Stanley Kubrick was truly a god.

This image is a very powerful one that I took. I got the idea from a photographer who I can not remember at this moment.

I took the light and dark element from Stanley Kubrick. The same man who directed such films as 2001, Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket. Before he was a film maker, he was a photographer. His work had a consistency of light and dark black and white pictures.

taking the picture from behind the persons head shows that they could be looking pretty much anywhere other then just the mirror. I wanted to show that there are two sides to everyone.

Photography

whilst looking at ideas for my project work, i came across a few photographers that caught my eye. One including the famous and visual Stanley Kubrick, he has a great sense of the noir genre and making light and dark contrasted photos.

I love this image due to how the peoples faces are in shadow and cant be seen.

Make Love Not War (Literally)

With the previous project over and done with, I figure it's important to include a few pictures from the project that took so many different ideas and chances to do. On one of my days off, I came into college and had a bag of army men I was going to melt. When the melting began they just flopped and i found it boring, so I came up with the idea to put the army men in different crude positions. Here are a few images of how they turned out.

Project (Dale Chihuly)

For this part of my project, I was helped by my tutor to look at two artists who could help me with my work. in my findings, i came across a man called Dale Chihuly. his work is sensational, and very inspiring for me. He uses glass shapes which he has melded together, then fits them all together to make a sculpture.

this beautiful piece on the left is called the "Crystal Towers" they look amazing with the sun shining down on them. the one on the right, is another beautiful piece. which is put together again the same way, and a light is put underneath. then when the light is switched on, the sculpture will illuminate and a beautiful light will emit from it.

A Bittersweet Life (Movie)

I was told to do work on textiles and crafts artists. But I'm deciding to do this quick post while I have it fresh in my head. If you ever want to watch a film with action, a very well put together storyline and superb acting and very well made film with camera ranging which is amazingly done. Watch Kim Ji Woon's "A Bittersweet Life" you will not be dissapointed. I promise you, it's what Tarantino wish he made.

Held Against My Will

For this post I'm going to include two links to an artists web pages so I can show to you the people that inspire me and my work. The first person who really inspires me and my work is film-maker Quentin Tarentino. The second person is another Film-make called John Woo. Both of these film-makers are inspirational to me, and have made me want to become a professional film-maker and director. The first link is for a fan-made Quentin Tarentino site.

The second link is for another fan-made John Woo site.

Hmm friday also known to me as "funday"

i was asked by my tutor to look up some examples of different types of burning. i was looking at melting, when i came across a very unusual piece of art. it was a group of army men, but in the form of the Alphabet. I also saw a group of army men, but were melted to form a bowl. It was very captivating to look upon it. I would hopefully be using something like that for my final piece when it comes to the end of the project. Also, I bought final fantasy 8 off ebay for like £15 to help me complete the collection. I'm annoyed I payed all that money and it doesnt even work at all. It really sucks. I was hopeing it would have helped me in my fantasy artwork. anyway, thats my post for today, i will post another later in the day. But, until then. take care. peace out.
