In a bed of grass

Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:20:32 PDT

In a city near Erfurt Germany in a burned out and abandoned hotel this room sits quiet amongst the bustle of the busy city outside, slowly it is being reclaimed by nature and no one knows of the beauty that sits inside this abandoned building only a few feet from the sidewalk.

The hotel suffered from a fire 3 years ago but it was purchased by a man who used his brothers stolen passport to obtain the loan. The hotel is just sitting in idle decline while the German courts try to decide who ownership of the property belongs to now.

This photo was picked up and published in National Geographics "photos we love" Best of July 2012

And picked as a Daily Deviation on 2012-08-18

Also this photo won first place in the 2012 Jula international photography festival held in Munich Germany

Don't trash your dreams

FACEBOOK FANPAGE | TUMBLR | TWITTER

Don't trash your dreams, they deserve a better lot, another goal,
I know it's hard, long, and sometimes, the result is disappointing,
But, don't trash them, talk about what you expect from the world,
Talk about your hates, your fears, your perplexity, your wishes,...

Please, don't trash your ideas, you hide treasures in your head,
You forget to breathe, you are snuffing out the flame in you,
Don't give up, please, you are a working of the human evolution,
We are young, we need to evolve and you are one of our echos...

Singing about you is singing about us, hustle and open our mind,
Don't trash your dreams, you'll get bored and make war to have fun,
Poeple will be blind, obsessed by power and ready-made thoughts.
Sheeps will govern the world and you will dream of grass and grass.

And I don't want to be a sheep !

Jake pen pot

Mon, 13 Aug 2012 05:59:23 PDT

Another day, another friend, another birthday........another Adventure Time pen pot.

I haven't got a thing about pen pots or anything, they're just useful things to have on your desk, I do have a massive thing about Adventure Time though

Made from a wire, tin foil and mesh armature covered in Sculpey. His arms are just wire, the hands/paws?? and feet are made from Milliput as it's a bugger getting Sculpey to stick to bare wire. Mounted on a plywood disk, primered then painted with acrylics.

I have no idea how long this one took, I've just been doing bits here and there and not kept track.

Up and Down

Thu, 16 Feb 2006 00:47:14 PST

Available as a print, please buy it !

Hi all.

This is my latest work. It is a actual 3D object, a bit post-pro for better colours etc, but it is just one render, not two renders combined or so. It is modelled and rendered with Blender 2.41 and post-processed with Photoshop. It is based on the litho Up and Down by M.C. Escher. C&C is highly appreciated.

penny sculpture

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:18:16 PST

this is indeed a scupture made out of pennies. there is a styrofoam skeliton and sculpy for the facial features. i used super glue to glue each individual penny on. i used a brick layer method for the shape. i have no idea how long this took to make or how many pennies are actually in this thing, but i'm guessing that it is worth about $40 and weighs about 65 lbs. enjoy~

Raccoon MINIATURE SCULPTURE

Sun, 28 Oct 2007 10:43:21 PDT

Just another miniature furry critter...
I sculpted this baby raccoon with artist grade polymer clay and then used several recycled furs to bring him to life. I'm not quite finished with this piece, because he still needs another place to hang out....although my daughter told me she'd be glad to let him stay on her finger as long as he wants. He looks pretty cute laying on his back too, but I'm creating a shadowbox with a branch for the little guy to hang from.

dream

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 03:18:55 PST

this pic is also known as "Livestream Crashes Alot"
:< sorry to everyone on saturday...

i had originally intended this for the wacom "Dreams" contest, but then i realised it didn't fit the description (no aspirations here, unless it's to create little squirrels from the air).

Then i wanted to submit it to the ImagineFX cover contest, but then i realised i missed the deadline. =__=;;

oh well...

edit : this is actually a repaint of a very very very old pic

Animator vs. Brauer :BIG FILE:

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 12:19:13 PST

I DO NOT OWN THE IDEA OF ANIMATOR VS ANIMATION. AT ALL. IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM.

I created a (poorly made) spinnoff for a Physics project. In the credits I explain the ACTUAL Animator vs Animation is on DA, and it's not mine.

I DO NOT OWN ANIMATOR VS ANIMATION.

VIEW THE REAL ONE HERE:[link]

I have contacted the original artist and have told him that if there are any problems at all he has with this, I WILL TAKE IT DOWN IMMEDIATELY. No questions asked.

Once again, I DO NOT OWN, NOR EVER WILL OWN, ANIMATOR VS ANIMATION.

Brauer, or Mr. Brauer, is the name of my Physics teacher, and I hope he doesn't mind being the victim in this, lol.

And I'm sorry this is so big D: I'm trying to work on the dimensions

Gift of Ages

Sat, 23 Dec 2006 18:56:32 PST

Gift of Ages is an animation I made in about a week and a half for my church's Christmas program.

Ah, there's so much to say about this one, but I somehow feel that explaining it will make it weaker. I should hope that the piece is strong enough to stand on its own without my having to prop it up with words.

And so for some of you I might have ruined Christmas. But to everyone else, I hope you've enjoyed this presentation and that it brings new meaning to the secular symbols we see annually.

Programs used: Flash 8, openCanvas, 3D Studio Max, and Sound Forge. All 3D work was done by my brother Brian (thanks!), and the music is Chopin's Etude in E major Op.10 No.3.

EDIT: I've read all your responses but haven't replied to them all since...there are a lot. Anyhow, in general, I appreciate how much some of you are moved by it, and I'm also impressed with how open-minded the rest of you are in receiving it. Thanks, guys. Merry Christmas.

Kurenaino Kyojin

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 20:11:10 PST

Title: 紅の巨人 - Crimson Giant
Subtitle: "Kappa no senaka ni tobidasuno kinoko motteiru kyojin" - "The Mushroom Wielding Giant who Jumps on the Kappa's Back"

A.K.A: Yamato Mario.

I made this mostly because I was getting upset with my inability to make aesthetic strokes on my tablet. The temporary solution, therefore, was to draw something grotesque where if the lines were slightly off it would work well with the picture.

The inspiration behind this was probably Osamu Tezuka's Saruta (You gotta love that nose). Plus, I wanted to picture what kind of character Mario would have been if his modern incarnation had roots in Japan of old (though strangely not Italy). Yet he looks more like a djinn than anything else, doesn't he?

Hooray for brown nipples!

Misty Forest

Sat, 29 Jul 2006 08:03:56 PDT

This was taken while I was on vacation. Woke up early, noticed there was a vast amount of fog & mist outside so I decided to check out the forest and this is what there was. Truly an amazing thing to witness in person.

Sock: Episode 2

I started this and then stopped because I hated it.

Just a bit of an experiment here with different ideas and stuff based on dreams. This was just going to be a 20 second flash but somehow it grew. I made all the dialogue up as I went along without even practicing (you can tell) so I tended to ramble on a bit.....then I just animated to the stuff that I said.

All the music is by me.

There's no deep meaning in the name. I just made a weird sound then tried to spell it.

*update* Sorry I have resubmitted the file as I forgot to put a preloader on there.
