Next Project

For this next project I want to make a comic and creating the images using a wacom tablet. Here are some current webcomics that I like to read that are relevant to the project:

Blastwave is a comedy about a few soldiers trying to survive in a futuristic bombed out city.

Paper Eleven is an abstract horror comic done by an artist named Dan Kim.

Hey Troy, can you write a blog entry with the syllabus of this next project?

Here are some examples of pictures I want to use for the sides of my planet cubes.

The larger outer-ring planets don't have pictures of their surfaces, and I don't want a picture of the whole planet.

Another idea I was thinking of making cubes of all the same size, and put pictures of animals and plants on them and then put them in a boggle cube, and it could be like "create your own ecosystem" much like that Spore game Troy is always obsessing over. The boggle cube could be earth and you can chose what animals you want on it. I'll be sure to include dinosaurs too.

Infinite Inspiration 3

One more idea I would like to incorporate is perhaps make a re-printable stencil that anyone can use to create their own graffiti. Banksy is one example. The "Buried Treasure" one might be an avenue I would like to pursue

Infinite Inspiration 2

The object doesn't necessarily have to be hidden too. The artwork of Julian Beever also inspired me to possibly create an illusion that people would want to reproduce. Here is some of his work.

Infinite Inspiration

Most of the inspiration for this project came from one of the sharpest humanitarian ad campaigns I have ever seen.

After seeing this I felt so inspired by it that I wanted to recreate that emotion. I'm not sure if I will use the same theme of landmines, but something sticking to people's feet unexpectedly is one idea I might want to pursue. Once completed, if it is interesting enough, I plan to unleash them onto the UD campus, spreading awareness.

The Infinite Print

My idea of something that is infinitely reproducible is an icon. A Che shirt is a perfect example of being infinitely reproducible.

The Icon has the ability to slap a meaning on a viewer by just glancing at it. I want to re-create this feeling and apply it to an area where people would not expect: the ground.

My goal for this project is to create an object that interacts with the ground, that will instantly zap viewers with meaning as soon as they see it, and can be easily reproducible by anyone.

I also want to attach a message that would make everyone want to reproduce it themselves, perhaps even starting a world wide printing phenomenon.

Inspiration

This is some cover artwork from a Japanese rock band. This is the style I'm going for with the T-shirts. I want to reduce human forms into outlines and use illustrator to add graphic shapes and objects.
