Tapes

This is my first foray into tape-based work, and i really like it. One cos of the scale, its ace on such a large scale, but also because of the inherit structure of the tape, it stops my natural urge to curve my lines and leaves a lot more rigid result at the end. Tape=awesome.

Black

Here's a couple using different takes on the same technique - the first is exploring dark tones to light on a dark background, the second is inspired by the wiring systems of before but is more about synchronisation

Sic Transit Gloria... Glory Fades

Very loosley based on lines, i know, but nonetheless...



what i love about this video is the relationship between such an interesting concept with the music. Lyrically, there's no relationship, but emotionally there's a huge connection.

This is and artist called BuffDiss who works in almost all white tape on walls, floors and generally anywhere, inc his trademark pointing finger. Check it

So i really like the concept, and after being nudged in the general direction by Luke Hallam i began starting to think about scale and tape and how i could utilise that in my specific style. The main problem i've always found with what i do, along with being extremely time consuming, is that, when drawing in a rush, and generally due to human error, the straight lines start to become....less straight and sometimes just plain curves. So coloured tape would fix this, while also giving serious weight to the lines, making a lot more ordered and structured resolution.

Here's my attempt...

i'm thinking if i have enough time at the end to do a video of me taping it, similar to this by Buff Diss

Short Circuit

So a few of the reactions i got in the last crit to my work was to look at circuit boards. So i did. these are just a few images, i also took apart an old nintendo controller and tape player which i have yet to photograph.




The main point about these is the way the lines interconnect, so as im starting to deal a little with colour as well having all these interconnecting coloured lines makes for an intersting mix.

And here's my video based on circuits. Its very basic, don't laugh, and my pen was running out, AND it looks a mess, but its a general interpretation.

This is a guy called Alexander Stewart who used tape cassette tape

Watch to the end...

How The West Was Won

HOW TO.....create the perfect pavlova.

I wish.

How to create a reading list. Well easy - get some paper and a pen and write the books you want to read on it.
But this is obviously not meant to be that simple.

First off, i signed in, went to my home page and voila!



albeit without the red and yellow boxes, i added those, pretty aren't they? Everyone should use Paint and only Paint from now on.
So i even have a reading list in my blog! Which i didn't know.
The main problem that i can see is how to make making a reading list interesting/relevant. I think it'll be a case of simplifying the instructions and making it seem like something everyone should do. Hmmm.

The Mummy

Here's another one i'm working on, though its only half way through, if that, so the first video is half what i've done, at a slightly faster frames/second speed, the second all i've got so far but slightly slower.
