?

i took this photograph at the airport:



pretty straight forward, an airplane through a patterned window.

then i took this photograph, of the same subject airplane, same lighting conditions, just with things out of focus, and the depth of field as shallow as possible...

Mr. Shen - Remix

Mr. Shen here.

I decided to remix and draw the Mona Lisa.

My original idea was to redo the Brokeback Mountain movie poster with the following tagline: "Two cowboys. One love. Zero caves unexplored."

Remix - Mr. Hu - The Model of a Modern Major General

This is a deconstruction of a self-portrait drawn by Leonardo Da Vinci. I don't really have an idea what I was trying to accomplish here. Maybe analog into digital. Or fun with layers, I guess.

White - Mr. Hu - Digital Shadow

It appears that my ftp is no longer working, so I can't post the html version of this yet. Here's one screen-shot of it for now.

mr. cheung - white

mmm... first draft of something i was planning on making out of scissors and paper, we'll see how it goes...

Mr. Shen - White

Mr. Shen here.

This week's assignment was interesting. I decided to do a drawing, but in reverse. I've never actually drawn on black. It proved to be a very rewarding and interesting experience.

I didn't have a reference. It was just some random cat man in the end.

Below is the process and how it formed.

Mr. Shen - Hard Work

Mr. Shen here.

Who works harder than a lumberjack?

God does.

The below is the draft I worked with before the vector.

Work Hard - Mr. Hu - Rolling Rocks

This simple visual was based on the myth of Sisyphus, who was doomed to forever push a rock up a hill, which is how I feel when I go into work every so often. Lately, I'm trying to strip my approach down to basics and to think more about composition as opposed to merely the subject itself.

mr. cheung - work hard

because, why not?

Quake - Mr. Hu - When the Earth Quakes

I did not follow the full guidelines for this assignment, because - frankly - I forgot what the full guidelines were.

You would not believe how long it took me to try - and ultimately fail - to get a seemingly trivial visual effect in photoshop. This wasn't as I intended. Time for sleep...
