Modified Switching Yard

guruscotty — Tue, 28 May 2013 21:04:30 +0000

This fine art print is 26×36 — Modified Switching Yard. Hardly recognizable from the original, which shows the Chicago & Northwestern Proviso Yard in Chicago from the Library of congress). There’s a lot going on here!

Here’s a detail shot of a 2 in x 2 in portion of the image — (as usual) I’m digging how much is going on the details. Click to see it enlarged:

Modified Chinatown Crosshatch

Oooo — so very happy with this. This fine art print is based on a photo from the Carol M. Highsmith collection at the Library of Congress. Stretched, sliced, diced, spindled and otherwise warped into something very different from the source.

Here is a detailed of one little portion of the main image — this should give you some idea of how much detail there is in the main image.

Amazing lady — she has donated (and still donating) many thousands of photos to the American people through thew library of Congress.

Modified Mega Skyline

Hmmm — it’s late Saturday afternoon and I’ve come up with a plaid city. Yet I can’t bring myself to call this “Plaid City,” and I’m not sure why. Several major skylines overlaid with one another — then blended and stretched and all that other stuff I do to them.

Here’s a 4×4 detail shot — just because I’m digging how much is going on the details:

squidgy five o’clock somewhere

guruscotty — Mon, 13 May 2013 13:09:56 +0000

Yes, I have been absent from the site for a while. Work and that darned day job get in the way, sometime. Took a few minutes for my own mental health this weekend and whipped this up from my own personal photos.

This started off as a photo of the reflections in a wine glass (nearly empty, naturally):

It really is after five o’clock somewhere!

As with everything else, it’s offered at these sizes, but can be reproduced at just about any size, on any medium.

Support Hip Pocket Theater!

I’ve donated two sets of fine art prints to the Hip Pocket Theater Silent Auction. I hope you can come out tonight and support them!

I donated prints of Drinky Winky 1, 2, and 3, and also Moto Kanji #15, 16, and 17. See below:

Moto Kanji #14

guruscotty — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 20:58:11 +0000

Moto Kanji #14 is definitely a departure from the original intent, but it’s based on the same idea, so I’ll file under Moto Kanji, rather than some new appellation. And I should probably just make my life easier and broaden the definition.

Actually, by calling it so, I guess I have already broadened the definition.

If you’re curious — which I hope you are — this is k-rail on Loop 820 in Northwest Fort Worth, where a car rubbed against the k-rail. I photographed this one this weekend while the house was pretty quiet, and I thought I could get out and get weird without causing too much stress.

Very nearly my favorite Moto Kanji thus far, though I try not to have favorites.

Moto Kanji #13

guruscotty — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 13:11:01 +0000

Ah, back to the heart of Moto Kanji — tire tracks as brush strokes. It’s been amazing discovering how the idea plays out in the real world. We’re I using brush marks to make tire tracks, I’d have infinite control over how and where the brush strokes appear.

But in the real world, I have to drive around, looking for out of the way spots where car enthusiasts have drifted, done burnouts, and/or done donuts. Usually hidden from prying eyes, a lot of the time in industrial areas, back parking lots and seldom-used roads.

Squidgy Cowboy Bill

An unchosen illustration for a client, this is a squidgy version of an image from the Library of Congress. Based on part of the poster for the Bull-Doggers.

Moto Kanji #12

guruscotty — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:03:18 +0000

Not at all what was expecting from Moto Kanji, but we can file this one under happy accidents.

This was photographed somewhere in Northwest Fort Worth, along with a metric crap-ton of other shots in and around Fall 2012. The colors and contrast were heavily massaged and adjusted in photoshop, but otherwise there are no other adjustments.
