What happens when you take a photo of your finger accidently? You turn it into something other than an accident... the photo of my finger that I took looked like the silhouette of a face... so here are a few characters: Finger Faces!
I won an iPad in a contest a while back. It has been one of the most fun things to use—there is always something new to learn or do on it. Like ArtStudio—it's a quite robust app that allows for drawing. I used my fingers, but I assume a stylus would make it more precise. So on a drive up the mountains (sitting in the passenger seat ;) I played around with ArtStudio for the first time. It's a lot of fun. I hope to do more...
Here is the green monster I created. (Hmm. Green monsters seem to be some type of weird theme.)
Tonight I found a dragonfly trapped in our garage door light fixture. I heard him/her buzzing around and knew I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight if I didn't try to rescue it. So I got up on a ladder and found a way to open it up and it flew out only to go directly toward the light bulbs in the back of the garage. So I scrabbled over and turned all the lights off and I heard its wings buzz loud and the softly away into the dimly lit outdoors. Ah, it was saved!
However, about 30 minutes after I did this, the most torrential downpour—a massive, rain, thunder, and lightening storm—started. So not sure I saved its life. I could have sent it into the wild world of chaotic rain. Here's to hoping he/she made it - a little homage to my dragonfly.
Here's one past project (Day 83) that I imported and fancied up.
I love zooming into digital pictures. Sometimes I do it when designing just as a relief to my eyes from looking at a certain image for while. A kind of "reset" and suddenly there are entirely new pictures, creations, little stained-glass windows right there... here's a few:
So, from my link to Dreamlines yesterday, I kept playing and came up with all of these. These creations inspire new ideas. Mr. Leonardo Solaas, thanks for creating such a creative tool. (There's also a doodl application that is similar and allows for uploading personal pics, too, if you want to try it. And a flickr group for all the photos.)
evermeg's DreamLines for March 31:
candles glowing, leaves a' blowing, people knowing
kumbaya, my Lord
We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of the dreams
Today is my husband's and my 8th anniversary.
A few years ago I created these images for him using a data/word logorithm visualization tool. Each one utilized words and then created shapes and colors based on the letters and words in the phrases. I can't find the tool that I used to create these. The tool is Dreamlines. The Solaas site has many more fun ‘new media art’ and 'data visualization' tools.
So I was looking for something similar and searched for "data visualization," "logarithmic art," "logarithmic image creator." I couldn't find what I was looking for, but I did find a lot of other cool graphic visualization stuff (for example, this, and this (<---WeFeelFine... really wild), and this.) There's even some really geeky programming tools that can help you build this kind of stuff yourself (ie. Processing).
So with Abstract01js I created this burst of fireworks, life, and color for today in celebration of our anniversary! Here's to many, many more Adam.
So a while back (like 2-3 years ago) I did some "photoshop sketching" - just messing around. And I drew this "Think Man" (bottom picture). Since then I've always thought about creating a "Think Woman" as well. Here she is... Day 3 of creating! I simply sketched these in Photoshop with several selected brushes and layers.
