The Hand Off.
Hi blog. How are you? I am AWFUL. Here's a piece I drew in 2005, but updated it. It's a Flash movie, about two and a half minutes long. Click on the image above or click here to view it.
First I took a picture of a canvas.
Then I overlayed the drawing on the canvas in Photoshop.
Then I painted the picture in with my opacity set such that the paint looked like it was being absorbed by the canvas.
Then I embroidered a few stitches and photographed those.
Then I made them all designy in Photoshop as to create a landscape.
I placed the landscape behind the people.
Then I exported two layers from Photoshop: (1) the background, and (2) the people.
I made a Flash movie with the two components moving at different rates.
Ta da!
Also my Women and Children piece got an honorable mention at the LICA Show.
