Tilt-Shift Van Gogh

Evan — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 23:13:03 +0000

Tilt-Shift photography is a way to make people and location photos look like miniature models. The folks over at Artcyclopedia decided to apply that effect to 16 of Van Gogh’s paintings. Nothing in these paintings were changed, added or removed. By adjusting the focus using blurred vignettes we see Van Gogh’s work in a refreshingly new way. You can see all 16 pieces here.

Mr. Frotheringham

The first time I saw a Mr. Frotheringham illustration was on the cover of Mudhoney’s “Piece Of Cake” CD in 1992. I imagined Ed having a half broken, leaky pen that gave him his beautiful thick/thin line quality. His work inspired me to experiment with pen and ink more as well as color blocking. Fast forward to today and Ed is still working in Seattle for big clients like the New Yorker, Washington Post, Men’s Journal, Scholastic and many others. If it says “Mr. Frotheringham”, you know it’s quality!

Next time your in Vancouver go visit the Convention Centre and view the new Digital Orca sculpture. the artist is none other than Douglas Coupland, author of Generation X, Microserfs and many more. I really like the pixelated Orca next to the “High Def” natural surroundings. Photo by Susan Gittins.
