The Interactive 'Interaction of Color' ⇒

This, this is really awesome. An interactive site that shows you just how tricky color is.

speednoisemovement:

Yesterday, I soft launched The Interactive ‘Interaction of Color’. It’s a bunch of (eventually, almost all of) the exercises in Josef Albers’ Interaction of Color, but in pixels when they were designed for construction paper, and with some extra tricks. If you have any interest in design…

{ Watercolors } Thinking and Dreaming


{ Growth of Thought } Watercolor from my very first set, 6/29/09. Inspired by networks, trees, and trains of thought.

Wow, these are over a year old. It’s amazing to look back on the subject matter you were once obsessed over. For me, I was pretty adamant about the manga, now less so, but you still see the adorable factor carry over.

3 Birds is under New Hotness! 3rd derby submission is doing well (appropriately for the “three” themed derby). One thing I like emphasizing in my process for shirt design is the placement. The front of our bodies, as a canvas, are rarely flat. Draw shapes to wrap around the curves!

Awhile back, someone suggested that I try joining the shirt design community, and making some pocket change with my abilities. Here’s the first stab on Woot! Shirt’s current Psychedelia derby. Version with a hand: http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=42692

A gift for a friend. Supersheep (from Worms) as interpreted by said friend: 4 shades of anti-pill fleece softness all around.

Isn’t it weird how reliant we are on blogs and RSS feeds? Admittedly, I follow many of my favorite artists that way. If I like what I see, I just pop them into my Google Reader into my “Art” folder. Today I came across Chihiro Iwasaki. The beautiful, simple, and lively watercolours captured my heart. I had a tough time picking just one to feature in this post. (Though, a simple image search would bring you to more wonder!) It makes me think about all the artist out there, not the ones you find in textbooks, who carry this kind of talent. Living or legend, as the y-generation, I felt like we’ve become so reliant on these means to discover new things. It’s rather parallel to the way that time, energy, and resources limits the execution of our creativity. Sure, our creativity itself is boundless.. but we will never be capable of sharing every bit of it. In the same way, knowledge is boundless.. but we gravitate to the outlets which are most familiar and easy to use.

Begin, the style emulation sketch series. Inspired by blow at life’s human-like figures. Notes: progress update, stress relief, one day I’ll scan all these finished watercolors…
