I really liked all of the shoes that this designer makes. they kind of break the boundries as to what a shoe is. Although he's not the only person who actually does this. he did a lot of work with lady gaga, as her current form of shoes are his wild, High heeled without heels shoes.

these are the kind of shoes that I draw a lot on my models, simply because of how they look.

I'm probably gunna edit this later, im tired and im just babbling on with stuff now.

Leanie Van Der Vyver

This artist is mainly an industrial designer, but she made these shoes that were really interesting simply because of how impractical they are. the shoes themselves force the wearer to lean forward and walk like they are constipated.

Leanie Van Der Vyver did this project for her final project at her uni, her thesis revolved around the ideal that shoes had come to their limit, and we had made it so that we had the powers of god, because we change things to the extreme. So in her work she worked backwards, making her shoes unrealistic and horrid.

 

Yorkshire Sculpture Park

So today we went on a trip to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, although a lot of the work didnt relate to mine entirely, it was still great to see all this artowrk at the park. A favourite thing of mine there is this bench you sit on, and everytime you tap it, it plays a tune, its kinda incredible!

I really liked this big sculpture, although it wasnt actually in YSP, it was in wakefield. I love how its all just been thrown together and made out of trash, reminds me of the robots i made for my last project if im honest.

I really liked all this work by Ursula Von Rydingsvard, she had so many of these huge installations, i really liked the way you could look through them, reminds me of some really intricate cave system, or maybe a worm hole.

I spent most of the day with meg and chloe, actually love this girl, its not part of the project but im throwing the picture in cause she'll hate me for it, plus its important to show the fun you have on trips.

This piece was so fun, it was just this tiny figure, no bigger than a 1p coin stood in the middle of this big desert lookg canvas. Its was so mundane but looked like it had so much depth too it. I dont wanna make it sound like some really confusing artistic thing, cause too look at it was just interesting, it look like a game concept from a certain perspective.

"Im not a model really"

Online book

I had a talk with jon earlier and i came to the conclusion that i want to take my work into the context of online editorial magazines. So we had this idea of maybe printing out my own little magazine thats just full of my own designs for the final piece, which really intrests me. Only thing is, i wanna get an animation in my exhibition with it, cause ive loved doing those. I might do a design magazine full of designs for each person in my animation then have the actual animations on my tablet as the centerpiece of my exhibition, but thats all im gunna think about on it for the moment, or i'll get side  tracked and do shit.

Animation without sound because yeah

Heres another animation i did, i was going to give it sound but i didnt in the end for 2 reasons,
1. i couldnt find the right sound effects and when i did the computer was just like "NOPE"
2. i recorded some stuff of my voice but i sound like a whiney fart coming out of an old mans arse so im not recording anything yet.

i might come back to it, but its just an experiment at the min, so yeah.

When i was sorting the images out i had to make 5 sets of gifs which was a ballache, and my internet kept crashing my computer which would wipe everything i'd done, (Alcohol had to be consumed to make me less angry).

Animation 3 - Rise and fall of models

So jon showed me the work of terry gilliam, and at first i was abit skeptical about trying out his style, but now ive tried it, i can't see myself doing anything else for a while! The animation took about 3 and a half hours to make, and is about 107 frames long, i ended up screwing up a lot of the frames by leaving knives and other things in the shot, so i had to redo a lot of it.
When i was uploading it i had to change the framerate to a 70ms gap inbetween shots so it wouldnt look as jumpy.

All in all i think the animation worked out really well, i'll definatly be doing this for a while, i wanna push the boundries with it, just go all out.

Another little Animation tester

Im really getting into this animation thing now, its just a ballache to do if you dont have the properstuff to do it on, im doing it on photoshop still, re editing an image over and over. i really like how choppy these are, it makes it known to people that it is a collage whilst looking like a video.

With this animation i wanted to push it out abit further boundy wise, which i why i used poo and a well known and loved super model. I'm about to show my friend mattand im sure he'll freak (sorry Matt).
The piggy cara isnt a gif, just a little collage i did before the gif, i still think its funny though.
