I got caught up into turning Facebook into the place where I post everything. Time to change that. There have been a few gravity paintings between this and the last entry. I may update the post when I sort all of that out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, a friend of mine spent an enormous amount of time helping me build a PC, and so I wanted to make him a painting in return. I was able to catch the live stream of his wedding. They were in a gazebo on a pier. In the foreground were two very white plastic chairs. Thankfully, he said his fiancée loved the color blue, so I took some liberties with all the colors. This is the first gravity painting to incorporate glow in the dark pigment. This stuff is much more powerful than what we had growing up!</p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8n-2EcC675gUInFHcZByXz4CbnQHAWMKg7XUs3ojJmpPAGkkYzf4PPQ0DOJVuvNTnjVoyVgMjVdAQguamHiiiP4oDyU9hl6gdtJT5qpVlNk3iHs5YHlGNfyXFIdKtjOmtfhJV1FwFh0s/s2509/34166772-CAC4-4641-85D2-D168D6627E59.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2509" data-original-width="1253" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8n-2EcC675gUInFHcZByXz4CbnQHAWMKg7XUs3ojJmpPAGkkYzf4PPQ0DOJVuvNTnjVoyVgMjVdAQguamHiiiP4oDyU9hl6gdtJT5qpVlNk3iHs5YHlGNfyXFIdKtjOmtfhJV1FwFh0s/s320/34166772-CAC4-4641-85D2-D168D6627E59.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipPJdsrvhsYBqXkKz_978krfDwXB2y026BVbL5mjFcErOEoChw3bMrINPd5F1cME9URKomXgw-sFSE4yVompzUaJjWcDGHZWVp7gZzJnUfkqC0ryfo-RySOVHdJTpF5mEC4nWUveoDFo4/s2048/0839BF79-CDB3-472A-B19C-FF4FEF0913B1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1042" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipPJdsrvhsYBqXkKz_978krfDwXB2y026BVbL5mjFcErOEoChw3bMrINPd5F1cME9URKomXgw-sFSE4yVompzUaJjWcDGHZWVp7gZzJnUfkqC0ryfo-RySOVHdJTpF5mEC4nWUveoDFo4/s320/0839BF79-CDB3-472A-B19C-FF4FEF0913B1.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176503217494547414.post-1557721813932282572015-02-20T11:30:00.000-08:002015-04-20T22:09:56.313-07:00Gravity #23: My Wife's Christmas PresentThis piece was done in December of 2014, and is the last of that seven painting exploration (starting with <a href="http://gravitypainting.blogspot.com/2014/12/gravity-17-icarus.html" target="_blank">Gravity Painting #17: Icarus)</a><br />
<br />
When I had wrapped, we knew that #17 & #18 would most likely do the best at the upcoming <a href="http://akwa.wish.org/content/wish-night" target="_blank">Make a Wish Gala and Auction on March 14th</a> (tickets still available!!) But, #23 had a lot of multi-color charm that my wife really liked. I may post more photos with different lighting of this piece in the future. It really changes depending on viewing angle and lighting.<br />
<br />
This piece measures 22" x 10"<br />

<br />
In a previous piece of work, I made some hints about a certain Washington State Football team which won the Superb Owl (as my non-sportsball friends like to call it) last year, and how it influenced <a href="http://gravitypainting.blogspot.com/2014/03/gravity-16-12th-wave.html" target="_blank">Gravity #16</a> (choice of colors, the wave-like motion in the piece, etc).<br />
<br />
Well, this piece below has absolutely NOTHING to do with my alma mater, the University of Oregon. Really. You don't believe me, do you?<br />
<br />
As always, click on each image for an enlarged version. I think you can even arrow key back and forth to go through all images once you do this, which will come in handy for the two very similar images below (same except for lighting direction)<br />

<br />
Anyway, my cousin is a huge fan of the UO (not sure why, but I doubt it has anything to do with football. Must be the incredible work done at the <a href="http://lockerylab.uoregon.edu/groups/main/" target="_blank">Lockery lab</a>).<br />

<br />
So, I made this piece specifically for him. In case you are wondering, the splashes of color coming out from the middle of the painting are from spinning it in the air while still wet. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It then landed on the grass in my backyard, and I spent a good 7 minutes removing clippings from it. Those created intricate lines when they were removed (see below). <br />
<br />

<br />
I think I might want to try this in a more controlled environment soon. Maybe drop grass clippings or toothpicks onto a piece, and pull them out, creating these patterns. <br />

This one explores using <a href="http://www.paascheairbrush.com/products/airbrushes-airbrush-parts-and-accessories/Airbrushes/etching-and-striping-tools/striping/fp-1-32" target="_blank">Paache's Flow Pencil</a> for tighter curves on smaller panels that were not achievable with previous techniques.<br />
<br />
These two images have the same lighting setups as the previous painting. However, because it is flatter in the middle, you'll notice most of the changes on the edges. I swear it's not the same photo twice! ;)<br />

Here's a shot of the piece as it was being made in the studio. I was debating for a little bit whether or not to include the protective drop cloth canvas with the piece, but decided against it:<br />

<br />
This piece will be for auction (along with <a href="http://gravitypainting.blogspot.com/2014/03/gravity-14-one-of-two-gravity-paintings.html" target="_blank">Gravity #14</a>) tomorrow!<br />
<br />
For those of you not into football, the colors were inspired by my local football team, that just happened to win the Super Bowl this year.<br />
<br />
I started on this piece right before the NFC Championship Game, and kept working on it through the Super Bowl. As a non-football fan, I feel like the entire city welcomed my artsy, nerdy self into the football fold with open arms. There was quite an energy in town surrounding the team as the season was beginning to wrap up, and this piece is my interpretation of it. The fact that they actually made it all the way to the Super Bowl and won it was amazing.<br />

This is the first diptych that I incorporated a spacer during the actual creation. As such, a spacer has been provided with the piece to aid in proper mounting. You can see the spacer below in these in progress shots:<br />

The only thing I didn't do with this piece that I've done with all of the other gravity paintings, is actually lay gravity lines on it before finishing it. Maybe I will later, but I doubt it. I mean, I've already signed the piece!<br />
<br />
Oh, and this one is more figurative than the rest. Literally.<br />
<br />
When I was about halfway through working on this piece, an image of a woman emerged to me, reminiscent of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nude_Descending_a_Staircase,_No._2" target="_blank">Nude Descending a Staircase.</a><br />
<br />
This piece measures 10" x 22"<br />
Deep panel (a bit more than 1.5"deep) <br />

Here's how this piece evolved:<br />
<br />
At first, the comet-like image was somewhat reminiscent of a veiled woman, perhaps in a Burqa, looking straight at the viewer.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Original under painting</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
But, after some contemplation of the piece, some of the lines stood out. I had to try something a bit new. So, I applied blue masking tape to the piece before the airbrush pass.<br />

I think one of the main reasons they liked it is because it is so incredibly dynamic! For example, look how different it looks int he two photos below, based off of not only the lighting, but also the <i>spacing </i>of both parts of the diptych. One interesting thing about this piece, is that unless your head is between the two pieces, the part further from you will appear to be brighter. Each part of the diptych measures 6" x 18", and the piece comes with some guidelines on ideal spacing.<br />

In fact, the original idea was to start one green and cover with a purple background, and do the opposite to the other. You'll see below the beginnings. This also measures 12" x 6" and is suitable for displaying on a shelf or on one's wall. For those interested this is also currently available for a $300 donation to an agreed upon charity.

Here it is next to its companion piece, #12. Note that these are best displayed with the two wooden supports actually touching each other, unlike this image below. That makes the lines between both supports flow much better. You can see a hint of Gravity #16 (12th Wave) on the left. That piece is one of two that will be at this year's sold out <a href="http://akwa.wish.org/content/wish-night" target="_blank">Make a Wish Charity Auction.</a><br />

Hey there!<br />
<br />
I've been incredibly busy, and have finished <b><i>five</i> </b>more Gravity paintings since I last posted on this blog. I wanted to give <a href="http://akwa.wish.org/" target="_blank">Make a Wish of Alaska & Washington </a>a chance to choose from the work for their annual <a href="http://akwa.wish.org/content/wish-night" target="_blank">Gala and Auction </a>before presenting it to the public. They've chosen <i><b>two</b></i> this year, and I'll be posting them in a bit!! If you are interested in those, I encourage you to find someone who is attending the sold out event and have them bid on your behalf. It is taking place on March 8th. The other works (including this one) are available by filling out the contact form on the right hand side of this blog. For your reference, this piece is currently available for a $300 donation to an approved charity. It measures 12" x 6" and is perfect for placing on a shelf, or hanging on a wall.<br />

<br />
This piece was a commission that I did for the highest bidder of the <a href="http://akwa.wish.org/" target="_blank">Make-a-Wish</a> gala and charity auction! I may offer another commission piece in their auction next year. If they have room, they'll also have at least one of my paintings if you want to bid on a finished piece and take it home that evening. This event usually takes place in March, so mark your calendar & keep checking their website.<br />
<br />
Below is the same painting, same camera angle, but different lighting. As always, click on each picture to enlarge!<br />

that has a sculpted signature, integrated into the painting. Here it is from one angle:<br />

MAKING OF...<br />
<br />
After making <a href="http://gravitypainting.blogspot.com/2012/08/gravity-9.html" target="_blank">Gravity #9</a>, I wanted to experiment more with different support thicknesses. This was the initial pattern. Before painting it, I decided to turn
this 180 degrees, so the thick corner would be on the lower left, giving
the base more weight & a lighter upper right area. (You'll see the change in the lego model that I built to help me keep track of each piece below)<br />

I created a frame to house all of the supports. The manilla file
folders were put in there so the thinnest supports would not slip under
the 2x4, which had a beveled edge.<br />

Then I put them in one at a time, upside down.<br />

After covering with plastic, I thought it would pretty easy to fill in the crevasses with foam insualtion.<br />

<br />
After 4+ cans of the stuff, This is what I ended up with. I then
covered it with the board in the background & weighted all of it
down.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijT0usj76ij5JbXtGWWJbpziMgy31lVlNmJX-SON8Qbz4McQuSJ8H2N7GVDuonU484z6OGnc21d3Ta9qvXN4zHn2e3s_D3A86nFkp68orhISVIr1RG4RbXf3r8NcmGEUvV9piqTDNhO8E/s1600/IMG_5121_Sized.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijT0usj76ij5JbXtGWWJbpziMgy31lVlNmJX-SON8Qbz4McQuSJ8H2N7GVDuonU484z6OGnc21d3Ta9qvXN4zHn2e3s_D3A86nFkp68orhISVIr1RG4RbXf3r8NcmGEUvV9piqTDNhO8E/s1600/IMG_5121_Sized.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
After a few more days than was recommended for it to to cure, I then
flipped it over, and took what was the bottom (now on top) off. It
was still squishy, like a water bed! And, the pieces weren't level.
This technique was an expensive failure. But this is probably a good
thing, because this is not the most eco-friendly way to make a painting,
and I don't want to repeat this process.<br />

<br />
On the plus side, I had a pretty cool reverse sculpture.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So, back to the drawing board. I ended up using CD cases, effectively
locking up my CD collection for the next few months as I worked on this.
As you can see, I used a Lego model to help make sure I assembled it
correctly.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then, I added the texture.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_LNejUnE0tVo6KzdmhgjN6yFwZDLKJba5i2bqW02i8ZG0lKBRR8AWXX9_az-ytI8czbcNaXWfVH6WavdvqHCkIwhjP3dEnausEJvLlWoUoWhs8_GjtIjp6bH8EWXPsMrAdn6OKD75VLA/s1600/IMG_5209_Sized.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_LNejUnE0tVo6KzdmhgjN6yFwZDLKJba5i2bqW02i8ZG0lKBRR8AWXX9_az-ytI8czbcNaXWfVH6WavdvqHCkIwhjP3dEnausEJvLlWoUoWhs8_GjtIjp6bH8EWXPsMrAdn6OKD75VLA/s1600/IMG_5209_Sized.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
And, started on the underpainting. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Once it was done, I reused file folders to protect the garage from over-spray.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The view from this side, now colored.<br />

Then, I applied the gravity lines.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The pieces were cut apart. I love this image: It shows how well they
stick together by using this technique. Hmm... going to have to explore
this further for paintings meant to stand on their own on shelves.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

All that is left is to paint the edges & mount to a single backing.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The original backing support was 1 1/2" thick. The total thickness would have
been 3" if I used the original wooden support that I had in mind. So, I
bought the most sturdy, non-warping, weather resistant plywood I could
find. To obscure the edge of the plywood, I trimmed it in about an inch
on each side & also painted it black. I then used the highest
quality waterproof wood glue available and mounted each piece. I
weighed each piece down with 36 pounds of my wife's exercise weights.<br />

1) It is for charity<br />
-and-<br />
2) Some of my gravity painting techniques are used in this piece.<br />
<br />
A couple of weeks ago, I got an email at work from one of my coworkers. He was casting a wide net in the artist pool, to see if anyone wanted to paint something that would be sold for charity. It turned out that our good friends at <a href="http://www.popcap.com/plants-vs-zombies" target="_blank">PopCap Games</a> wants to highlight their upcoming game sequel to Plants vs Zombies, and is going to be having a booth at <a href="http://www.comic-con.org/" target="_blank">San Diego Comicon</a>. <br />
<br />
At their booth, they are going to showcase <a href="http://www.kidrobot.com/ShopAll/Brands/MUNNYWORLD/" target="_blank">Mega Munnys</a> that have been painted in the style of <br />
Plants vs Zombies Characters. I decided to make mine based off of the Hypno-Shroom:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcCQ8ZSBGkgm9f1ylgavz702Q0ouTcOswxisdWslbibqJvBDQqtGXHCTD0FMTnopUecs_Nux0zkrRwvtmhNvvvpEfoNBJF4NNPVYbLNciGGqqpgMMYKQm0spt0FxLxjq2ucI1cQ2X28aY/s1600/hypnoShroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcCQ8ZSBGkgm9f1ylgavz702Q0ouTcOswxisdWslbibqJvBDQqtGXHCTD0FMTnopUecs_Nux0zkrRwvtmhNvvvpEfoNBJF4NNPVYbLNciGGqqpgMMYKQm0spt0FxLxjq2ucI1cQ2X28aY/s1600/hypnoShroom.jpg" /></a></div>
For those not in the know, when a zombie eats this, they turn around, and start eating other zombies! As it was one of the more colorful characters, I thought it would work best with my style.<br />
<br />
After being displayed at their booth, they are going to auction them off, with the proceeds going to <a href="http://www.childsplaycharity.org/" target="_blank">Child's Play </a>charity. It's a great cause & I encourage you to donate to it as well!<br />
<br />

I'm very fortunate to have a wonderful full time job that is not only satisfying, but also pays the bills. And, that is saying a LOT in this economy! This is a small way for me to give back to my community.<br />
<br />
Because I have a full time job, it means I'm not able to make as many paintings as a full time artist. So, these are quite rare. My first priority is to fulfill commission painting agreements that have sold at charity auction. I donate all material and labor costs for these pieces.<br />
<br />
If I have extra time, I take on non-auctioned commissions in a way that maximizes the amount of money that goes to charity, while covering my material costs. My time is still donated. Gravity #5 came to $300 in material costs alone. I used some very, very high quality paint and support material for it. After consulting with my accountant, here's what we came up with:<br />
<br />
The buyer and I determine what type of piece I'll be creating. Usually, we talk about size, support, colors, and intention for the piece. Then, we determine the final cost of the painting, and the charity we'll be supporting. When the buyer takes delivery of the piece, I receive two payments. One is for material costs, and the other is made out to the charity. <br />
<br />
I also encourage all donors who have a piece from this exploration to consider this personal request: If you ever resell any of the paintings from this exploration, it is my wish that 10% of the sale price be donated to charity. I've written that on the back of some of them. This isn't legally binding, but wouldn't it be great if every time it passed from one collector to another, a little was given to charity?<br />
<br />
Speaking of which, I wanted to point out which pieces have already sold for charity:<br />
<br />
GRAVITY #TBA <br />
I sold a commission painting
agreement last weekend at <a href="http://www.makeawishwa.org/" target="_blank">Make a Wish's Annual Gala</a> silent auction! As I was hovering around my paintings in the final minutes, I was able to meet and speak briefly to the couple who bought it. And, I couldn't be happier to know for who my next piece will be made! Thank you again for donating to this cause! I'm looking forward to hearing from you in the near future! <br />

I also sold #9 at the Gala. Thank you VERY much to the donor at that event! It was really great meeting you there too! I hope you enjoy it for many years to come. Below is a picture of it as a work in progress. <br />

So, the interesting thing about this painting technique is that the piece looks different from different angles. For a better understanding of how I did this, please read the previous two entries. <a href="http://gravitypainting.blogspot.com/2012/08/gravity-10-work-in-progress.html" target="_blank">Entry 1</a> and <a href="http://gravitypainting.blogspot.com/2012/09/gravity-10-work-in-progress-part-2.html" target="_blank">Entry 2</a>.<br />
<br />
Long story short(er): I made thick textures on the board with <a href="http://www.goldenpaints.com/VIDEO/library.php?ID=52" target="_blank">pumice gel</a>
and then sculpted it with a serrated clay tool, to make gouges and
ridges in the gel. I then painted the entire piece. When it was dry, I
then used an airbrush aimed not at the piece, but parallel to it! The
paint only landed on one side of each ridge, in the rainbow design seen above. The detail shots
below make this more apparent.<br />

Except for one mistake, I only sprayed it from one direction. This make is so that it looks different from different angles. Confused? Pictures are worth a thousand words. Take a look below.<br />

This is the angle in which I sprayed the paint. I know where this painting is going to hang in the person's house who it is being made for. When people exit the dining room & head into the living room, it will look like this (plus all of the splatter lines). You can see part of <a href="http://gravitypainting.blogspot.com/2012/08/gravity-9.html" target="_blank">Gravity Painting #9</a> in this shot, along with Lori Chandler-Lewis's "Pointy Garden"<br />

This is the same painting from the other angle. When they go from the living room into the dining room, this is what they'll see.<br />

<br />
If the painting is looked at head on, this is what it will look like. Mostly. I had a huge challenge photographing this painting, because I only have two flood lights. Normally when one photographs flat art, one can simply place the floods to either side of the image, and there is little or no glare. Not so with this image. Because the canvas has been altered by adding sculpted lines, any no diffuse lighting results in glare. I ended up lighting it from a bunch of different angles & blending the angles together in Photoshop to get the most accurate image possible.<br />

FinallyHere ya go. I wasn't as happy with this one as some of the other work I've done. The smooth texture of the airbrushed background didn't integrate as well with the line art on the foreground. Some may find this more pleasing. Hey, the artist can't<i> always </i>be right :) I think it was a worthy experiment, and it provided a lot of feedback for gravity #10. Namely, the texture work I did when laying down the gesso was not dramatic enough to get the effect I was looking for. <a href="http://gravitypainting.blogspot.com/2012/08/gravity-9.html" target="_blank">Gravity Painting #9</a> proved to be more successful in that regard.<br />

Right now I have the first part of the underpainting complete. Now, I need to apply color from an angle, like I did in #9, so the color will change depending on the angle in which it is viewed.<br />
<br />

New Painting! Using a sculpted background and airbrush for a specific effect<br />

I love helping people think consciously about their own perceptions :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176503217494547414.post-36222233986669722232012-06-14T23:56:00.003-07:002012-06-14T23:57:18.874-07:00Gravity Painting #7... or #8??So, I am doing a commission piece for a friend which is going to be a set of five panels. So far, I've gotten the gesso on the panels. So, does that count as #7? Because tonight, I met a fellow named Will who needed his coveralls painted for the upcoming <a href="http://www.fremontfair.org/" target="_blank">Fremont Parade</a>. And, I started & finished it tonight. Oh, nad they are coveralls, not exactly canvas (kinda, but not really...) So do they even count at all??<br />
<br />
The nice thing about this project is that I was able to test out some new paints. I'm going to be painting a fair number of Naked Bicyclists who have a wonderful habit of showing up before the parade actually happens on Saturday. I was able to figure out the best combination of paint, medium & water.<br />
Here's the results:<br />

This piece was an exercise in trying a new substrate, as well as mixing mediums. <br />
<br />
I chose a 12" <a href="http://www.ampersandart.com/gesso.html" target="_blank">Ampersand "GessoBord"</a> for this piece. I also wanted to try some earth tones. Because this piece is only 12"x'12", I only laid down the background colors in paint, and used a Japanese calligraphy pen for the lines.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTn6oN5pFMumcysZOEMMX9l43NbD08m-DFWzZwXxDBA5AVqKxIjQbJzfChLQwssqwUtrwkSoiFKd719Ok9PBXdJazuV3GRV_v8qgpmiAZFpoOs0On5GjWiswP54-e86uV9N2NMConDV-4/s1600/IMG_7437_Gravity6_01InkWork.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTn6oN5pFMumcysZOEMMX9l43NbD08m-DFWzZwXxDBA5AVqKxIjQbJzfChLQwssqwUtrwkSoiFKd719Ok9PBXdJazuV3GRV_v8qgpmiAZFpoOs0On5GjWiswP54-e86uV9N2NMConDV-4/s320/IMG_7437_Gravity6_01InkWork.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
When I was getting ready to do a gloss medium wash over the piece, I found out that the ink was water soluble. Yay! A happy accident that worked in my favor.<br />

The results were incredibly humbling.<br />
<br />
First, there is a video of Amy Shackleton's process, here: <a href="http://fragg.me/video/amy-shackleton-painting-gravity" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">(Click for Video Link)</a><br />
<br />
Not only is the process & result incredible, when you go to her website's gallery, it is obvious that she is prolific.<br />
<br />

Feeling like I should go crawl into a dark, warm cozy place for a while now. But, the great thing about the modern world, is that there is room for many artists, with many different styles. It's great to see how others are using gravity and material science to create such work!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com
