red drips


Unlucky accident that happend to a friend yesterday night on the way home from a festival not too far away from our place. Fortunately it all looks worse than it is.
I like the composition in combination with the ratio of dark and light. The unsharpness of the image also adds some mystic flavor, although it quite annoyed me at first place.
The broken part at the lower right, that looks a bit like masking tape debris, comes from a deliberate mistake in the self development period. I turned the photo around and put it on a slightly crumbled newspaper where at some places the light came though from the bottom.

General Electric Magazine (work in progress)

In combination with a commercial I am supposed to make a magazine layout of 8 pages. 
The pictures below are showing my first design. As GE´s company image is quite neat and clean, my line are more or less wobbly and sketchy, it is quite a mission to combine my style into their taste. The icons on the front and back cover are all drawn by hand but as they are so small you can barely see that and associate more it with a computer icon.  
The next step is to find a way to transfer the clean "sketch" of the layout into my own handwriting and minimizing the logos in size and quantity to still show the whole business of GE and the fact that it is drawn by hand.

General Electric Wind Energy Commercial

Finally, after more than 200 hours of thinking, sketching, drawing, planning and animating I finished my fictional assignment of a GE commercial.
Edited frame by frame via stop motion technique.
More skills in After Effects would have saved me a lot of work.

"Ich Will Doch Nur Spieln!" - Exhibition April 22, 2013

In addition to the assignment "What I want / don´t want" I should make a documentary about the things I did the last 3 months. As I unfortunately did not make enough photos or videos that show my work process the way I want it to appear in a short film I decided to set up an exhibition. I was lucky that I could get such a well-fitting room in the new school building.
The exhibition was all about playing as well literally as figuratively and although it was only for illustration class I hung up everything I played with such as the tools I used, stuff I did for other subjects and my autonomous work. The resonances were suprisingly good, oh I tell you I was really touched. And at one moment the visitors themselves started to play with the things I installed which was my secret intension.
































































In addition to my 2D and 3D work I showed a video I made to support the message of playing.
It is a compilation of 1960s and 70s toy advertisements. That old because it has already been played with the toys and - to be honest - I just fancy the aesthetics of old video material in combination with those very ridiculousely set up television spots.
