Arte Especial


INSPIRATION

A lot of my inspiration for art pieces that I construct over a long period of time comes from a constant source, such as another person's blog or my own collection of digital and analog photographs. The project above illustrates the focus that needs to be present when I am creating art pieces, with attention to detail and and eye for organization.

MECHANICS

I went about placing each of the unique skylines close enough to each other so that they blend into a infinitely growing city, stretching miles past the horizon. I next made sure that the differing shades of grey, black and white would go together well, in that the clouds covering the cities are casting shadows.

AESTHETICS

Strictly for aesthetic reasons only, I placed a private jet in the sky, overlooking all of the many microcosms below. I also made sure that the clouds were reverse colors.

Nuevo Exhibición Artistico

Hey whats up?

Making progress on my new edition to my magazine, with all sorts of interesting stuff to view, read and fill in the blanks. I've just been going to class and making art at all times of the day and/or night, playing disc golf here and there, as well as DJing in my free time. I like to display whatever kind of art I can whenever I can and pretty soon I'm thinking about doing a little live art while music is played by a DJ or band. My goal is to get a reaction, any reaction to the art and music that I like to make. Enjoy the post and KEEP IT REAL.

ART


INSPIRATION

This piece of art displays yet another interpretation of my taste for music illustrated through my art. As you can tell, I wanted to get rid of the square picture edges, so I embellished the image with a couple different stylized brushes with vines and leaves.

MECHANICS

I used multiple records, including one broken into pieces and with blend modes I melded the pictures together. I replaced the outside corners on the centered turntable image with vines and leaf brushes for a more dramatic look.

AESTHETICS

I made sure to maintain the original vintage look of the centered turntable image and by doing that I kept the surrounding objects in the same general color scheme. Just for personal reasons I didn't change any of the contrast, although I did add some saturation for a vignette type of look.
