TOPIC: Dimensional Emblems....

hehe, yea well what I tell people is simple, I can make -a- graphic that when your looking at it on my screen I have to mouse around the graphic to work on it because it will not fit on my screen, but that how you work in detail...

and to get detail you need to start large, then if when the time comes the programs can re-size the large format to a manageable size for what ever and who ever is working them for they can manage them...

my rule of thumb is I can make a great in detail picture that is huge that is re-sized smaller and it will retain the detail, but I cannot print a small image that is re-sized larger than what it was and expect it to have any detail.

hehe all alphabet stuff is only really noticeable when working in "layers" on an image before compressing it into single "image"...now I going to confuses people

ok, lost Ron it seems....

Ron to put it the simplest...bigger is better because Size does Matter....

(ok...great...and that why they handcuffed me to this bench)

Now, see... I take personal offense to that comment

The vast majority of my artwork is Miniature... My graphite drawings are usually 2" x 3" or less- Yet they retain all the detail of a larger work. These are all more or less actual size-



-or-



-or-



They are small, but VERY detailed. I just use a really sharp pencil! In fact, at the majority of exhibitions, the gallery/venue provides the visitors with a MAGNIFYING GLASS to closely examine the works... Talk about nerve wracking... MOST artists don't have to worry about that kind of scrutiny!

I'm a member of the Miniature Art Society of Florida, The MPSGS, Association of Miniature Artists in the US, as well as The Royal Miniature Society as well as the Hilliard Society in the U.K... I display all over the world, too- I might just have a show near you!

If anyone is interested, I've got more work on my site- http://www.lessthansix.com , although it hasn't been updated in a little while...

andrew thank you so much,ill be sending some money real soon,and great drawings,thanks from this wanna be artist,john

John- Don't send any money. I'll send it back to you.

okok, i should have clarified doing graphics on the computer...

where with pencil in hand you use a Magnifying Glass (which would drive me right over the edge...) on the computer I will start a graphic with a huge base image that I would then zone using graph "sections" I then "work" those sections, now I am able to zoom "away" from this to see what it looks like as a whole "at scale" which would be like...standing back without the magnifying glass.

Great work btw, in no way am I an "artist" like you, just bored with come and go interest, but toying with graphics seems to always kept my interest...

Yeah, I know... I was just messing with you...

What graphics program(s) do you use?? I do most logos/illustrations in Illustrator. That way, since they are all vector graphics, I can do them all in a size that fits on my screen nicely....

So, When a 'customer' asks for this-


And I spend all day drawing it- Then they say "Oh, I needed to make a Tee-Shirt out of that... I COULD resize a raster image (what the JPEGs are) to this-



Which they PROBABLY won't be happy about... But if I drew it as a vector image, I can push a few buttons and give them this-



And they will be a bit more happy!

In theory, I could blow that up to the size of a billboard if I wanted to. Vector graphics make life a lot easier.

Speaking of mind blowing graphics, came across this from a facebook friend:

If you are wondering what the hell you are looking at then check out this blog post....

full length version (13m44s) can be seen on vimeo here...

What can I say? how about the bare facts. I will let you make up your mind about the animation itself and hope you leave a comment.

so here are the facts...

Two days to set up, and then several months to render, resulted in around forty 1.9GB uncompressed .AVI files. I added watermarking, fx and time remapping, before multi-pass encoding the 80GB video in h264 (32,768 kbit/sec) and the audio in AAC.

The final result is a very high quality
13m44s 1.77 GB (1,903,726,592 bytes) .MP4
can be downloaded instantly from my blog here
www.hd-fractals.com/downloads/

then I compressed again to a very watchable 1GB (10,000 kbit/sec) for vimeo.

then I remapped the video from this and remixed another audio track to create A 10 minute version for youtube.

actually the audio really is something special on this. special thanks to record label http://90watts for this one!

A decent stereo/ headphones are seriously recommended
for this deep tech house sound.

a two track mix by yours truly -- teamfresh.

track one is tonu su tonu
by ivan masa (pablo rez remix)
Quote
"Pablo Rez surprised us with this strong tech house remix. A track you almost can drop any where, any time"

track two is soul survivor
by solar brothers ft sherry dyanne (moog mix)
Quote
"This version will fit you well, if you're into the current tech-house sound that is. Expect thick and thumpy synths and basslines. Appropriate for later progress in the evening as well as taking it down a notch, whilst sustaining the energy level. You also want to play this, to make people start bouncing if they're reluctant somehow"

The final magnification of the Mandelbrot fractal is 6.066e+228 (2^760)

want some perspective?

1E6 Vancouver Island
1E9 Jupiter's radius
1E12 Earth's orbit
1E18 distance to Alpha Centauri
1E21 Milky Way galaxy
1E30 large doesn't cover it!
1E42 size of a proton to the universe.

1E228 incomprehensibly big...but we did it!

For the record, 1 to 6e228 is like expanding a proton to 7000000000000000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000 times the size of the visible universe. (i.e. mindrape)

(Proton has 1 femtometer diameter, universe has 93 billion light year diameter)

If you were actually traveling into the fractal, you would be moving faster than the speed of light.

andrew ,thank you so much for the logo,i ordered a bunch of free stuff from vista print with the logo on it.
even free shipping ,i get free offers from them all the time.the only charg es were a one time logo upload fee of $3.74,and a tee -shirt for $4.74 for a total cost of $8.48,a pretty good deal,so dave have you looked into them yet?
i ordered a small 3 foot banner,250 bussiness cards,250 loyalty cards,100 post cards,and a t-shirt,and i probaly could have gotthe t-shirt for free also,but i didnt go for it,because i thought the price was good,lol.plus i got free shipping.
i have nothing in this printing bussiness but i thought i would tell you so other folks can get t-shirts and stuff with pics of their boats or boat bussiness cheap or free.
andrew ,hows your wife coming along with her embroidery machine?
i would like to be her 1st customer,and have a couple of shirts done,thanks again ,john

Yeah John, I checked them out and ordered some 75% off business cards...then got the free cards and other offers...ended up costing me about $15 for 250 Full color cards. Not a great deal, but OK. I'll use then again though.

I asked them about printing trading card sized cards for Mark's project and they are going to get back to me on that.

if you have used them already they should soon start sending emails for alot of free stuff,john

i've ordered business cards,stationary, and invoices from them since 1981.

ME TOO...WHY?

somewhere along the line...somehow, i think there may be a insert picture that made the "page" wider..not sure.

sure is a PIA when you have to scroll horizontally to read. ron
