My first ever stop-motion

This took me waaaaaaaaay to long!

The making of the light box

Making a light box to dabble in stop-motion animation - 

It started with a potato box, and was just a little bit uneven:

Cut a hole so I can move the light underneath:

Experimented with tracing paper as the surface:

But that wasn't quite what I was hoping for...so then it became magical!

 

The beauty of the greaseproof paper is that it comes in a long roll so I can easily replace the surface when it gets a bit grubby, and as my idea is to use coffee to make the animation that's going to happen quite a lot I think.

P.S.

I WANT TO LEARN TO DRAW

And I think the first step is to find a style. I have had an epiphany today, that you don't have to be able to draw to be able to draw. I need to mess about with different ways of representing things, and stylize MY way of drawing.

Tigerrrrrrr

I just like these

Idea

Display ideas for the busts - 

victims covered with gold leaf and murderers decorated beautifully in a style from their state or country of origin

all left all white with a small circle of glass in the side of the murderer's heads with a small scene of the murder staged inside their mind

Process images

I've been doing a bit of work recently... here are some images of it developing

"Self" by Mark Quinn

Yes, a head. Made of the artist's own blood. Creepy much?


Even more creepy, one of his son, made with the placenta and umbilical chord... eek, even by my standards.

    

   

Doodling is kind of fun, I suppose

Jules Spinatsch


Temporary Discomfort documents Davos, Genoa, New York and Evian/Geneva in a transitory state of emergency lock-down during the global economic summits. It combines different photographical genres: landscape photography, photojournalism and police photography, though here with the camera lens turned back at the security forces. The series and videos aim to achieve a speculative reconstruction of the situations in those cities. The work is speculative not only in terms of these facts but also in regard to the use and expectations of documentary photography. Further, it raises questions about the conditions under which photography is and can be produced today.

New work new work new work new work!

Where's my idea?

I still have nothing.

What's first

Well, so I've been asked to send a proposal of what the hell I think I'm going to do this year to Andy before our first one-to-one tutorial on the 11th. That's not so bad, because I have no idea, so I can just say I have no idea, although I have lots of ideas (if you see what I mean). As in there are lots of things I want to pursue/create/design this year, but deciding on just one thread is where I'm having trouble. The thing that's giving me the heebeejeebees at the moment is the simplest, sending a few images of my work (easy) and an artist's statement by the 4th. As in the day after tomorrow. I have spent the last 2 years justifying my work, but not describing it! I just feel as though all the projects I did last year were so different from each other, I don't really know how to show any link or development. All I know at this stage is that they were completely dependent on how I was feeling at the time I did them. So I'm mulling mulling mulling...
