A home for voided heroes |
Taking the photo editing and the juxtapositioning of toys in places one wouldn’t expect to the next level, I’ve added a tiny toy puzzle that I got from a coworker who’s been to Africa to another picture I’ve recently taken. It’s not exactly the right angle, and the lighting isn’t 100% the same, but it does kinda look like the hippo’s are actually part of the picture (if you don’t look too closely)
It’s been getting colder over here, and though I do not care much for snow when trying to get around, I do love the aesthetic of it. There’s not really snow here yet, more like a thin sheet of frozen dew that has descended upon the world and gives everything a nice white sheen. When I was about today for work I found this little windmill, which was just begging to be used for a contraption.
Before the break of dawn today I was already on my way. When the streets are still silent, there is an eerie but gorgeous quality to the mood. I’ve tried to capture that in this picture. The road completely empty, darkness still on the edges but the path itself is very well lit. I’ve included both the original and the edited version for comparison.
Continuing the lonely teddybear train of thought I started yesterday, I made a series of photo’s that I’ll be editing, of just such a teddybear. Here’s the first one in that series, and the observant ones will notice, that yes, she is wearing the same outfit the girl in the previous picture.
I got inspired by a little girl who made some photographs of a “lonely teddy bear”. and have since begun to take some pictures of stuffed animals and action figures, and edit them to get them to match a certain style. This first picture is Kaylee from firefly, placed in a flowerbed hanging from my balcony, and edited to look more vintage.
I wanted to do something with surrealism or abstraction. Now the realism bit in this picture is not very well defined. nor was it intended to, it’s there to give the idea of a “real” world vs the more abstract area and line based image on the right. The lines to the right become stronger, more defined while the shapes themselves are lost.
I’ve set out to make a caricature today. I read up on it a bit and its mostly about exaggerating known features. So after looking in the mirror for a bit, I’ve written down a few things. The glasses stand out a lot, I have a high forehead, and somewhat thin but wide lips. All those features can be recognized in the resulting drawing, but it looks more like a comic character than a caricature of myself. The hair and glasses i think are recognizable, but that’s about it.
Todays contraption is a bit of a collage of a bunch of stuff i did before. I wanted to see what else i could do with the Pixel logo, and this is what came out of it:
Today I wanted to do something a little more abstract. I started out with a mandelbrot fractel, and by accident copied it into the same work folder that the lips were in. Interested in how these two would mesh together I started messing with pixelation, coloroverlap and repetition. The end result I think is very reminiscent of the Pop art style.
