Cat’s Bad Dream

Cat's Bad DreamI once has an awful dream of this tortured alley cat with barbed wire whiskers and its head stuck in a cage.  But I couldn’t convey the emotional revulsion I had while asleep in the art – so I’ve opted to go for the humorous angle.

I Don’t Know Either

I Don't Know EitherWhat it means, that is.  Just pretty in a surreal way.

Photo manipulation is the creation of  a new image by combining and altering existing ones.  There is a whole group of artists that create stock just to supply others with images to use.

I enjoy it as it enables me to create an interesting work fairly quickly.  Sometimes it’s like composing music by sampling.

So thanks to all the stock providers.

Sunny Day

Sunny Day

The concept: The overly bright summer sun that practically puts you in a hallucinogenic trance – where your eyes fill with pulsing patterns from the intensity of the sky and the integrity of the sights & colors around you fail.

London, 1952 – Pt 1

London, 1952Found these photos taken by my late father-in-law.  They’re interesting in their own right but I can’t resist messing them up.

The date is based on the titles of the films showing at the theater – FBI Girl & 5 Fingers.

The Dominion Theater is on Tottenham Court Road, in the London Borough of Camden.

Mandelbulb Art

Commuter LineWhen I first started generating fractals on a PC it was on a 386 chip running Windows 3.1 sometime in the late 1980′s.
The software was WinFract & it was amazing.  And, then too, I was mixing other art into the generated images.

Recently, I came across MandelBulb and… well, words fail.  You see the sort of 3D detail it can render.  There is a whole world of art produced from it – just Google it.

The fact that I can effortlessly get results like this – the original 3000 x 2000 pixel image rendered on my Core i7 in under 6 minutes – is just a marvel.
