wallpaper inspirations

Wallpaper

Inspired by Japanese Woodcuts, Art Deco, and of course the OCEAN.

A response to the comments from my previous post...

so because in no way am i as carefuly and meticulous as Brian Dettmer, i am using his techniques as inspiration for another type of project. I would like to create a book of images, and cut into each image so that there is a window into the next. The images will all be from my winter session last january in Vietnam. We'll see how this goes...

Book Arts

Anytime I hear anything about combining Books and Art, I think of Brian Dettmer. Brian uses old books to create insanely detailed sculptures simply by cutting through layers of text and images. The old books he uses experience new life the second he begins making incisions as the characters inside literally leap off the pages.

Here's another image that came up on a book art search that looks pretty cool. It seems to be a photoshop creation, using an image of a book.

Recent shoot

Had a pretty successful photoshoot this sunday, here's one. Concept is to be like a mugshot, information for an event is supposed to be written on the board and will be overlaid in later.

Model: Gena Soffer. Lighting, 3 hot lights, one to either side, one above. Camera: Canon 5D; Lens: 70-200mm f4IS

two unfinished "sketches"

Didn't wind up using either of these

Jeff Soto

Former graffiti artist, Jeff Soto, now paints his own style of "Pop-Surrealism" His wacky painting of fantastically odd characters and explosions sometimes incorporate words that are as much a part of the image as everything else. His style is comprised of largely central compositions, that utilize background and foreground elements to reach out to the sides of the canvas. His specific color palette keeps the compositions whimsical, yet industrial.
