My digital art projects

Chillen

Just chillen playing with some new Boutons in Photoshipe >=) thought I would paste this fun clock design I made.

Move 36

Move 36 a digital piece created by Eduardo Kac is not only a peice of an art but a life summarized into a single picture. Just like in Sherman this peice uses a strong source of light to focus down on the plant. Showing and creating a life for the plant and distinguishing it from the chess board that has a ghostly appearance in the background. Although the plant is center the composition is saved by the direction and angle of the checkerboard and squares on the board. While the green on the plant itself boldly stands out agianst the background.

Although we may only be seeing a simple plant the viewer is left with more then just a picture of a plant but a photo of life. With chess or checkers in mind thanks to the background the viewer might beckon in his or her mind for the plant to keep moving or to show its next step. At the same time the green that is taking control of the whole page may be saying to the viewer that this chess peice is actually alive and can move on its own. This not only creates interest but it also creates an urge or an understanding of motion. There should be a play button underneath this peice that could be touched to provoke the plant onward.

Sherman

Red, red, and more red what more needs to be said about this piece. It’s bleeding feeling in a flow of red down the blanket and back up to her hair. The light on her shoulder makes her pop out of the background like a beacon for the eyes. While the light on here eyes keep the viewer locked into her emotion and how she is feeling. With her body centered and her legs raised it creates a great composition that fills up the whole page while at the same time, refraining from overwhelming the viewer.

The red in this picture brings up a lustful feeling while her eyes create an exposed, sympathetic, and innocent feeling. Almost as if someone just walked into the room on her and found her like that without her consent. The mood overwhelms and the red leads the viewer to wanting to see what happens next or what may have happened. Several of her photo reflect this feeling and over time I believe she may have perfected what she was going for.

David Ho

Candice a piece created for David Ho's ghost series represents a darker inner beauty. This personally sparks my interests since it relates to an inner darkness I have. The Contrast between the face and the ribs reflects the innonence she is using to hide the corrupt feelings she may have just below her clothes. While the plain gray mesh colored background is left blank to keep the viewers eye on the girl and what she is trying to show. Finally the dirty ragged clothes may be depicting the hardships that the girl went through that made her the way she is.

David Ho also seems to have a darker side. After looking at many of his pieces you start to find a pattern of darkness and corrupt art. He uses extreme darks and extreme lights in many of his pieces which creates interest for me and probably many other viewers out there. The whole ghost series alone is enough to convince anyone that David Ho has had some kind of rough hardship or visually morbid background.

Intro to Blogs

Hey sorry about my first try on creating my Blogger account. I am sure I have fixed any problems and have figured out why it deleted my old account. These blogger accounts should be usefull in the future and I am grateful you are showing them to us. Hopefully this will be sent to the right person and will start out my posts correctly for the rest of the year
