So I've had this idea for awhile but finally found some time to play around with it. I wanted to edit a couple pictures I took of some friends' cars to look like magazine covers. Dunno where the idea came from but thought it might be cool. After about an hour of playing around and looking at a couple car magazines this is what I came up with...

Sprint Blue: photosession
Finally met up with Tommy today for the third installment of his car. This was long awaited for the both of us but was
so worth the wait. Being that we're both artists we had tons of ideas floating around for this latest shoot. We knew we wanted a movie-esque type of shoot with a very dramatic look. Today was the perfect day to achieve this because of the dark and cloudy skies. So now choosing location. We stumbled across an old building up in Winterthur that looked as if it could be an old insane asylum. It was the perfect backdrop that gives the photos a very gloomy look. After some quick edits, here's what I came up with...

Non-automotive photos
I've been trying my best to get my compostion down on things other than cars. I've can get all the right angles and know exactly how to shoot a car with out even thinking about it. But when it comes to nature, still life, people, etc. I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm practicing before my trip to Miami next month because all I'm going to do that whole 3 days is walk around and shoot pictures of everything and anything and I wanna make it worth it because Miami trips don't come around often and this'll be the last one for awhile probably.
I took this picture of an old tractor at Winterthur today. We found it by accident and then later found out we weren't even supposed to be there because the whole place was closed on Mondays. I think the picture came out pretty decent.

Panic!
....just a little piece I did today titled "panic dreams". Came up with the idea late last night, well actually early this morning, but didn't have the ambition to get out of bed and work on it. It's 12" by 36", acrylic on gallery canvas. It started out as an old piece that I wasn't too happy with so I figured the splattered paint and spray paint would play into the theme perfectly. I started by painting the rectangle and then stenciled the word panic. I then just squeezed paint right out of the bottle to get the thin lines. While it was
drying I found a scrap of black suede so I glued it in
the rectangle. It's not quite done yet. I still want to continue the black lines over top of the suede.
I chose panic because it's an emotion that I know all to well and I'm sure many people do. Dreams came to mind because everyone occasionally has
those crazy ones that end with you waking up, sweating, and breathing heavily. I really like this piece because I feel like it shows panic with the contrast between the black and white and the splattered paint in the background along with the lines of black acrylic representing a chaotic mess. I'll update this with a new pic after I finish it.
