The Hummingbirds

Another digital piece (Blender/Photoshop) demonstrating my still-developing 3D skills. For now, I enjoy the fact that I'm still learning & making mistakes, & my hummingbirds don't look exactly like hummingbirds should...as they prepare to attack & destroy the Coronavirus.

The Angel and the Isle of the Dead

This is an experiment combining two sculptures created in Blender (3D modeling software), and then practically obliterating the result in Photoshop by applying multiple filters. I think it works quite well, especially for a throwaway.

Multiple Views of New Babel Tower

Views of tower & globe from New Babel

Above is a composite image made of different screen grabs (outside & inside) of the AR image of the New Babel Tower & Globe...these were actually taken in Union Square Park, NYC. Thanks to Minhye (Min) Kwak for development & programming.

Time's Dream (digital version)

This is a new painting I did today. By the time I got around to taking a photo, it had gotten dark outside, so I tried to take a photo of the piece on the kitchen floor. Unfortunately, under the artificial lights, the photo didn't come out very well. I could have discarded the images, but instead decided to manipulate the least blurry photo in Photoshop to see if anything could be salvaged or even altered in an interesting way. This is the result...I think it's worth posting here & I will take a better photo tomorrow. In daylight.

Shattered Beauty

"The Futility of Beauty" (see below) digitally altered in Pixlr Express, an online image editor. Aged about 1,000 years...

A World Full of Angels

I was just fooling around with Pixlr, which is a free, online image editor that works in your browser. It's obviously based on Photoshop-style image editing programs, which means that it's pretty easy & intuitive to use (if you know Photoshop). This is the "kaleidoscope" filter, which reminds me of Kai's Power Tools of days long gone by...

Darkness Visible Tonight

A digital recombining of 2 or more versions of the same drawing...the digital rendering works much better than the piece itself. Sometimes accidents show us the way.

Below is the actual finished version of the drawing/painting:

The Great Manipulator

Another smallish tondo, with a digital variation.
