Another world. Again.

It's quite busy here in the studio! I'm getting ready for the Merrickville Artists' Guild Studio Tour and re-vamping my website for a wonderfully visual experience. Stay tuned for more on both of these events.

In the meantime, take a few minutes to relax and be whisked away to another world - Altered Images II. Enjoy :)

iPhoneography is such a wonderful way for an artist to explore imagery. Head on over to my Facebook Page to see many more images... I indulge in iPhoneography almost daily! Please remember to LIKE the page too if you want. :)

Something Richer and Stranger.

Welcome to my contribution to Dave's App Recipe Book Project! March Edition. Check out the other contributors listed on Dave's blog and, of course, Dave's images!

I find that iPhoneography is a quick way to satisfy my creative muse when I don't have time to paint. Colour, texture, line, imagery - it's the next best thing... and it gives me ideas for new paintings. Head on over to my Facebook Page to find many more images - LIKE the page too if you want. :)

RECIPE

Start with an original piece of art that you have created. In this case, I used my newest painting, "Something Rich and Strange I". iPhoneography is a great way for an artist to find new inspiration by altering and exploring their own work. Try it!

Something Rich and Strange I.

Shoot sections of your work with your iPhone using ProCamera. I have replaced the original iPhone camera app with this one for everyday use.

Chosen section.

Result from iDarkroom.

Open one of your successful shots in iDarkroom.

Apply these filters:

"Hi Sepia"

"Recycle"

"Sketch"

Vignett 1"

"Sprockets"

Save.

My favourite image from SCRATCHcam.

Re-open image in SCRATCHcam.

Hit "Random" until you find

an image that you like.

Save.

I always save many!

Pick your favourite.

For your enjoyment, a slide show with variations on this image...

How would you describe your artistic style?

As an artist, it is important to take time out to reflect. Lately I have been doing a lot of writing about my art. It takes time away from creating in the Studio, but it gives me insight into my work on many levels.

A lot of this writing will appear on my newly designed website which will be launched this month. Some of it will appear in a book that Seth Apter of the Altered Page is publishing in 2012.

Today, I am delighted to be included in The Pulse, Style File: Chapter 2. Head on over to read a description of my artistic style and see my latest painting "Weaveworld". I'm one of ten artists featured in today's post. Check out yesterday's artists and tomorrow's too... there's so much to explore!
