Trash Bag Art, No Kidding

This is creativity at its best without a doubt. This guy makes some pretty cool monsters out of bags and when the subway goes under the ventilation they come alive. It will make a lot more sense when you actually see it for yourself.

Back to JB

       I hope nobody is over Julian Beever yet because I have another interesting bit of media on him.  On previous posts I put a preview of his website and link to go and view all of his amazing work.  Now I would like to share this video of his 3-D sidewalk art making process.  Please enjoy the Pavement Picasso.

Propaganda Poster

          I wanted to base my propaganda poster off of some well known WWII propaganda posters as you can see above.  I created and transformed almost everything in Illustrator and organized in Photoshop.  I have always felt that a strong symbol of accusation is the pointing finger so it only seemed right to use that as my main focus point.  I do not passionately disagree with the WWII propaganda posters you see concerning more production and defeating the enemy, but I wanted to use well known and easily understandable classic propaganda to give my poster that classic feel.

Vector Exercise

         This was my first real attempt at using Illustrator and I had a lot of fun messing with the tools even though they were mind numbingly frustrating.  I tried to make it look like a "P", or is it and "R"?  The letter can be whatever you prefer of the two.  I also wanted it to appear as if it is boarded to the background.

Stop Motion

I found my first ever attempt at stop motion animation and decided to upload it and put it on youtube. I apologize for the mediocre quality but that's what happens with a lack of experience, so please enjoy. Here is a link is youtube is still down and out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlZH5cPixrg

Photo Montage

      This is the final edit of my photo montage project.  The mountain you see is called Lookout Mountain because from the top it has an expansive view in every direction and was used in the old west as, well, a lookout.  To me the significance of this mountain comes from something entirely different.  I grew up at the base of this mountain where a park was built when I was very young and is just behind where I stood to take the photos.  I spent my childhood hanging with my friends from the neighborhood in this very spot and the way I arranged the photos depict how my minds eye sees and remembers this particular place.

Extras

I had some sunset pictures that I took while I was working on my final raster project, so please enjoy.

 

Julian Beaver's Pavement Drawings

Julian Beaver is an incredibly talented artist who does all of his on the pavement.  Below is a link to his portfolio which is comprised of a variety of his drawings.  The largest and most interesting group is the anamorphic illusions section.  Under the link you see one of many examples taken from this anamorphic section, and it is a good way to get an idea for how the illusions work and what makes them so special.  Don't forget to check out the link for many more awesome anamorphic illusions.
