canadianbeaver Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I have been working very hard on a new form of artwork over the last couple of weeks. I has been pretty successful and a gallery in Toronto has given me some good feedback. This is very much the begining stages, but I think you guys are really going to dig this! Check it out. These images are created in Adobe Illustrator 6. They use my skills as a graphic designer and a couple of years of colour theory I took in Art School. The mentor for this is a guy named Itten. Hope you like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vink Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Wow so cool!!! Johannes Itten of Bauhaus school I presume? I'm in architecture and graphic design have always interested me and I love Illustrator, it's my favorite program! Keep the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Yes sir and thanks! I am trying so hard NOT to say "Smitten by Itten" or I want to be "Itten's Kitten". After 8 hours of colour picking, you get a bit nutty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangedog Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I can't seem to tease out the 3D images buried in these... usually I could get them no problem, these are more difficult. I will have to work on my connoisseurship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckSARTech Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Reminds me a bit of those 3D artwork books / brain teasers from years back. Where you held the image super close to your face, basically went cross-eyed, and then moved the book/image away from you and began to see a 3D image hidden within the confusion of the main image. Kinda funky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbeaver Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 I know we have some Scotties here so I thought I would put this one up. Just finished this one after a grueling 2 days. The creating of the tartans practically had me hallucinating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangedog Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 If you don't mind the unsolicited opinion, I'd say they are getting better each iteration... that last red and gold-ish one is my favorite so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Thank you! I figured that is what would happen. That is why I am continuing to post. It is to show my progression as I improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbeaver Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Thanks so much guys! To give you an idea about the process and how nutty this can be for me, here is one I am working on so far... It will be about martinis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigFish Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Reminds me of some MC Escher stuff, which I have always liked. Maybe you should make some cigar band linking art for the group. You have got a built in market!!! Really nice Lisa, thanks for sharing. -Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Actually the first true tessellation I ever created was for the Toronto Herf last year, I gave out post cards with this on it and there were 2 framed prints in the silent auction. By the way, if anyone wants to download these low Rez images for your laptop or cel phone backgrounds, feel free... Unfortunately they are not really printable Note the lighters between the cigar bands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
