This artist is called David Maisel. He does some pretty cool areal prints, some sweet black and white negative photos. I havn't actually worked out how or what exactly his other works are but nice to look at.

Update

Yeah so its been a while since my last update with project drawing....I have taken a similar path from my studio work. Ideas of Dunedin land marks such as the cranes in Port Chalmers, maybe this particular structure isn't considered to be an attraction but i feel the need to glamorise such amazing sculptures or even a whole environment. Other areas I intend to do more documenting of include; the quarry at Logan Park (and at Black head), Mega Mitre 10, The TV tower on Mt Cargill, and more if I can think up any. This is a staring block any way, I intend on honing in on particular aspect of interest after further investigation. At the moment I am quite enjoying the practical side of making visuals and pulling concepts out of the images to continue. Clive Humphrey's recommended that to me in an old textiles project which comes in use sometimes

lyrical abstraction







Wassily Kandinsky Composition VIII

len Lye also does some cool motion imagery, this is a screen shot of my work on the left with Leny Lye's on the right.
He work a lot with kinetic sculpture and analogue film. One work of his I find really interesting is 'Particles in Space' where he scratches the film which runs through the projector.

and some more

Here was another 3D series of drawing (very abstract) which I recorded in motion. Still playing around with ultra nerd software

The drawing begins







This was my first time playing on 3D max for a couple of years, i knew a few tools but that was it, I was hoping my naivity would produce something radical.....yeah haha.
Anyway these images were the first few that came out, kinda interesting in a wierd sort of way, simple shapes with images of Port Otago wrapped on them.

Project drawing begins

I have slowly been gaining momentum into this project. Getting a stating point was difficult but I have begun with an artist who I think is shit hot-Kurt Adams. I was drawn to his work by his still images which appeared like charcoal drawings. He and William Kentridge's work are similar is monotone and motion, but one has the hand evident in the work and the other via a computer.

Both I feel are two great examples of modern drawing, relevant to the project.
