Just To Fill In the Gap

Haven't posted for some time so I thought I'll post up some imaginative creative works by other interesting mammals while surfing around till my next post.


Alex Trochut

A freelance artist into both Typography and Illustration, great use of graphical shapes as typo as well as the silhouette of a type for illustration and a jumble of both to create some of the most awesome graphical illustrious typography.

It's amazing how just by using black you could create depth and texture through graphical lines and shapes, example for "10 ways", it's smooth and slick with oil like vinyl records, pieces of plastic layered on top of each other the flow of energy.





Vlad Artazov ~ Nail Series

Photographer from Czech Republic.

Actually crossed through his work through Victor Navone's blog, and like Victor said it's a great thing to study the staging, lighting and just the kinds of personality and character which a regular nail can portray.



Strange thing though, I find that the BWhite photos evoke a stronger emotion and believability that the nails are alive compared to the Coloured photos, maybe the colours just made it too realistic and not as impressionistic compared to the BW.




Anyway enjoy, till my next update.

Pot Luck Practice 02 ~ Norman Moonwalks

It's strange how somethings come around in a odd karma~tic sorta way. Before going down to Singapore for CGOverdrive last month I picked out MJ Moonwalk from my pot luck practice and come 3 weeks later MJ passes away.

It was going to be such a cliche animation but either way it would be great to study MJ's illusion of walking while gliding backwards, so I pulled out my Double Gold Disc MJ History album and MJ's one and only Moonwalker the movie. Things I'd had to take care was to make sure it looked convincing and that Norman was doing a sliding walk and not just floating backwards and the other thing was to make it look as though it had the illusion of weightlessness while trying to maintain some sort of weight to the animation itself, which in a way is an oxymoron for animation principles.

Anyway here it is, any feed back would be appreciated.
