Grotto Print Ideas #1

Print Ideas & Adam Bridgland (Jealous London) –  Today we had an interesting talk about the ‘Grotto Project’ formerly ‘Merch’. Adam Bridgland from Jealous London came along to share some insights and revealed a lot of useful information – see a selection of his slides at the end from the talk.  I’ve just been looking at the deadlines and I’ve realised that I really do need to start moving on this. Some very interesting takeaways from the talk included answers to questions such as: what was a popular poster colour? What kind of images sold well?  Adam suggested that blue was a popular colour and skulls, butterflies and cute cats seemed to do quite well.  Unfortunately the human form, unless comprising a skull did not seem to fair quite so well. I’ve produced many digital images over the years, but the thought of choosing just one singular image to print has really made me think.  I have some interesting macro photographs of oil on water hanging on my walls.  One was bought by a large Australian advertising company, one hangs in the local hospital and one appears on an album cover.  Even Adobe use some of my work.  Therefore I can’t […]

London

Time & Travel  It’s Better to Travel Than to Arrive? – This was a quote I stumbled across earlier this year.  Unfortunately I’m not sure who said it, but given I was travelling to London I decided to use it anyway.  This was the first of two trips to London this year.  As I am a keen photographer I decided to document anything interesting.  I couldn’t help but notice that the light was particularly beautiful at Newton Abbot train station.  However this was nothing compared to the beauty of the ceiling structures at Paddington train station.  Below is a small collection of images including the view from my hotel window. A Few Random Shots with My Smartphone Unfortunately I had decided to leave my DSLR at home.  However, should I ever decide to shoot Paddington station again these are the kind of shots I would take with my DSLR.  My smartphone is great for this activity, but maybe not so good with its pixel count.     The Most Underwhelming Time-Lapse Ever! At the start of this blog I muted – it is better to travel than to arrive?  I’m not sure that is strictly true, but just in case, […]

Amazing!

The Best Tutorial Yet! – This has to be my most challenging and rewarding tutorial so far. Apart from the complexity of the node network the instructor was speaking in Chinese which sadly I can’t understand. To work my way through such a complex node system I feel that I must be learning something. Just for the record, I wasn’t actually wearing my pyjamas, I was wearing a huge baggy fluffy top with a fluffy blanket.  This is because we are currently renovating our property and our central heating is broken. It was a very cold day! I may look strangely dressed, but I was really nice and warm. Below is the usual time-lapse of my journey and also the results from the work.  I certainly think that the addition of the clock was a good idea. It really helps to visualise the passage of time.     Flying Box and Lights – Tutorial Time-lapse     Flying Box with Lights Here is the result of my 3.5 hours work. The video is best viewed with the sound turned on. I particularly liked the fluid motion of the box and lights.  The resulting network and nodes are also highly customisable.   […]

Coloured Waves

Further Investigation into Generative Art – My Touch Designer Journey continues.  I am continuing to log the time that I spend on this via time-lapse.  I decided that by adding in a clock the passage of time became more noticeable.  Below is the time-lapse video and below that, is the resulting video from tutorial.  All of these generative art videos work from node networks which I save.  These networks can then be tweaked and changed to my liking at a later time.  Currently I am just getting together some solid foundational programs.  I feel less bothered about following the tutorials now because I know that I can tweak my tutorial programs to such a degree that the resulting work is completely mine.  Unfortunately I need to keep going through this process if I am to learn to build networks of my own.  Since reading my book about the Ai Superpowers, China, US and the New World Order, I learned that this is not an unusual process in the programming world.  People create, share and borrow bit of code from each other and this accelerates the learning process. It is quite a risky strategy that I’m pursuing here, because if I […]

Liquid Glass

A Touch Designer Tutorial – I know that time is against me if I want to become proficient at ‘Touch Designer’. Therefore, whenever I have an opportunity to experiment with a new tutorial I take it.  I also like to give a time-lapsed visual record of the time that I spend on projects like this.  I am particularly interested in time and I’m hoping that these time-lapse videos will make an interesting addition to my project work.   A 35 Second Time-lapse of a 1.5 Hour Tutorial       The Result of the Tutorial Now that the network design has been finalised, I am able to tweak numerous parameters in order to arrive at a result that I’m happy with.  Below is the final result once I made all of my adjustments.         Variation of a Theme Once I have created a base video, I always like to experiment further.  Below is a variation on the video above.  However, I do prefer the original above.  The liquid glass effect is much more vibrant and there are less distracting elements.  I still think that the experiment below was worth a try even though I don’t think it […]

Network Patterns

Surprising Results  – I was quite pleased with the results of my Blender computer generated Chladni Patterns.  However, just as the title to this blog suggests the end results may not necessarily have been the most interesting part. In order to generate the patterns in Blender I needed to create a network.  I found this tentacle-like network (almost like neurones) quite fascinating. I cover the network diagram in my post ‘Blender – Who Knew?’  Following on from this I decided to ‘stylise’ the network and from there I created some patterns.   A Stylised Network     Patterns Created From The Stylised Network A Collage of These Ideas Below is a collage of these images together with the original stylised image at the top.  This is purely an experiment and I will save these designs for later as they may prove useful in future projects.
