Vector Art: Best things in life are Free 

http://vector-art.blogspot.com

I just recently found this site, but it looks to be super helpful with my new Digital imaging class.

It has tips and cheats for all the programs, as well as new info on the digital world.

"Free Vector offers a huge collection of graphic resources for graphic designers, illustrators and web developers."  And so it does.  I definitely recommend this site to everyone.

Levitating Girl

  
"Natsumi Hayashi is a sweet-looking Japanese girl who, one day, decided to take self-portraits..of herself levitating. She can be spotted in and around Tokyo, equipped with her SLR and her self-timer. When she feels the moment strike, she presses the shutter button down and then, quite literally, "jumps" into place."

A quick example of the brilliance that is hidden in this site...

I actually got shivers.

I love dance, I love graphics, I love this video?  : )

Creative Drinking Glasses

A device consists of a bulb shaped container with the glass below. When the amount in the glass decreases, a constant amount is poured from the tank into the glass. Never overflowing from the glass because of air pressure and water pressure. (Designer: kyouei design)

 This glass uses the same head and a different base for 4 main glass-specific types of drink: water, cognac, wine, and champagne. (Designer: Utopik Design)

 Bombay Sapphire is pretty unique with a delicate botanical flavor. Of course the most luxe martini drink demands the same from accompanying glassware. Benjamin Hubert has designed a martini glass to reflect that aesthetic. Hand blown and shaped, this martini glass evokes the organic and botanical sensibility of Bombay Sapphire. (Designer: Benjamin Hubert)

An empty glass resembles a meaningless colorful mosaic, until a liquid is poured into it, revealing its name. Each side of the glass is reserved for a specific drink. (Designer: Damjan Stankovic)

So BOLD.  Propaganda style advertising.  Incorporating Modernity.

Digital Imaging ART 141 -- Scripps College

For the Fall 2011 Semester I enrolled in a class called Digital Imaging at Scripps College.

As the title implies, I will be using photoshop in order to create digital images, and alter images.

I will begin a series of blogposts for this class (A requirement for this class), which I will post on this blog.  The tag will be Digital Imaging Class.  I will upload various interesting artworks that are shared in class, or are related to the class.  Similarly I will be uploading images that I have altered myself as assignments or projects from this class.  So far I've found numerous amazing new artists thanks to my fellow classmates.

ie:  I'm super pumped for this class.  What's up.

Audition Monologue

                  EVE: We are getting along very well now, Adam and I, and getting better and better acquainted. He does not try to avoid me any more, which is a good sign, and shows that he likes to have me with him. That pleases me, and I study to be useful to him in every way I can, so as to increase his regard. During the last day or two I have taken all the work of naming things off his hands, and this has been a great relief to him, for he has no gift in that line, and is evidently very grateful. He can't think of a rational name to save him, but I do not let him see that I am aware of his defect. Whenever a new creature comes along I name it before he has time to expose himself by an awkward silence. In this way I have saved him many embarrassments. I have no defect like this. The minute I set eyes on an animal I know what it is. I don't have to reflect a moment; the right name comes out instantly, just as if it were an inspiration, as no doubt it is, for I am sure it wasn't in me half a minute before. I seem to know just by the shape of the creature and the way it acts what animal it is. When the dodo came along he thought it was a wildcat--I saw it in his eye. But I saved him. And I was careful not to do it in a way that could hurt his pride. I just spoke up in a quite natural way of pleasing surprise, and not as if I was dreaming of conveying information, and said, "Well, I do declare, if there isn't the dodo!" I explained--without seeming to be explaining--how I know it for a dodo, and although I thought maybe he was a little piqued that I knew the creature when he didn't, it was quite evident that he admired me. That was very agreeable, and I thought of it more than once with gratification before I slept. How little a thing can make us happy when we feel that we have earned it!
