This was the base image used for Project 1: Color As A Medium . In short, this image was a drawover of a stock image, and was then used to create variaitons of the image through the use of different blending modes. Linked below this description will be the CMYK file and the RGB file. They are different final results, each tailored to their material. For the RGB file, it's best viewed on an OLED display at maximum brightness for the best contrast.
This was the result for Project 2: Cutting Line . Laser cutting is not a forte of mine by any means, but this was actually quite enjoyable (when the laser printer decided to work with me and not against me). The inspiration for this project was when a friend of mine was drifting his car and a tire popped mid-drift but continued to drift on 3 tires and 1 wheel. Either he was brave or just stupid but he simply said "A wheel without tires is just a tire made of wheel." I don't know what he was on but okay.
I wanted to create a set of conditions that resulted in a circular cutout, so all my instructions will be here if you want to try it out for yourself: Instructions
The connection between the two figures was supposed to be done with a wooden rod and and some rivets so that the contraption could spin easily but I'm not a carpenter so I decided to go with tape and these random things that connect like legoes. It gives it this "it's broken but I tried to fix it and it's still broken" aesthetic and I love it so I'll pretend it was intentional. And one final thought, this project wasn't as enjoyable as project 1 mainly because I really didn't like using Illustrator. It didn't work with me and I was getting annoyed at it. And vector art is hard too, I'm a way bigger fan of raster art.
