Ned, it was someone else's work, originally, I think I just added on a few frames at the end. I can't find the original thread to confirm. But thanks. :)
C'mon, no one will give me some source material? I'm in the mood to drunkenly animate, and I have at least 15 minutes. The time is ripe!

I spent ages trying to figure out the differences between the 3 versions up there, until I realised they all link to the same file. Now I feel a fool.
― James Morrison, Saturday, 15 March 2008 13:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Originally there were 3 different versions (the first had crazy artifacts floating around that I forgot to clean up, the second fixed but was way too fast, and the third is one that's visible now), until I deleted the other 2 out of photobucket.
ok, I'm going to try to do Nickalicious and the W4lter one from way up there that I accidentally skipped. No inebriation, though. For some reason when my girlfriend comes home from work two days in a row and I'm still in my pajamas and surrounded by bottles of empty and beer and the smell of dub reggae, she thinks I'm pathetic.
I really like that idea. I'm on spring break now, so I may work on that. It would be a mega huge file, though. I guess I could always link to it rather than post it here.

Oh, and Dom, I actually tried to animate your picture, but when I loaded it into Photoshop, it wouldn't let me edit it all, nothing. Like it was locked. I couldn't figure out if I was just an idiot or if you were pulling a prank by posting some impossible-to-edit picture. So I moved on.

Z S doesn't PS CS3 suck for shape tweens?
― libcrypt, Monday, 7 April 2008 17:57 (sixteen years ago) link
I dunno, I'm using CS2 version 9. Is CS2 even worse for shape tweens than CS3? Also, I'm not sure what a shape tween is. :)
― Z S, Monday, 7 April 2008 23:47 (sixteen years ago) link
Shape tween is like when you have an object in frame 1 and then in frame 2 you make it 2x the size. If you want the object to gradually get larger you insert a few frames with a "shape tween". It seems that PS has decent motion tweening, but I can't figure out how to do automatic shape tweens without creating each frame by hand. Also, doing this frame-by-frame and toggling layer visibility is the suck.
― libcrypt, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 17:28 (sixteen years ago) link
oooh, I see. Yeah, the way I've been changing the shape of objects is just by copying and pasting them into new layers, and then free transforming them into whatever. It is a bit tedious. Also, I tend to shy away from doing that because every new layer and new frame means that the file size will be larger at the end, and that means when you save it you have to reduce the image quality even more to get it down to a decent size.

Sorry, right after I submitted that I realized that it might seem like I'm calling latebloomer a creepy dentist. I should mention that anyone with glasses and completely white hair, like the gif above, with bright lighting, reminds me of a creepy dentist. And inverting the colors of pretty much any person with glasses and in a dark setting will make me think of a creepy dentist.

― Abbott, Friday, 15 August 2008 04:28 (fifteen years ago) link
Oh shit, sorry Wilter, I just saw this. I am on it.
But now is as good a time as any to say that I've decided to expand on this thread a little bit.
SO PLEASE VISIT MY BRAND NEW WEBLOG AT www.barrylutz.com http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t214/ZachRScott/header4.gif
The idea is that everyday I'll post an animation. Ideally, enough people will eventually visit to where I'll be able to imitate this thread and just animate reader submissions. Until I get any readers, though, I'll just be posting random new and old ones I've done. Also, every few weeks I plan on posting a sort of longer form animation, Evil Guide Dog style. I'm working on one about a speed-fueled truck driver right now.
Anyway, feel free to visit and send a picture to ad✧✧✧@barryl✧✧✧.c✧✧ if you'd like to be animated there (and here, since I'd post it here too if it's an ILXor).

Just tell her "It's an internet thing. You wouldn't understand..."
That's what I always tell my GF when she wonders why I've been in photoshop for hours and there are empty bottles all over the table. It works...sometimes.

Nothing much, really. I was just goofing around on the internet and I saw a psychedelic picture of a giant lady in court with frontbutt all over her sweatpants (here), and she was expanding and inverting colors and looking all crazy. I thought "I should try that!". Mainly I just wanted to figure out how they did it, because it was a weird little optical illusion effect. So I found my own giant lady picture and tried to make an imitation. But mine ended up just being gross.

Oh yeah, I figured, but your comment made me remember that my gf's brother and his wife occasionally take a look at barrylutz.com and I thought I should slightly clean up my act.
I'm just glad I didn't register that site myself (I pay $15 to a friend for him to host me). I'm about to go through a federal background check and I'm worried that somehow they'll find out that I spend a good chunk of my time doing this.

As far as the youtubes go, my computer died about a month ago and I had to format everything, including some software I had for ripping youtubes and exporting them to photoshop. But to be honest, I don't much enjoy doing the youtube loops because there's there's already a thread for it and because doing it feels much more like work than anything that's creative and fun.

So, a few things.
First, I'm really sorry I haven't responded to any requests in a while (although maybe still within the revised 25-60 day window?) Sadly, ever since I got a 9-6 job and was forced to pretend that I'm some sort of mature adult, my creativity just totally went down the drain. Also I haven't had a weed connection in months and tbh that used to be my motivator...now I just get home from work, eat dinner, watch the news, and gradually fall asleep. Yes, shit's getting way too real.
Secondly, miraculously, I've been spending the few moments of the week where I feel creative on a comic that will hopefully be published by Just1n3's Chance Press! I can't actually draw, so it relies on manipulated photos to tell the story. I know that shit is lame, but that's the way it is. My WDYLL from this month is one of the frames.
Finally, I didn't post to Barrylutz for a long time while I was in the gutter the past several months, and it appears that 1337 h4x0rs have taken over in the meantime. Everytime you go there (using Chrome) you get a warning about the horrible shit that will happen if you choose to view the page. And the last time I posted something, it appeared another the user name "John", even though I never registered that name and there should be no other registered users. (ironically, I was posting a picture of John Denver, so maybe dead John Denver is an 1337 h3x0r with a sense of humor?). Regardless, since my grand plan to take over the internet via barrylutz.com failed, I'll probably take it down. Maybe I'll replace it with barrylutzen.com in the future and actually, you know, pay attention to it and stuff.

whoa thanks, that's awesome!
weird synergy - I've never ever tried to "publicize" barrylutz beyond my friendz + here, but after redesigning the site a little bit and doing a few more than usual over the past week, I decided to email a few blogz that have covered animated gifs in the past to be like "hay i do this too, come and look". It's kinda weird because most of the well-known animated gifsters are people that loop film/tv clips, or a series of photo stills (like clouds moving across a sky, the sun rising, etc), which is cool, but when I try to get my stuff "out there" I think it kind of hits the taint of the internet because it doesn't really fit on an "art" blog, but it doesn't fit anywhere else either.
if anyone knows of a good place for me to email and say "hey look at my stuff and write a post about it sometime if you want" please let me know. so far I've just emailed

yeah, if you get a Tumblr people can easily follow your blog and thus see your updates in their dashboard without having to remember to specifically keep returning to your blog itself to see if you've updated. also, Tumblr makes it super easy for people to "reblog" your stuff, which will put your stuff on more people's radars

could on tumblr try to "like" one of my posts? I was messing around with the code for the notes, and I'm not sure if it's not showing up because no one has "liked" one of my posts (;_;) or because I fucked up the code!
also, slightly bummed that tumblr has problems with animated gifs wider than 500 px (http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/posting)

You can host the gif elsewhere and just use html to post the image, rather than uploading the gif to tumblr itself.

it's not the scaling down that's the problem so much as that it actually won't animate... like this:

when I try to post that on tumblr, either as an uploaded file or as a URL, the result doesn't animate, it's just a still.

― i'm gonna be straight with y'all, my name is banaka jones (Z S), Sunday, 26 September 2010 20:54 (thirteen years ago) link
actually, scratch that, just to make things even more confusing, I think this is the situation:
I can link to an image in the html, and it will display as an animated image, just as it should. The problem is that when you create a post in tumblr, it has to be categorized (text, photo, video, etc). I can't categorize it as a photo and then just link to it in the HTML, because it gives me a "you need to upload a photo" error. I can categorize it as Text and post it, and it displays just fine - the only problem is that the image doesn't appear in the Dashboard. I don't want to do that, either, because then anyone following me will just a bunch of blank spots in their dashboard whenever I post something.

it's not a 500px limit that keeps it from animating, it's a 500kb limit. It would be totally fucking cool if a site dedicated almost entirely to hosting images had a fucking FAQ explaining this but hey you know, they've got more important things to worry about like letting people make sharks or cats avatars
― dirk funk (gr8080), Sunday, 26 September 2010 21:05 (thirteen years ago) link
it's not a 500px limit that keeps it from animating, it's a 500kb limit.
The image that I've been having trouble posting is the one of admrl I posted above:
it's wider than 500px, but it's also only 405kb. But for some reason, it won't animate.
I tried another image wider than 500px, and it worked. But it's only 214kb.
So even though the documentation that tumblr has says "Since resizing animated GIFs is computationally intensive, large files (greater than 512K or wider than 500 pixels) may lose their animation if the upload server runs out of memory. Please avoid uploading unreasonably large animated GIFs", it seems like the limit is somewhere lower, less than 400, maybe?

now that you mention it, I think they may have lowered the limit recently because I'm positive it used to be 500kb but I had to re-size one down to under 400 the other day too

zs if you are wanting to become youtube video star i suggest you put all your gifs into a single mammoth movie and invite some drunkards over and record their reactions and that will be the audio for this movie which you will upload and become internet famous.i have made a computer thingy to create such a video automatically from livejournal animated gifs but jeebus willing it will work for your gifs.
― Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 6 October 2010 03:07 (thirteen years ago) link
ha, it's not a bad idea (unless the captured audio was all like "what is this? these are stupid. hey man i know a MUCH better video, pass the computer this way! -what? why not? whose video? whose? Zach? who is Zach? oh, that guy in the kitchen? wait, which guy? ..THAT guy? let's get out of here, I know a much better place we can hang out")
I already have the software to put together a video, but i'm sorta concerned about blowing my wad and then having to wait another 3 years before I can build up enough to make another!

http://www.google.com/analytics/
you sign up for an account there (just using your google username/pw), and somewhere in there they'll give you a few lines of html code. In tumblr, you edit your HTML (Customize>Theme>Custom HTML) and copy and paste the code in there, I think just before the </HEAD> tag
― www.askjeeves.com (Z S), Friday, 8 October 2010 05:14 (thirteen years ago) link
oooh, don't follow Tumblr's instructions there at the end (step 9) where they suggest just putting the code in the description field. I tried that for a few days, and google analytics was like "hay i don't get it". I switched the code over to the HTML, and it immediately started working and google analytics was like "hay here we go now"

have you thought about making a 100-gif magnum opus where each gif is its own individual animation, but when placed in a specific order on a 10 x 10 grid so that they form a mega-gif?
― Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 2 November 2010 00:21 (thirteen years ago) link
I have! Not 100 (10x10) gifs, exactly, but I've wanted to do a really big one with dozens of different pieces that fit together. The problem has just been hosting. Tumblr can't handle animated images wider than 500 pixels, let alone a megasaur gif combo. And my old barrylutz space wouldn't accommodate it well, either. And of course on ILX it wouldn't work (I think on some stylesheets it might look ok but I'm not sure, and in any case most people wouldn't be using the correct stylesheet and it would look different on everyone's monitors, etc)

hm.. how's about the next 9 requests you get, try to configure it so that you can put them into a 3x3 brady-bunch style one?you could do it as a table like:
<table><tr><td>1.gif</td><td>2.gif</td><td>3.gif</td></tr><tr><td>4.gif</td><td>5.gif</td><td>6.gif</td></tr><tr><td>7.gif</td><td>8.gif</td><td>9.gif</td></tr></table>

the proportions would be easy to do...the same number of frames would be a little difficult, maybe, but not impossible. But I think that even if animated gifs have the same number of frames (and timing of frames...you can set each frame to last as long as you want), that they'd still be out of sync with each other. I tried once to have a set of gifs that were coordinated with each other (I think I had something falling down through one frame and into the top of another), and found that the gifs start looping once they're done loading, instead of starting at the same exact moment, if that makes any sense.
Anyway, all of timing stuff is just a detail, but the main problem is where to put it. I could put it here on ILX, but I think the total width of all the images (say, three wide like you suggest) has to be less than a certain amount of pixels, or else it'll drop down the image to the next row? Like, for example, take this picture (350x420):
http://i52.tinypic.com/adjb5j.jpg
Here's 6 in a row, but I'm guessing it'll drop down into a new row on the 3rd or 4th image:

I have a few other commitments to take care of first (ILX Compilation 4 cover and a mini-comic that'll hopefully be printed and published by Justine+Jordan's Chance Press in a month or two. but then I'm thinking it would be neat to do ALL 100 of them and just put them on a new website.
― Z S, Saturday, 6 November 2010 18:11 (thirteen years ago) link
whoops, xpost
whoa, that's weird, the tessellation actually goes in and out of sync! I watched it for a minute and on one cycle everything was perfectly lined up...and then it went back out of sync. That's strange because the timing for each of the tiles is exactly the same - same amount of frames, same timing (.1 second) for each frame. huh.
― Z S, Saturday, 6 November 2010 18:14 (thirteen years ago) link
doesn't it depend on the filesize (hence loadting times) of the individual gifs?
― Adrian Roosevelt "Adie" Mike (nakhchivan), Saturday, 6 November 2010 18:21 (thirteen years ago) link
though of course that isn't consistent, so each f5 gives a different pattern!
― Adrian Roosevelt "Adie" Mike (nakhchivan), Saturday, 6 November 2010 18:23 (thirteen years ago) link
They start looping once they're done loading, yep, which explains why they're not in sync at the beginning. But what's weird is that they're looping at different speeds! Like, if the upper-left tile starts half a second earlier than the upper-right tile, it should continue to be half a second ahead no matter how long you look at it (since the two tiles have the same amount of frames and I set the speed at the same rate for all 9 images)...but after a while, the upper-left tile will start to only be .3 seconds faster, than .2, .1, then identical, then .1 slower, .2 slower, etc.
I have probably just written the most boring post ever posted on the internet. *champion*

well, I'm up to 92. gotta admit that it's not playing out the way I expected: I always thought that when a post got a bunch of activity out of nowhere, it also came attached with a bunch of new "followers". I figured all it took was one lucky post to get a big base of people following you, and after that it was pretty much like compound interest. But none of these 92 people who reblogged are following me (well, 1 brave soul did), so the next thing I do is back at square one.

Great guide for both foreign and domestic men!, October 26, 2010By Judith Johnson "JJ" (Memphis, TN) - See all my reviews(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME) This review is from: The Single Girl's Guide to Meeting European Men (Paperback)As I have always found Brits to be very appealing, I was really excited to find this book. I found Ms. Cahoon's book to be well organized and written in a very modern tone for today's woman. Much of the advice she offers could also pertain to meeting males of most cultures, it is great practical information that your best friend or a favorite aunt might offer but it is great to have it in written form.
I love the way she goes country by country offering cultural insights, best places to meet men and also how to handle sticky situations that might occasionally arise. I was kinda disappointed to discover that Brits are some of the more difficult to get to know better. Oh well, I still harbor hope that it is possible to travel to London and meet hottie actor Richard Armitage *_*

But I bet if I posted it in tile formation here it would start to look fucked up after awhile due to the Law of Unsynced Gifs that we discovered/liveblogged on this thread a couple of weeks ago:

tiles look awes
― markers, Friday, 19 November 2010 03:17 (thirteen years ago) link
it looks good on my blag, because I have the image as both the tiled bg and the newest post, and they're purposefully out of sync with each other (different gifs with a different starting point in the color cycle). But for me, the attempted 3x3 fuck up tile is all in sync, unfortunately. :-/
dammit, when I want them to sync, they won't, and when I don't, they do. "But really, in life, aren't we all wanting tiles to sync up when they won't, and wanting them to not sync up when they do? makes you think..."

Man, if the animated gif with sound technology the final frontier) was available, the jiggling cowbell boobs could play a brief melody, like the theme from family ties, or greensleeves
― need to impressive a girl? (Z S), Wednesday, 24 November 2010 19:14 (thirteen years ago) link
I mean, there's stuff like http://ytmnd.com or something, but that's not exactly sound embedded in the gif
― markers, Wednesday, 24 November 2010 19:17 (thirteen years ago) link
To save space, it would be cool to embed midi in it. That would also be consistent with the sorta retro-y/widely compatible thing that the animated gif has going for it anyway. I think we could be on the cusp of something huge here.
We're gonna be rich!

hi Z S!
ive been banned since you got in the tumblr game, but have been watching from the sidelines.
you seem really concerned with how many people are reblogging you!!! and i mean, you go to the hard work of making creative, original shit so yeah you'd like to know its getting out there, but you should just enjoy making them IMO. there is no explanation for what will catch on and what won't. except for nudity. people like/reblog nudity pretty reliably.
How many followers do you have? cause that's way more key to getting more re-blogs and likes and shit than trying to re-create the creepy-cat magic.
here's how i got the ball rolling on three frames tho (now at 14,500 followers):
after like a month of posting, i started using tumblr's search function. when i had a week of posts from Harold and Maude, I searched for stuff that was tagged with "Harold and Maude" "Bud Cort" etc. I found people who had recently posted H+M stuff and started following them. Then i found H+M posts with dozens or even hundreds of likes and reblogs on them and followed every single person who liked/reblogged harold and maude stuff. then i liked (couldn't reblog due to my tumblr's strict format) all their recent posts as they showed up in my feed.
is this a waste of time? yes and no. a lot of those people never noticed "3frames likes this" or "3frames started following you" once-- i can tell you that i stopped paying attention to new followers after i got to like 500. if some dude "likes" a dozen posts in a row, however, he'll get my attention. but eventually it got the ball rolling.
and yes, i was stuck with a few hundred morons clogging up my feed with tired memes, but after a few months i was able to start whittling it down.
if these guys haven't started following/reblogging you yet:
http://gifanime.tumblr.com/http://lovegifs.tumblr.com/
i would go and "like" their last 20 posts or so to get their attention.

i do enjoy making them of course, but i do enjoy it when they get out a little bit further. it's kinda pathetic but i think i just got really pumped when i had the one that got all the reblogs, like a couple thousand. I mean, after posting on barrylutz.com for over a year and getting an average of about 5-6 hits (2-3 usually from me checking to see if someone commented or something), it was really gratifying and a bit motivator to make more.
158. Yep that's right, that's over 12 x 12, the momentum really starting picking up when-
here's how i got the ball rolling on three frames tho (now at 14,500 followers)
-http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa113/Lee1959/Cats/WideEyes.gif
WHOA, that's INSANE.
I've been doing a very smallscale version of what you did - i followed the people that were like the "tipping point" enablers on the creepy cat gif (like they would reblog it and immediately 10-20 other people would reblog it from them). but i didn't follow that up with a bunch of likes on their stuff afterward. and most of them didn't follow me back. i will give that a shot, it's a good idea. plus i like the idea of doing "weeks" targeted at certain subjects. i might prepare a small set of gifs on a few different themes and then go all out in the outreach campaign.
welcome back, btw, your bannage was a ridiculous injustice imo

nah, it's not really working well because like grady said upthread, on tumblr it's all about getting a ton of followers, and even on these freak incidents where something sorta halfway blows up, i only get maybe 5-10 new followers. when something does get popular for a day or two, it's just because stonerparty or someone like that reblogs it, and then everything after that is just traffic coming from there. every once in a while some sad suckah will accidentally wander my way and click the "follow" button, but not many.

the one with the grid has 10 frames. In that one, there are 10 separate bird frames, and only 4 different sidewalk flower frames (which doesn't line up, of course, so I ended up having to kind of fib with the sidewalk in the final two frames, hopefully unnoticeably)

xpost I think the most difficult part, so far, is in stopping a line, raising the stylus, and then trying to resume the line. sometimes it takes a few tries to make the connection look halfway smooth. though, again, since I suck at drawing in real life, that's a problem I have with pen and paper anyway

― Z S, Sunday, 6 February 2011 02:42 (thirteen years ago) link
i pretty much just use photoshop, and when you save gifs in photoshop there's a whole window full of options...lemme get a screenshot...
http://i53.tinypic.com/2le3iw.jpg
so obv the "lossy" slider is a big factor (0 to 100), but the number of colors makes a big difference too, and the dither. I had dither at 0 in that screenshot, but if I would have had it at 100 that would have been the "max" quality. Whereas lossy at 100, dither at 0, and colors at like 4 or 8 is pretty much the bare minimum.
i've noticed that a lot of people's "thing" on tumblr is to turn the quality all the way down on everything. like, here's an ultra-lossy version of something i posted earlier today:

ok
can i open existing animated gifs in photoshop?
― gr8080, Sunday, 6 February 2011 03:15 (thirteen years ago) link
nope. it'll just open them up as one frame. so if you want to mess around with an existing animated gif in photoshop you have to split the frames up into separate images using another program and then import them into photoshop, one layer at a time. it's a giant pain in the ass and everytime photoshop comes out with a new version i really hope they address it.

you should ask abbbottt that! i just mentioned it because i know she's interested in color theory and is pretty much a pro. i, on the other hand, am the kind of person who needs to take 15-20 seconds to remember what color red and blue combine to create.

thanks kelpolaris!
it started it off as just a "fun" thing to do for an ilx thread..after a month or so i got the harebrained idea that i could start up a website and that it would really take off. the idea was that random internet people would submit animation "requests" (similar to this thread at the beginning) and that i'd animate them. people are always looking for cool facebook profile pics, if nothing else, and a custom gif is kind of a novelty still, if it's done well. i thought that people would maybe like their custom animations, and then tell their friends so they could get animated too. and so on, until some sort of critical mass was reached.
then i started barrylutz.com and got about 34 hits per month (most of them coming from my own visits)
i don't really know why i'm still doing it, or what i'm trying to accomplish. have to admit there are many times when i wonder if it was a good idea to invest 1000s of hours into this stuff. if i wasn't doing this i'd probably still be investing 1000s of hours into my crappy "music", so i guess it's a zero sum game, kinda

btw since we're talking on the internet here i meant to mention that i meant to bust out a rough storyboard for that one thing by now...sorry! i've been applying for a bunch of jobs right now and it's been eating up all my spare time. even right now i have a cover letter open in another window, making me feel guilty!

noooooo! see, if i don't have a deadline, i never get anything done. i am like a 2nd grader, i work on a strict rewards system, like, i don't get to play a videogame until i get something done.
― larry buttz (Z S), Tuesday, 22 March 2011 02:33 (thirteen years ago) link
the problem is that no one is there to enforce the rewards system anymore, and if i don't get what i want i just drink a bunch.
this could really be the root of my problems, i'm having a breakthrough

Whoa, that looks awesome! Gah, i keep meaning to send you more gifs, but I seriously haven't been home for more than a few minutes since Monday. I've had a really bizarre week. I'm basically replying to your email here, but I'd be totally cool with your floppy disk/ILX idea. The only possible hangup with that is just logistical - the gifs are generally 400kb-1000kb each, and i think a floppy disk only hold 1.44MB (or 1440kb), so it would only be able to store a couple images. Plus, most people don't have floppy drives anymore! but either way, definitely don't mind you raising some $$ for ILX in clever ways!

Not to take anything away form ZS massive pioneering gif work (follow you bro and you rule <3), but slighty off topic: I always thought that "staff" tumblr was a hoax? Not long ago I came across a tumblr msg originating from them that said "reblog this is you still want your tumblr to be active in 20 days" or something. It had like 100k reblogs. I defied for I don't want to believe that is how it works nowadays. Was it legit?

i think you can reblog a staff post, but then delete everything they wrote and add your own shit to make it look official? i fell for it once, i think.

i haven't, mainly because i don't know where i could post them in those formats, and also thinking that while gifs generally automatically show up and start animating (almost everywhere except facebook, that is), there are sometimes compatibility issues with video/flash, sometimes people need to press the play button to see them, etc

http://hires.tpparty.com/zshirez/Cindy-Sherman-Untitled-479(FULL).gif
that's the largest that it could be, because the largest source photo of Untitled #479 that I could find is on the MoMA website: http://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2012/cindysherman/gallery/chronology/#

although, you know, i just doubled the size of the image anyway, up to 600px wide, even though it's going to be slightly pixelated. i try to avoid going beyond the image dimensions of the source material when i can to avoid pixelation, but in this case it doesn't look awful, and it would be nice to have a larger version:

nothing new, but i'm going to be participating in this in may: http://www.wpadc.org/exhibitions/exhbt_upcoming.html (scroll down to "Experimental Media 2012 Workshop Series")
i'm really hoping to be able to build a physical animated gif machine with three tacky gigantic dials in the center that lets the user:
- choose three animations to project onto a wall- adjust the speed of each animation- manipulate each animation (for example, there could be a dial that increases the opacity of a figure in the foreground of an animation and also introduces another element at the same time - e.g., a scrunchy browed ancient scientist and an overheating calculator, or whatever)

the part of the workshop series that will be most instructive to me is the Microcontroller Shield & Arduino sections. i don't really have much of a talent for electronics (though obv i'm trying to at least get to a basic level through doing this), but luckily i know this guy who is an epic theoretical scientist and a part time genius who has expressed his willingness to help me out. i mentioned that i was interested in arduino and he switched tabs on his laptop to show me the Arduino code that he was currently working on. *shakes head*

but tbh my what's driving a lot of my recent interest is my new gf (WHO IS AWESOME) who works actively to get into exhibitions, does video work, constantly talks about and references artists, and frequently sends me invites to shows/workshops around the city. she's so great. she's also the person that brought the Experimental Media workshop series thing to my attention. i'm excited about the idea of creating some sort of physical apparatus, because i've been thinking of trying to show a few longer form animations somewhere, but i want it to be more than just projecting it on a wall. it'd be cool if people could actually manipulate it themselves.

― no-one seemed to hear him so he leafed through a magazine (snoball), Wednesday, 22 August 2012 20:19 (eleven years ago) link
the laurie anderson one was my first foray into the exciting but somewhat baffling world of "data bending". as always, i'm years behind the times, but i was reading a newer kenneth goldsmith book (Uncreative Writing) and he briefly talked about how you can open images in a text editor, they show up as piles and piles of gibberish looking code, and then you can make some random adjustments to that series of characters, resave the text file as a jpg (or bmp or whatever), and it results in an altered image. the offset laurie andersons in the animation above were made like that.
i'm not sure if that's how all glitch-style animations are made - maybe it is. but it's a cool new area to work with. and plus, i want to experiment more with mixing in glitchy/random alterations with more static overlays.

What did you think of the Kenneth Goldsmith book ZS?
― the so-called socialista (dowd), Tuesday, 4 September 2012 20:39 (eleven years ago) link
i liked it a lot! although, to be honest, even though it was already pretty thin, the whole thing probably could have been boiled down to a single, kickass 20 page essay on appropriation.
and i'll once again display my terrible naiveté, but for me it was valuable reading just because it had never really occurred to me that some people would connect things like manipulating found images into looping gifs to a much long line of artistic traditions (duchamp, warhol, sampling in music, etc). but even though i appreciate goldsmith's perspective, i'm coming from a totally different angle. goldsmith will openly proclaim that he doesn't care if anyone actually reads his "uncreative writing". so in his books where he chronicled every single thing he said for a week, or laboriously copied out every single word from an edition of the NYT, he doesn't expect anyone to actually peruse the resulting work and get any satisfaction out of it, but rather for people to just consider the underlying concept of the piece and argue about THAT. which is awesome. but coming from my tiny gif part of the world (and def not comparing myself to goldsmith in any way), it's the exact opposite - i just want things i make to be visually interesting. sometimes there's a rough "concept" behind a gif before i start work on it (e.g., use four shifting colors in the foreground, and the same shifting four colors in the background so that occasionally the bg and foreground are indistinguishable for a frame), and since reading his book i definitely think about that kind of stuff a lot more than i did before, but it's still kind of a tertiary thought.
anyway, way tmi about all that, but i'd recommend checking it out, or at least the two chapters that are posted for free online (the introduction and Why Appropration?).
― Thanks WEBSITE!! (Z S), Tuesday, 4 September 2012 21:11 (eleven years ago) link
I read it a couple of weeks ago, and I really enjoyed it - I was just interested in how you found it from a visual arts point of view (my interest was in concrete poetry (and it's descendents) and someone mentioned that he discussed it in the book).
I agree about the 'kickass 20 page essay point'. Still, given something to think about - he's very good at conveying the sheer possibilities we have in a world of text, and how little we've actually explored these ideas.
― the so-called socialista (dowd), Tuesday, 4 September 2012 22:23 (eleven years ago) link
Also reminded me of the frustrations that led me away from experimental poetry/text - the resistance of our mainstream culture to any influence from poetry. The idea of a poetic Warhol, as he discusses, is such an appealing one, but I just don't see it happening. So the avant-garde ends up talking to itself endlessly and fruitlessly (same in other art forms too, obv, that lack the immediacy of the visual, or the musical). But then I get easily frustrated.

Was surprised by the lack of Edwin Morgan references in the Kenneth Goldsmith book, so I thought I would re-appropriate one of his poems in your (and his) honour; I only changed the title.

(^^these are just mods of a video i took of rafael lozano-hemmer's Voice Array, which i saw at bitforms gallery in nyc this weekend. you speak into a microphone on the left edge, it transforms the audio into a pulsating light, and then slides your light recording in on the left side, bumping each of the previous 200 or so recordings one spot to the right, and knocking the one that was on the far right (the 200th recording, or whatever the number was) "out" of the piece, so that the audio plays alone on a speaker. pretty cool!)

There is a small twist, but not as much as it appears. (Put your finger on one of the heads and you can see it.) I've had the flu a couple times where my vision was like this - very uncomfortable.
― nickn, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:07 (eleven years ago) link
there are 6 frames. the first three are the original image, the original image rotated 1 degree, and then the original image rotated 2 degrees. frames 4-6 are the same as 1-3, but with inverted colors.
it's a pretty common effect in the gif world, i think, but until recently i couldn't figure out exactly how it was done.

It's pretty amazing that they are still in use, and pretty much work no matter what OS or browser you use. Animated gifs even show up on smart phones, don't they? I feel like they'll be around until HTML itself starts going away.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 17 March 2013 16:23 (eleven years ago) link
How do you do that rotating? Cos the only way I've found has been make a layer, duplicate it, rotate it 15 degrees, duplicate that, rotate it, etc. Is that really the only way in PS?
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 17 March 2013 16:25 (eleven years ago) link
i hope so!
although, i kind of hope that as bandwidth and processing power continues to improve, maybe a new enhanced format (ggiiff?) could be developed that allows for a few more colors. an inherent limitation of the .gif is that you can only use 256 colors. even if you make an animation that has a million colors in it in photoshop (which is easy to do, actually, if you're blending multiple images with a huge diversity of tones/hues over 20-30 frames), when you save it as a gif it reduces it down to 256 colors. and don't get me wrong, i love that limitation. it's what makes gifs gifs. but anyway, it might be cool if a new format was adopted on a wide scale that allowed for, say, 1024 colors.
― ( ( ( ( ( ( ( (Z S), Sunday, 17 March 2013 16:28 (eleven years ago) link
pretty much. it takes a long, long time. in after effects you can do it much more quickly and efficiently. i'm stuck in my old photoshop ways, though.
― ( ( ( ( ( ( ( (Z S), Sunday, 17 March 2013 16:29 (eleven years ago) link
one thing about rotations, though. and sorry if a) you already know this or b) this makes no sense, but:
depending on what you're working with, you don't need need to create a separate layer to rotate all the way around the circle. for example, take this one:
http://24.media.tumblr.com/763a2917eb8e64a6dbc3c49d2df1b7c2/tumblr_mjqbubeMeV1qdmmiqo1_500.gif
it's only 8 frames iirc. each tip of the star is only really moving 15 degrees or so through the course of the 8 frames. i.e., if you put a black mark on one of the tips, you'd see how it works. actually, i should just do that. hold on.

― ( ( ( ( ( ( ( (Z S), Sunday, 17 March 2013 16:36 (eleven years ago) link
so, i didn't have to create layers to rotate the star ALL the around the circle, just enough to create the illusion that i did.
― ( ( ( ( ( ( ( (Z S), Sunday, 17 March 2013 16:37 (eleven years ago) link
YES. Oh hell yeah, one of the benefits of using a symmetrical object! Yeah i don't think i've ever had luck making an animated gif w After Effects, tho it seems like it would be the ideal way to do it.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 17 March 2013 16:56 (eleven years ago) link
i really need to go back to that star and do something better with it. it looks really simple - 3 layers of stars, getting bigger and smaller, rotating - but each of those stars is actually 8 separate triangles, each of which has 8 copy layers that extend in or contract in. originally i was going to make the tips of the stars ripple around, but then i kept drinking and i got lazy and just made the entire star get bigger/smaller in unison. but all the components are still there! "goals"
― ( ( ( ( ( ( ( (Z S), Sunday, 17 March 2013 17:00 (eleven years ago) link
I guess you could much about with html & css and layer transparent gifs. Dunno how well the browsers would blend them.
Out of curiosity, I gave it a shot... wooh, made my first gif animations ever, too! My god, I'm REALLY good at this! Or at least terrible. (I just wanted colors and movement, obv)Blended gifs (first two pics are separate animations, third is the two on top of one another, with 50% opacity on the topmost)But uhh, obviously this isn't pure giffiness, since it's two separate images + css is needed to get the thing to work.
― Øystein, Sunday, 17 March 2013 17:01 (eleven years ago) link
that's really interesting! i wish i knew more about css/html
so the first two are gifs, and then the third is just using html/css (i'm terribly unknowledgeable about this, i'm probably saying something ridiculous) to lay them on top of each other?
― ( ( ( ( ( ( ( (Z S), Sunday, 17 March 2013 17:05 (eleven years ago) link
That's right. I imagine one could do something more interesting with it with, I dunno, transparent gifs (or possibly white backgrounds), to get around that washed out look.
― Øystein, Sunday, 17 March 2013 17:07 (eleven years ago) link
i think it would be neat to layer the gifs so that they weren't exactly aligned. like, if the rectangles below were actually gifs:

hey, stevie d asked me something on facebook about optimizing gifs, and i thought i'd repost my answer here in case A) it's of use to anyone here and/or B) someone wants to suggest other tips for optimizing gifs for file size, or i'm deeply wrong about something, or whatever:
One way to optimize in Photoshop is just to give it an approximate size and let it do it for you. In the upper-right corner of the "Save for Web" box, there's an "Optimize to File Size" option you can choose.
The problem is that PS tends to make gifs look like shit when it auto-optimizes, imo. In my experience it usually knocks down the overall colors a bunch, whereas I usually want to keep as many of the 256 colors as I can.
The best way to optimize it depends on what you're working with. If you're working with design kind of stuff - a few different solid colors, not too many gradients - then you can knock down the overall colors to 32 or so and it won't harm the quality much, and it'll help with the file size a bunch. If you're working with a real life image - like from a movie or something - with lots of different shades and colors, you can't really knock it down beneath 128 colors without sacrificing a lot of quality.
I'm running out of time (headed out the door in a sec), sorry. But I guess my standard tip to drastically reduce file size is to start by bumping up the "Lossy" value to something low, like 5 (out of 100), and then lowering the "Dither" value to something like 90 (out of 100). Adjusting those two values even just a little bit sometimes drops the file size significantly. So where a 0/100 Lossy gif might be 1.5 MB, a 5/100 Lossy gif might be 1.0 MB. but then a 10/100 might be just 950 kb, 15/100 might be 925kb, etc. My point is that for some reason the first few bits of Lossy value that you introduce have a much more significant effect on file size than continuing to add Loss.
So if you need to reduce file size, start by doing just a little Loss, a little dither, and see if that helps. Generally the gif will still look acceptably close to the original full quality version, and sometimes at half the file size. That protip comes with a ton of caveats and doesn't always work, but it commonly does help out so give it a try.
If the file is still too large, try reducing the size of the image just a little. Going from 500x500 to 400x400 makes a huge difference because you're going from an area of 250,000 to 160,000 - a reduction of about 36%.
Finally, of course, think about removing a frame or two, especially if one of those frames uses colors that are really different from the rest of the frames. The more consistent you keep the colors in the frames that are used in the gif, the more efficient the optimization will be.
IMO!

eh, i may take out the square thing at the end. it was supposed to represent the increasing of distance from the bird in each cycle - the bird spawns a mutant which grows to twice its size then eats it, and then the camera draws back as it nears the looping frame so that the viewer thinks (or is supposed to think) that the birds are getting bigger and bigger as the loops continue. but taking a breather from it after spending all day working on it, i'm not sure that makes any sense

oh, i don't know. depends on which perspective you're using. i don't know much about it (or any good guesses on the future of tech in general) but if GFYs really are much smaller than GIFs and can handle more colors and higher resolutions, it could be a better file format for the purposes of most people. Almost everyone just uses a GIF to extract a clip from a longer video, anyway, so if there's a new way to do it that looks better, people would use it. GFY's success might just come down to compatibility with existing browsers and devices and apps. GIFs are supported on nearly everything (except fucking facebook and twitter, sigh) which is a large part of their success.
there's a comparatively tiny community of people who are interested in making GIFs from scratch, or by taking a short clip of video and manipulating it significantly, and within that, an even smaller portion of people who don't mind or even embrace the GIFs limitations (256 colors max, having to keep the frame count down for the viewer's practical purposes). having those limitations can be creatively beneficial sometimes because it forces you to be as economical as possible. but for the most part, i'm sure the more creative GIFmakers wouldn't mind switching to a more efficient format that can handle whatever they do. i know there's quite a few times where i had to drastically reduce the quality of a GIF (either by cutting out lots of frames or dropping the color quality significantly) in order to get it under a certain file size, and in those situations i would have been really happy if photoshop had a Save As GFY option that would have served my purposes!

it's a 1:250,000 scale map from the dept. of the interior, 1992! here's a giganto version: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/topo/250k/txu-pclmaps-united_states-index.jpg
it divides the US up into a series of topographical areas. in the big version i linked to you can see dates for each segment - that's the last year that the topographical map was updated for that segment. the idea was that you could contact them to order large versions of any of the segments.

i made a GIF for the prism pipe show at pehrspace in L.A. last night. some ambient musicians played while several "hypnoGIFs" were projected onto a big screen behind them. usually i have to cut down on frames, dimensions, and image quality to meet the requirements of my overlords at tumblr, so this was a cool opportunity to make a giganto animation and save it as a .mp4 so that it could keep all of the nice colors (GIFs are limited to 256 colors, of course). here's a short clip of what it looked like, with one of the members of the band (L'éternèbre) playing in front:

since the contest involves a text messaging app, i'm assuming that some of the digital "stickers" will be included in a new emoji-like images competitor for text messaging. i tried to keep things big so that if you reduce it down to a tiny 40x40 emoji size image it might still convey the sense of ZZZzzzz. but all the little noise details will be lost in a tiny version, so i doubt this will do well with the judges. later this weekend i'm going to try to make a new one for a different category and do a better job.

i got that by googling for seamless wallpaper (it still has the watermark) and then making a layer that was two copies of the same square next to each other.
any tips on other seamless scroll techniques?
― gr8080, Tuesday, 23 December 2014 14:21 (nine years ago) link
and then making a layer that was two copies of the same square next to each other.
this is the key, so you're already most of the way there. if the background image that you want to scroll is symmetrical, it's easier, but it's still possible with non-symmetrical images.
i'm not sure what software you're using (photoshop?), but basically, as you said, you want to have two copies of the same background that are contiguous to each other. let's say you have the original square on the right, and then the copied square adjacent to it on the left.
the idea is to have the first first frame of the animation display just the original square on the right, and then the final frame of the animation display the copied square on the left. at this point, if you flip back and forth between the first and final frames, the background square should look identical - they're actually two different parts of the same layer, but they're lined up perfectly, showing the same thing.
then, when you tween (again if you're using photoshop) between the first and final frames, photoshop will create as many frames as you choose between the two, and gradually scroll over from the square on the right to the square on the left. the last step is to delete the final frame of the animation (otherwise you'll have two consecutive frames where the background image appears to be in the same spot).
from your GIFs above i think you already knew all that! but it gets slightly trickier if you're dealing with non-symmetrical scrolling images, or if you want to go for a diagonal scroll.
non-symmetrical: it's the same idea as symmetrical images, it's just that you have to do an extra step of prep by converting your unsymmetrical image to a symmetrical image. there are plenty of ways to do that, but the quickest (i think) is just to create a copy of the image, flip it horizontally, and then move the copy over to the side of the original, then merge the two together as a new, twice as large, layer.
diagonal: same idea as non-symmetrical, except that you'll need to create copies above, below, and to the sides of the original before merging into your new layer. all that matters is that the background image appears to be in the same spot in the first and final frames, even though it's actually displaying a different part of the same image. good lord i'm terrible at explaining this, sorry, but i think you'll already know what i mean.
other things: one thing i like to do is create multiple scrolling background layers that appear to be moving at different speeds. for example, 6 scrolling background layers, each one with ocean waves. each of the 6 scrolling layers has a different length (maybe one of them is 800 pixels wide, another is 1000 pixels wide, etc). you prepare each of the 6 layers by making copies of them and doubling their length (and if the waves are non-symmetrical, horizontally flipping the copies). then you make sure that the 6 layers are lined up properly in the first and final frames of the animation - when you click back and forth the waves should look identical, even though you're seeing a different part of the same image. finally, when you tween between the first and final frames, the 6 wave layers will move at different speeds, seamlessly. the shorter waves will appear to move more slowly, while the lengthier waves will appear to move more quickly because they have to travel faster during the same amount of frames.
once you've got multiple scrolls going on, it's an easy leap to start making them scroll in different directions. it's also fun to play with moire patterns by using parallel lines as your scroll layers and applying effects like overlay or darken or whatever.

actually, based on the background circular swirls in your GIFs i'm guessing you're using after effects? you can do circle spins in photoshop but it is a massive pain in the ass.

One technique for making seamless textures is by creating roughly what you want, then using the "offset" function to get the seams at the edges to the centre. Fix those, then offset it a couple more times to make sure new seams didn't appear. But uh, that's probably less useful for making animations than it would be if you were creating a 3D model or something.
I tried to make a gif last week, but Gimp made me want to go hang myself.
― Øystein, Tuesday, 23 December 2014 16:27 (nine years ago) link
lol yeah i have been doing these all manually... the "tween" button has proven to be very sad and confusing to me so far.... tell me more abt it bc every time i click it i get angry and delete everything
w/ the drew/koala one, i googled for seamless art and found that background then doubled it, (as previously discussed) and then nudged it manually about 20 mouse clicks each time i manually created a new frame, until i had enough frames for it to repeat
the stevie, kitty, and leonardo gifs were all done by manually creating 36 different frames and then 36 different background layers (each rotated 10° from the previous), pretty tedious but very rewarding
the frankenstein one was the same process but i was lucky enough to find a spiral image that looped seamlessly after only 7 frames (or 60° of rotation i guess.... or 70°?? idk)
here's my first attempt at creating my own seamless background, done for a big vin diesel fan:
http://i.imgur.com/kOhD7Hb.gif
i basically just made sure that the only vin diesels that left the canvas area were exactly 50% on the canvas and 50% off (so i could nudge a copy all the way over to the opposite edge and have the other 50% on that side of the canvas)
here's a slower version w/o my friend, if you look at the top right corner you can see a yellow vin's elbow that doesn't quite line up, oops. probably could have fixed that by just sending yellow vin back a few layers
http://i.imgur.com/0iWiJv7.gif
so yeah tell me abt tweening
― gr8080, Tuesday, 23 December 2014 18:34 (nine years ago) link
i feel your manual labor pain, because that's the way i did scrolls for a couple years, rather than using tweens. and even now, sometimes manual is the way to go.
tweening is actually pretty easy and useful once you have the proper settings. here's a screenshot i found, for reference:
http://i.imgur.com/o2dp2fN.jpg
i think these might be the default settings, but either way, start with that.
the easiest thing to do as a demo/test is to create a white background layer, and then a second layer with a black dot (or whatever). in your animation panel, make two frames. in the first frame, put the black dot layer in the upper-left corner, and in the second frame, position the dot layer in the lower-right corner.
then, with the first frame selected, click the tween button. (this will automatically subscribe you to a mailing list for collectors of rare tween pop star memorabilia). choose the number of frames to add: 5 or so will be fine. make sure that position, opacity and effects are all checked, then click OK. this will insert 5 new frames between the frame you have selected (the first frame) and the next frame. tweening will compare the position of the black dot layer in the first frame (in the upper-left corner) with the position of the layer in the subsequent frame (in the lower-right corner), and then automatically make the black dot "move" from the first position to the second over the course of 5 new frames. the effect will be that the black dot will move from the upper-left to the lower-right over the course of 7 frames (the first frame, the 5 frames you added using tween, and the final frame).
as you've probably guessed, you can also use tweening to fade in or out, since it also keeps track of opacity. another simple demo: 2 layers (background white layer and a black dot layer in the center), 2 frames. in the first frame, the opacity of the black dot is set to 0%. in the second frame, the opacity of the black dot is set to 100%. if you use tween to add frames between the two, it will gradually move the opacity slider for the black dot from 0 to 100% in the frames that are added. comes in handy sometimes.
so back to the seamless scroll thing.
let's assume you have the setup you described earlier - a layer that's composed of two identical square images, side by side. i'll call the left half side A and the right half side B. open up the animation panel, and in the first frame, make sure that only side B is visible. create a second frame and reposition the layer in the second frame so that only side A is visible. when you click back and forth between frame 1 and 2 there should be no visible difference, even though in frame 1 you're looking at side B and in frame 2 you're looking at side A. then, select frame 1 and tween it, adding 9 new frames. this will give you a total of 11 frames - the 1st frame that shows side B, the 11th frame that shows side A, and 9 tweened frames in between.
if you hit the play button on the animation panel at this point, you'll see that it slowly slides from side B to side A. you'll also notice that there's an annoying lag between the last frame and the first frame whenever the GIF repeats. the reason for this lag is that frame 11 and 1 look the same, since one shows side B and the other shows side A, which look identical. just delete frame 11, leaving you with 10 frames and (hopefully) the seamless scroll effect.

still probably no way to tween the 36 layer rotating backgrounds though, right?
― gr8080, Tuesday, 23 December 2014 19:04 (nine years ago) link
i believe that you can, actually, but only in after effects, not photoshop. but i'm almost certain that with AE you can select a layer/element, apply an effect (probably "rotate" or something close to it), and then specify how long you want the effect to take to execute (360 rotation over 1 second or over 10 seconds, for example).
one of my new years resolutions is to lock myself in a room with AE and fuck around until i'm proficient. however, i've also managed to convince myself that doing things the slow, laborious way with photoshop is often better, because i'm forced to look at every frame and make adjustments, hopefully giving things a more organic feel rather than feeling like a program executed a line of code.

one thing that's cool about photoshop is that there's like a million different ways to do the same thing. there's almost certainly a way that you could write a script or action that would automatically convert a single image into 36 different layers (10 degree rotation, 20 degree, etc, all the way around the circle), so that at least you wouldn't have to deal with that step when working with rotating animations.

― gr8080, Tuesday, 23 December 2014 19:19 (nine years ago) link
like repeating pattern seamless images? nope. just a few weeks ago i went on a hunt and came up empty. if you're going to be using them a lot, it might pay to invest some time into creating them yourself. Øystein's method would work for some things, and there are other ways you can use as well. i haven't done much searching, but it wouldn't surprise me if there was some sort of online seamless pattern generator tool.

what's the most frames you've used in a single animated gif?

― pplains, Friday, 15 May 2015 02:25 (eight years ago) link
i had the same problem with gif exploder when i tried to count. it looks like it's at least 400?
i think i've made some with around 99? i post them on tumblr, and tumblr seems to have issues when gifs have around 60+ frames, and also gifs with that many frames are usually large filesizes and i try to keep things under 2MB since that's the tumblr limit
but really there's nothing to stop you from making gifs with a thousand frames except for practical things like processor speeds and acceptable filesizes

Is this any good? It's a page from Paul van Ostaijen's Bezette Stadt, which I'm kind of into the idea of animating. Though I don't speak any language well aside from English and it's in multiple languages in parts, so... maybe I can't do much of it with any great meaning. But maybe this is just shit anyway.

Hope you didn't mind
course i don't mind pplains! one thing to keep in mind with gif frame speeds is that the various browsers allow different minimum frame rates. i didn't realize this until just a few months ago, but if you go below .05 seconds per frame, there are a few major browsers that will just ignore it and reset it to .05 again. i think there's even one major browser that won't allow less than 0.06 seconds. it was enough of a shocker that i resolved to never use framerates below 0.05 ever again. i don't know why i'm sharing this useless information except that i need to tell SOMEONE.

starting to mess around with projecting images onto real objects. this is just a real messy one but it was the first one where i kind of completed a lo-fi proof of concept. there are really crisp and precise ways to do it that involve 3d modeling but i think i'm fine with just approximating the effect and making minor adjustments at the end to match the image onto the object.

those gifs just above didn't come out the way i thought it would, but it might be a neat process to apply to something else. in photoshop you can "tween" 2 animation frames so that it creates a new frame (or frames) that's a hybrid of the two surrounding it, in terms of positioning of elements and opacity. the one on the top left is the original, and then i started creating tweened frames and deleting the originals. as you go lower, you're seeing tweens of tweens, and then tweens of the tweened tweens, then tweens of the tweened tweened tweens, etc. i know that doesn't make any sense but it's fun to type, and i do think it would potentially create a cool effect if applied to a more interesting image.

in other news i'm trying to get better at cinema 4D. a friend directed me toward it because apparently you can use it to make rough computer models of real life spaces so that you can project videos/gifs/images onto IRL oblong objects without it spilling onto other surfaces. i made a rookie attempt at doing something like that recently with ted cruz faces on amazon boxes (see here but doing it via cinema 4D would let me be way more precise and allow for more flexibility too. ANYWAY (this my bl0g) when i started messing around with cinema 4D i realized it's a really easy-to-use application with tons of animation capabilities as well. i have a feeling that it's what people like DVDP use to make their gifs.

just in case anyone's interested (*crickets*), i'm thinking of doing a little twitch stream of my gifmaking adventures tonight, probably starting around 7:30 or 8:00pm EST. i figured it might be kind of interesting - i know i'd love to watch in on people working on stuff and flailing away and making tons of mistakes, rather than watching streamlined tutorials which pretend like everything is so straightforward. it might be inspiring in a way, too, since you can see 1) how simple it really is and 2) how much i manage to fuck it up at every juncture all the same.
anyway, i'll post the link here later tonight if anyone's interested. i usually just start with zero idea of wtf to do, but this time i'm planning on doing a trump of many faces because it's a familiar process and finding the source images will be rather easy. plus i'm always on a quest to create a viral trump that will make him look foolish and/or satanic.

I am actually enjoying watching the gif-making process when it's working, though. I once tried to teach my friend how I make gifs, I think he thought it was going to be sparkly and fun and magic but it is in fact mostly fiddly and painstaking.
― emil.y, Friday, 4 March 2016 01:47 (eight years ago) link
thanks for that, emil.y! also after some messing around with the settings i think i finally hit a combo that is decent quality and doesn't lag too much, and the audio/video still stays in sync. sorry i didn't have it working well earlier!
― Karl Malone, Friday, 4 March 2016 05:10 (eight years ago) link
ok, i'm back at again tonight, and appear to have finally solved the lag issue.

This is definitely less laggy than last night, though I think my cat is getting angry b/c I am now trying to cuddle him like you do your dog. Cats do not like this shit. Particularly not Alby cats.

for better or worse, no new line has been crossed here, for better or worse we chose this for the top half, and for better or worse they now both remind me of each other, for better or worse the woman clearly has a malpractice case, for better or worse, i haven’t exactly arranged my life so i can do that, though for better and worse it feels like three films squished together, for better or for worse I’ve always been with the guy at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, for better or worse, there’s a break in that pattern now, for better or worse, I decided that it was better to forego my own principles upon it rather than to put a lot of people who’d been promised work suddenly out of work, and, for better or worse, remain uncannily relevant decades after their birth, for better or worse, the meat consumption is on the rise in china’s growing economy and they harvested as much corn as north america last year, and it was a reminder that, for better or worse, I never catch on to mystery plots, for better or worse, but I think for better, probably the cleanest cup of coffee (for better or worse, sometimes i want a little sludge tbh), so that’s another way in which for better or worse these sorts of practices make it effectively appear like there is “more” money than otherwise, for better or for worse - but I’d say for the better, pretty sure my reckoning will be, for better or worse, infinitely more mundane, or a new creature to be changed for the better or for the worse, or transformed into another species, especially because, for better or worse, it takes off the pressure of talking about myself, what you choose to do with that knowledge, for better or worse, is up to you, (without exploding in the end, for better or worse), not an appellate judge/litigator, though (for better or worse), (not every college station has a lawyer as a GM, but we do, for better or worse), i’m from here for better or worse, firms like this are actually the real backbone of the profession for better or worse, but I guess that doesn’t necessarily suit the current tone of the show, for better or worse, say what you will about them, they always went for it, for better & worse, that’s the first time Don catches up with the world, for better or worse, life seems really hard these days even though it’s no better or worse, he makes you work for it, for better or worse, i don’t know if that’s supposed to make me feel better or worse, that was one of the moments that made the new one feel a bit more contemporary, for better or worse, it also gives people a very linkable, stand-alone platform for scrutiny, for better or worse, and that’s now very much his thing, for better or worse, it’s just kinda the center of the industry for better or worse, you know what you’re getting when you vote for him, for better or for worse, i stopped reading, for better or worse, I might have to have the conversation anyway but I’m pretty direct with neighbors about that kind of stuff, for better or worse, they seem to belong in that universe for better or worse, felt very ‘honest’, for better or worse, then they become normal dudes who don’t even remember the people they pushed into lockers for better or for worse, and hearing those words cracking open a way of life, for better or worse, we’re just calling it like we see it, for better or worse, I’ve been making a big effort to drink my stash (for better or for worse), back at work today, for better or worse, I feel like I am defined relationally, for better or worse, you can tell she’s untrained, for better or worse, seven more seasons, for better or worse, which I think is the rule for better or worse, finding out the truth was totally different from the reputation (for better and worse), people were so open back then, for better or worse, which is perhaps to say it isn’t philosophical, (for better or worse), if that makes sense.

i keep making slow progress in learning the ways of cinema4d. at one point i knew how to define a path for a camera to follow while focusing on a particular target, and then i completely forgot how to do everything and had to start from square one again. i think i got the hang of it again though, and i finally learned how to add looping videos that sync up with everything else:

sorry for the barrage of messages on this, for those that follow me on facebook/instagram/twitter. i've set up new dedicated accounts on each of those platforms for my gifs.
Twitter: @ZachScott_gifInstagram: https://www.facebook.com/Zach-Scottgif-1132985923460005 (classic URL, facepalm)
for various reasons i've always had a very inconsistent approach with posting my images on those platforms - i feel shy about subjecting other people to my work, knowing that many of them are family/co-workers/acquaintances etc that don't know anything about my secret gif life, and that many of them just are not going to be into it at all. so it's always been a bit agonizing to post a new gif in those places, Facebook especially, knowing that's not what they "friended" me for. (i don't feel the same way about this thread, incidentally, because at least once you've clicked it a few times you know what you're getting to and it's easy to avoid afterward).
i'm hoping that people will be interested in checking out the instagram account, though, because i'll be posting much higher quality versions of my images there. where gifs have to be 256 colors or less, and usually 2MB or less in order to post on tumblr and other places, on instagram i'll be posting high resolution video versions of the same images, sometimes with many more frames included per loop. as an example, here's a new gif for today:
http://68.media.tumblr.com/a16807c9dde08dbf78aa4f458fb73b67/tumblr_ofwa5swNNj1qdmmiqo4_500.gif
if you have the time, compare that to the video version i posted here: https://www.instagram.com/zachscott.gif/

ideally they'd all start up at the same time, in sync, and then gradually phase with each other only to realign...a long time in the future. unfortunately browsers don't load a set of 9 gifs simultaneously, so they won't start out in sync in the first place. it's odd though, sometimes browsers will load up a set of 2 or 3, or even 4 or 5 gifs and start them at the same exact moment, while loading up the remaining gifs and starting them a bit later. also, sometimes if you load up all 9 of the images (so they're in your cache) and then hit refresh, then the refreshed page will start them all up at the same instant. pretty cool

I apologize in advance for bringing down your thread, but you've brought up something and I don't know where else to discuss it:
http://i.imgur.com/8IE547p.jpg
So let me get this straight - every 16 minutes someone dies of suicide and every 17 minutes someone is left to make sense of it.
That means
every 32 minutes two people have died of suicide and every 34 minutes, there are two people left to make sense of itevery 48 minutes three people have died of suicide and every 51 minutes, there are three people left to make sense of itevery 64 minutes four people have died of suicide and every 68 minutes, there are four people left to make sense of itevery 80 minutes five people have died of suicide and every 85 minutes, there are five people left to make sense of itevery 96 minutes six people have died of suicide and every 102 minutes, there are six people left to make sense of itevery 112 minutes seven people have died of suicide and every 119 minutes, there seven two people left to make sense of itevery 128 minutes eight people have died of suicide and every 136 minutes, there are eight people left to make sense of itevery 144 minutes nine people have died of suicide and every 153 minutes, there are nine people left to make sense of itevery 160 minutes ten people have died of suicide and every 170 minutes, there are ten people left to make sense of it So by the time the day concludes at 1,440 minutes, we've got 90 people who have died of suicide, but only 84 people who are left to make sense of it. That means six people die of suicide every day with no one left behind to give a fuck.
I dunno, seems like a weird factoid to promote. Bet I know why those half-dozen people got to that point in the first place!

i have felt so blah this week, like it's been a struggle to mail one letter, in a normal envelope, with a full pack of 20 stamps in the closet. all i have to do is write the address and slip a gift card in there, not even a letter to go along with it, and yet no. it's not that i couldn't do it, i couldn't even get started.feelin' better today though, and happy to report that the envelope is ready to be mailed and will almost certainly not be rejected by the postal service. now i just have to get to a mailbox. i might need to make camp somewhere along the way. i better do this some other day.

i used really crappy morphing software (morpheus photo morpher) to do that last one, as well as some from a few weeks ago. i'm starting to get the hang of it but still haven't been able to figure out how to do really basic things with key frames. i want to have it morph from Stage A to Stage B to Stage C and back to Stage A again, but so far, I can only get it to automatically morph from A to B and back to A again.

lbi - it's this awesome place out in the middle of nowhere on a bunch of property! 2-3 weeks to make art, and then exhibition opportunities at local galleries for the year afterward. it's aimed at emerging artists trying to make "experimental projects" so i'm hoping they'll give me a chance. anyway, i know i should take a lesson from you and others by not saying anything it until after i get accepted somewhere (if i ever do), but i couldn't help but mention it just because i've been working hard just to get myself in the position to apply for this kind of a thing for a long, long time.

Zach no way, no lessons to be learned from keeping this to yourself. It's a great opportunity and like you say, you've worked your butt off to get in this position in the first place. Not saying that's not deserving of a reward - because you deserve this position damnit - but you can be proud already. Fuck modesty!
(True story: I actually dreamt you had an exhibition in a big museum, a while ago. Your gifs were displayed and repeating in frames the museum used to use for Rothko's and Rembrandt's etc, but for your expo they had simply cut the canvases out of the frames to be replaced by your gifs. It looked fantastic! Both big and tiny frames: all the paintings were cut out and showed your gifs. I was with you before opening day, you were hanging the frames up straight and getting the gifs in proper, and I was writing an advance piece about it for some newspaper. You were extremely nice and gracious in your approach, telling staff how exactly you wanted your gifs to be presented, but encouraging them when they didn't do it they way you wanted it. I was writing my ass off with observations like these and wanted to ask you more more more about it all but got distracted by a woman, who'd rather drink tea in the sodden museum shop with me.)

zs what software are you using for the stairs/waterfall video mapping ?
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 13:09 (seven years ago) link
I used MadMapper. There's a free demo which is almost full-functionality (it just adds a watermark to everything). The FAQ/support online is pretty poor, but luckily it's a pretty intuitive piece of software. for my purposes, it worked extremely well and was very very user-friendly, simple to use.
a lot of people sync it up to other pieces of software like Modul8 so that they can play around with projections in real-time ( i guess for the purposes of DJing and stuff?). i haven't used Modul8 but I think it's a kind of MIDI controller? i could be way off on that. anyway, i get the feeling that madmapper can do a bunch more than what i did with it, but i didn't have the extra software/hardware to take advantage of it at the time.

oh man, that would be so much fun. i have thought about it before but it's one of those things where you'd have to be a part of show or be asked to do it otherwise. columbia, mo has an awesome film festival (T/F) with a public art component. a few of my friends suggested i should apply for it next year, so i'm thinking that would be a good opportunity to try to do some sort of large outside projection.
it's really easy to do, technically! not to shill for madmapper but you could align a projection to a building like that in just a minute or two, and mask out the windows (or project something different on only the windows) in another 5 minutes or so. the fun part would be deciding how to morph the building.

What music were you playing for this daunting yet exciting task?
― On Some Faraday Beach (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 11 May 2017 00:11 (six years ago) link
it's a new 60-minute version of an old chance-based song i recorded in 2013, not long after i learned about cage and morton feltman and wanted to be a copycat. each page will take me a little under an hour to complete, and i wanted to use original music since i think twitch goes through everyone's old videos and mutes the audio whenever it's copyrighted.
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 11 May 2017 00:33 (six years ago) link
It's great, and fits the introspective character of your endeavor perfectly imho. Funny that you made it in 2013, because by some coincidental cross ilx reading, I saw you really dig the new Alice Coltrane comp - same here - and thought that was what got you in the mood to make this music. The meditative nature of it really reminded me of that.
― On Some Faraday Beach (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 11 May 2017 10:33 (six years ago) link
oh, thank you, that's great! i love alice coltrane, and i'm so glad in some ways that i didn't learn about her ashram recordings until relatively recently, because they're like finding a mountain on top of a mountain.
the original 8-minute version is here: https://soundcloud.com/weinventyou/indeterminate - i might end up switching back to that version at some point because it's probably more suitably meditative to match the project!
i hope i can make it all the way through this book. it's going to take a while. although, even if i die of old age halfway through the process, at least the book would survive and some asshole teenager in the early 22nd century might stumble upon it in the ruins, see the first 1/3 of the pages meticulously dotted with Wite-Out, and be weirded out for a moment before beaming herself back up into whatever bizarre universe exists at the time. that would make it all worth it.
on to pg 2 i go. and possibly even pg 3. big day!
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 11 May 2017 16:52 (six years ago) link
Thanks for the original version, I love it. And you've got the right attitude towards this imho. If you can ditch the 'have to finish it' urge you're on the right path. Terrible cliche but it's about the journey not the destination. It's about sitting down and finding peace of mind to do this. I wonder where your thoughts wander when doing this. And admire it for the zen-like exercise that it is. It should not be about any more than that (though admittedly, the asshole teenager finding would be a bonus).

i know this doesn't look like much but i'm really excited about it:
http://i.imgur.com/fFRgMuM.jpg
this is a quick mockup for a projection. it's hard to explain but it'll be sort of like the staircase waterfall projection from a few months back, where there's an ideal viewing angle where everything appears in perspective. the twist with this one is that there will be an outer surface of wood (which the black "rug" and beams are painted onto) to mess with the perspective a bit more. then i'm going to rip off the lightning field and place it in a position where the sunset will change the way it looks throughout the day and by night leave it as just these glowing beams in the room, lighting up the wooden outer surface of it a bit as well. or at least i think that's how it will go at this point. i'm pretty excited try it out. i've been working on a bunch of long-term things recently, but this should be a pretty quick thing to make assuming i can roll my sad ass out the door and pick up the materials

silly epilogue to my whiny boing boing image attribution issue upthread: they just used it as the header image again http://boingboing.net/2017/05/31/fake-news-is-the-enemy.html
i don't even care, i'm glad they like it. it would just be so nice to get an image credit, even though they don't do that (and even though they claim that they usually do, when they never do for anyone)
ok, i guess i do sorta care, lamely. to overshare, i made the switch to doing this shit full time a few months ago and i can't get a commission, a residency, a reply to any email, nothing, just failure after failure as my bank account runs out and i start to wonder if i've actually really truly lost it, if i need help, is this normal behavior, etc. relatives who know about it don't even bring it up because they know it's going to be a fucking awful conversation. these boing boing kind of events are forgettable in isolation but they keep piling up everywhere, these near misses, constantly. like a few hours ago i posted the stupid fidgetspinner guy on my facebook page and for once, some massive facebook group i've never heard of ("space junkies - PAGE") with over 200,000 followers picked up on it and shared it on their own page and lots of those people are resharing it...but they scrubbed my name and link to my facebook page off of it, so clicking the link only takes you to the direct giphy .gif file, with no attribution. it happens frequently enough that you can't even blame the people doing it, it's just how the internet is, everything gets anonymized and you get used to noticing that someone reposted your image on a different platform 3 years later with the description "thanks internet". i'm not even trying to make a fair living off of this, i am trying desperately to scrape by a sub-sub-poverty level of compensation for all this and i'm not even coming close. fuuuuuuuuck.
sorry, had to vent. i'm just really struggling right now, trying to make my "job" line up to any degree whatsoever with my personal interests. i'm not even hoping for good things, just barely acceptable, anything
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 31 May 2017 22:08 (six years ago) link

Just seen this - brave move, ZS! I think trying to make money online is probably pointless, but yeah, exhibitions and commissions might do something for you if you can sell yourself somehow. Is there any equivalent to Arts Council funding in the US?
― emil.y, Saturday, 3 June 2017 19:16 (six years ago) link
Also, if I ever had any money I would totally commission you to do a gif-based music video.
I'm bummed and sadly not surprised to hear how tough it is to make anything resembling a living making the kind of work you do. The art world and the internet are both pretty brutal markets that too often undervalue the good stuff and reward pablum. My girlfriend sometimes does freelance illustration work (thankfully she has a decent dayjob that allows her to not have to rely on her art but enough free time to have a steady practice) and sending constant cease and desist emails definitely takes an emotional toll on her. She has one piece that has been blatantly ripped off for profit so many times that she just avoids looking in that corner of the internet because it wreaks havoc on her stomach. For whatever it's worth, your difficulties have nothing to do with the quality of your work (which is fucking first class, imo) but everything to do with capitalism being the absolute worst.

thank you. you all are really kind and supportive and i take that for granted way too often. i had kind of a clear moment the other day and realized that i am depressed again and have been for quite a while, and that while i used to be able to append the "functional-" prefix to most of my issues, the sadness and just the weight of being awake has started to overwhelm the ability that i once had to cope and push through it. have about 5 larger projects going and have spent tons of time thinking and working on them all, but i have been unable to make myself finish any of them. there is this big gap between what i know i should do vs what i can make myself do. so, i think a lot of my issues and complaining and general dread of living for the last several months have grown from the same rotten root. i'm going to try to work on it.
tomboto i have to admit i've thought about it before but other than my fear of being one of those patreon accounts with 3 supporters that quietly ends with an apology note after 70 days, i would also want to have something really cool and unique that i could offer to supporters that they couldn't get elsewhere, and i don't know what that is. but also it's just all too plausible to imagine that the only people that would chip in would be my sister and really nice people on ilx, whereas i would actually love to only take money from strangers and do things for friends for free, always. there's some weird hybrid of puritanical self-reliance bullshit in my brain's situation room that makes me turn away from taking physical compensation from friends or family, like it feels painful even though it should just feel supportive. again, like that cognitive gap i mentioned above, i know the thought is wrong and why, but i can't make myself stop believing in it.

ha!! that is really funny, thanks for sharing that. hope i never freaked you the fuck out! and MatthewK, that is a good argument. i will think about it. my sense is that successful patreons are usually tied to some sort of specific kind of project or outcome, or at least a nice reward for a certain subscription level. whereas right i'm usually working on a hodgepodge of barely related things - a projection installation, GIFs, a weirdass video short, this motion sensor/raspberry pi/video loop thing i spent forever working on and then haven't touched for weeks, painting every goddamn zero in a book of random of digits. i'd like to think that it would work but i think the only uniting theme in the last few dozen things i've pursued is that at one time or another i've thought "see, the cool thing about this is that it's the complete opposite of what you would expect to succeed!", and the strategy seems to work as well as hitting on 19 does in blackjack. i'd like to be able to do something special and unique for someone who is willing to chip in. maybe i could turn back time to ILX 2008 and offer to make gifs out of people's photos or something?
at any rate, thank you all for picking me up a little bit here and sorry for continuous oversharing and bleakness. i'm gonna try to think of the possibilities here instead of obsessing over all the reasons it won't work.

i've been on a raft in a river since last friday (on purpose, i feel i should add), so just seeing these really supportive messages. thank you! it was an old school high school friends kind of trip and it quickly became apparent that almost all of us are in some sort of crisis mode. we are all there for each other, but also not 100% there because we're dealing with our own shit. comforting and terrifying all the same.
if i could make any sort of money off of roku screensavers that would be a hilarious and amazing turn of events. i'll see if there's any sort of open submission process. on the patreon thing i've decided that i'd only feel comfortable with it if i had some sort of larger scale project i was working towards. in the optimistic version of the future a few years from now i'd be in the midst of a longer narrative video (like evil guide dog but not at all like evil guide dog i guess), like 20% done, and launching the patreon/kickstarter whatever thing would be a way to get support to get the other 80% done. or something like that. but right now i don't really have anything like that in the works. floating out there on the river, like the graduate in the pool, or like the sad guy in ferris bueller in the pool, 18-24 beers deep, i realized i really need to figure out what that larger scale project is and just start working on it. i mean, duh, but sometimes this kind of shit takes me years to work out. better late than never, i guess. anyway thank you for the support as always and i plan on bumbling my way toward the light or wahtever

I wonder if some kind of home internet-connected (or Sd-card?) projector installation could be a thing. When I saw Eno's 77 Million Paintings I was like, "fuck yeah, I'd dedicate a room in my house to this."

the CPU part of it would be pretty easy, i think - it would be pretty easy to set up a raspberry pi device to send video to a projector. or there are projectors that just have storage included, like you're saying. the tricky part would be semi-permanently installing a projector and/or objects in a room. it's one thing if it's just playing a video on a blank wall, so that if it's jostled a bit it doesn't really affect things too much. but when you project onto actual objects, moving anything by even a small amount can really mess things up. in my only IRL exhibition success story i was lucky to have a team of pros on hand that just handled everything with the rigging of the projector so that it was solid as a rock. but in my own living room experiments my projector is typically balanced on a pile of magazines in the most precarious fashion imaginable. i'd love to get better at the installation process of all this but i need to find an affordable studio space first.

originally it was going to be the first gif in an epic series, but after spending like 20 hours on the first one alone, i abandoned the idea. so instead, here's my rough draft of what would have happened and you just have to use your imagination on what it might have looked like (better that way than if i actually done it, trust me)
1 the last coffee crawls and spills drops as it goes (see GIF above)
2 and 3 the last coffee continues to wander slowly, becoming a little bit more empty with each successive GIF. reveal title: “The Last Coffee"
4 coffee finds a sink drain and contemplates about the meaning of the drain
5 coffee begins to pour its final drops down the drain. title changes to “THE LOST COFFEE"
6 a dripping sound in the distance makes coffee stand up
7 pursues the source of the dripping noise
8 the coffee meets the coffeemaker
9 close up of coffee dripping into the carafe
10 close up of coffee man. his world will never be the same
11 the last coffee gets a refill
12 the coffeemaker begins to fill up another cup of coffee.
13 the so-called last coffee witnesses the birth of another coffee. again, his mind is blown 14 several more coffees are born
15 the new community of coffee emerges. title changes to “THE LAST OF THE COFFEEs"
16 co-mingling of coffees, garden of eden style perfection and joy and innocence
17 a human suddenly appears and grabs a coffee
18 human blows to cool it down
19 close up of extreme terror on coffee's face
20 chugging it down, coffee upside down, legs kicking frantically in air

Do you have rates, like a flatrate for individual people and an hourly rate for businesses? Or are you figuring it out on the go?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 16 August 2017 17:43 (six years ago) link
honestly i get seldom get any offers to do anything so i haven't really established a set rate. some of the companies i've worked with have offered me a certain rate up front. others have asked me what what my rate is, and i make a guess of how long it will take me and try to offer a fair rate that reflects my beginner-hood but also compensates me fairly. so basically, figuring it out on the go. :)
at this point though i'm kind of desperate for anything. a couple years i made an ethical stand on a shoe company because they wanted me to sign my name on the GIF and personally endorse the shoe, and i didn't want to do that, so i backed out of the project. if they would ask me to do that now i would wear the shoe irl and sign my name 34 times all over the GIF and write "I LOVE THIS SHOE COMPANY" all over it

i've been working on a 25-gif "sticker pack" for giphy the last few weeks. the deadline is tight and the file restrictions have been challenging - keep it 500kb or less with dimensions of 618x618. normally i work with 490x490 and end up at around 2MB, so to cut down on the file size i've had to limit myself to 6 to 8 frame animations rather than the two or three dozen i usually end up with. on top of that, they're "stickers", which means they need to be transparent so they can be plastered into text messages (and on top of texts and images, depending on the messaging app you use). i rarely make transparent gifs, and quickly realized that i couldn't use any anti-aliasing, which i almost always use. anti-aliasing creates blended, "soft" semi-opaque pixels on edges so that it looks more realistic. but transparent gifs don't work well with anti-aliasing because they render the half-transparent pixels as either 0% or 100% transparency, which creates the really ugly blocks around the edges of some transparent GIFs.
anyway, since all of this flies in the face of what i've been making the last year or two, i revisited some of my older gifs (2011/12) that i made back when Tumblr had more restrictive file size limits for GIFs (it used to be 1MB! now it's ~3MB (some day it'll be hilarious to cite these numbers in the same way that we laugh at hardware capabilities from the 1960s). the old tumblr restrictions were kind of nice because they forced everyone to be more efficient. or actually, i think mainly people just ended up using lots of frames but downgrading the quality to absolute garbage level to get it under 1MB. but either way, i ran across an old 6 frame thing i did and reworked it a bit. this isn't the version that'll go into the sticker pack, but i like this one too:

i finished the 25-GIF sticker pack, so if you're the kind of person who likes to use gifs in text messages you can check it out! you can find it on basically anything that uses giphy (facebook, iMessage, apps, etc) by searching for either #zachscott or #weinventyou. they're transparent, and if you have iMessage set up you can even plop them onto previous text messages and images that you've sent. it's kind of wild! they're supposed to be compiled into an official "pack" soon, which should hopefully make it easier to share to people. it's kind of weird to tell people you did something and then direct them to find it using hashtags. anyway, there were some big limitations in the requirements (which i rambled about above), but here are a few that i liked:

currently they're all collected at the top of this page: https://giphy.com/weinventyou/ , but they'll slide down the page as i add more gifs in the future.they look kind of crazy there because transparent images usually do, unless they're on a lighter background like in a text.
apparently Line (the Japanese messaging app) makes upwards of $250 million a YEAR on these kinds of stickers. so maybe after this last batch gets collected into more of an official pack (should be any time, i'm told?), i can reach out to Line to see if they'll pay me for some more.

i'm not sure that he ever directly states that we're about to cross out of the uncanny valley, but i'm not sure that i agree. i have a really harebrained set of reasons why i think that's so, but maybe i'll see if i can revive your uncanny valley thread to elaborate because i'm sure 99% of ILX has learned not to click on this thread
sort of on the same topic, but i'm interested in making stuff that reflects back the uncanny valley effect, but using real life objects, sort of like this:

my instinct earlier was that the far end of the uncanny valley is still quite a bit away. but i don't know, then i asked my partner what she thought, and she thought it was within sight, that there are already examples of digital creations that already fool us. and then i remembered peter cushing's character in star wars rogue one - i had no idea he was just CGI until long after i saw the movie. so in a sense, it already passed a form of the AI test. that would have been unthinkable 15 years ago, without some sort of camera trickery (like using a silhouette or having the character underwater or something). but rogue one showed peter cushing's character close-up, in good lighting, and with lines of dialogue. so the fact that it's been done suggests that other AI efforts will also soon fool the human eye. and that's just the characters - environmental effects often fool the eye as well.
so maybe he's right.

man, sorry for bringing this noisy issue up on multiple social platforms in a single day, but i have spent all day struggling with encoding/compression settings for a video. the GIFs above have a really low frame rate and quality - the actual video moves much faster and more crisply and i was excited to share it! i spent all night working on it.
but it turns out that while i can render a crisp, HD 1080p .mp4 that looks great on my computer, the same video looks like absolute garbage on instagram, twitter, and facebook. it even looks terrible on Vimeo, where I uploaded a 200 MB 1080p version.
https://i.imgur.com/D7pxHMQ.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/uwvjyUN.png
The top image is a screenshot of what the real video looks like when I play it off of my desktop. the second is a screenshot of how the same 1080p video looks on Vimeo at top quality playback. it's crazy! i'm thinking the issue is that the different platforms probably use some form of auto-noise reduction in their compressors, so even if you upload the highest quality noise it just makes it even easier for it to noise-reduce. but i have nooooo fucking clue what i'm talking about. if anyone else knows and could school me i'd really appreciate it.
anyway, i have learned my lesson, which is not to bother working with noise (possibly a psychologically healthy thing anyway)!
― Karl Malone, Friday, 15 December 2017 22:57 (six years ago) link
It seems like any sharing platform will fuck up your shit. Just upload your full rez MP4 somewhere and put it in a video tag on a web page and call it KarlTube.

tbh i think it would be a really neat thing to try to instead use the extreme noise footage in a VR setting. i have no idea how hard it would be to do, though, and it might make people barf
― Karl Malone, Friday, 15 December 2017 23:03 (six years ago) link
it would be a video compression issue, not a noise reduction thing. similar to your classic jpeg artifacting

― micah, Saturday, 16 December 2017 02:13 (six years ago) link
i actually didn't mind him at all, i thought it was a good video! i know compression is the culprit, but the degradation is especially bad with noise content. i understand that when there are practically zero pixels on the screen that stay the same from frame to frame (as with HQ noize), it makes the compressor go bonkers.
there's a similar situation with color gradients, i think. it's barely detectable to the human eye, but if you create a really fine gradient that barely changes hue from pixel to pixel, and then gradually change it to a different gradient over time, there's often some noticeable artificating that happens regardless of the bitrate quality. but where gradient compression is often a bit noticeable but tolerable, with noise it's just completely unwatchable (imo), like everything that's interesting about the noise just gets obliterated.
thanks again for sharing that, micah!

i killed off weinventyou.net in late January, which was really dumb. i had kind of a freakout and just hit delete. i didn't archive anything. about 2.5 days later i felt intense regret, but the good news is that it really motivated me to rethink my portfolio and how i'm presenting what i'm doing. and also, i had old .psd files of most of my GIFs on an external hard drive, albeit chaotically organized. anyway, i finally am ready to share my new website/home base:

the 1000 or so gifs on weinventyou have been narrowed down to about 25, and i've dedicated space to the installation-based stuff i've really been focused on lately. please check it out if you get a moment!

beware: when you post GIFs on twitter, it converts them to a video format and then introduces a laggy pause before each repetition of the frames, thus destroying the smooth quality that GIFs are supposed to have. twitter pretends to be a supporter of GIFs, but it's a cruel façade!
i usually upload images to imgur, which has an absolutely awful community (they're corporately bonded with Reddit, now), but at least they let you just upload GIFs without changing them to a different file format. here's what your GIF looks like there (i assumed that each frame (6 frames, each .1 seconds, I'm guessing?):

xp i'm really interested in using Processing with GIFs, but in a sort of different way. a long time ago i did a workshop on Arduiono/Processing and made a little device that adjusted the framerate of the GIF with a slider. the idea back then was to then replace the slider with some sort of interactive sensor-based thing so that looping images would speed up or slow down based on what in the room did. but my arduino crapped out on me soon afterward, i forgot about Processing as i got distracted with whatever shit seemed important that day, and now i don't know how any of it worked. this is a pattern!

but honestly, i already have a piece of software (madmapper) which pretty much does the same thing (although it requires you to leave your laptop up and running beside the projector, which is annoying). my main problem hasn't been with not having the hardware/tech, it's been my lack of motivation. the last several months has been starting antidepressants and getting back into the working world, and that's been pretty much 95% of my waking life. but i've been relatively happier, too, so i'm not complaining too much. dunno - things have been weird

honestly it doesn't really matter. i got the original trump image from someone else's work and then modified it to my own ends. i didn't provide credit to the original photographer because there were a billion images of trump looking like a psychotic asshole and i just picked one. that's what boingboing is doing now. there are a billion modified images of trump looking like a psychotic asshole, and they just picked mine.

i've been trying to learn how to paint. i am not very good at drawing and have a shaky hand and no idea how to mix colors together. i love it. my favorite thing about life, i think, is the very first stage of learning new things, when every time you come back you learn something fundamental, or you mess up in a spectacular but educational way. i used to like the beginning of this thread, back past 2010 now, yonder, an age from which every single digital image link on earth has now broken, because among the first few gifs were a few pixels of flat brown poop flying into tom cruise's chomping mouth. it was kind of south park level of animation, but i remember being exhilarated at what i had learned, that i had pulled it off so that the mouth would just keep on chompin' on that shit! forever! learning to paint has been fun in a similar way so far, sorta.
i'm using a beginners set of acrylics, and so far i've been using a little 9"x12" drawing pad thing. they curl up on the edges, and i had a complete debacle with them with the one i just finished. i think i will upgrade to a real canvas soon.
i'm up to four paintings now, although i think i've now abandoned the 3rd one. the first one is pretty bad, but if you got through that paragraph above then you know what i mean when i say it's my tom cruise eating shit painting, and i remember feeling really happy and positive about it when i finished it. the second, third, and fourth all went through a similar process: they started with a decent underpainting, then looked ok for a minute as i added on, and then i kept going way too long and made them worse (or ruined them completely). in chronological order with wiseass comments insults:
https://i.imgur.com/0rNoYFP.jpg0amphey, i know what will be a good subject for a first attempt at acrylics - a really intricate pattern from the front of an amp! also, for the first and not the last time, i ruined a decent background at the last moment by tossing brown paint on it look like a shit-spattered toilet, for no reason.
https://i.imgur.com/2ImmCVz.jpg1refwe moved recently to an apartment with better lighting, and we've been using all of our disposable income (negative $45 a week) on plants. this one is a euphorbia, which is kind of like saying "this one is a plant". not very descriptive. some experts would say it has "cactus-like features"
https://i.imgur.com/FZ9U2QM.jpg1underpaintingthis is the first time i made an underpainting and then sketched an outline on top of that. on the amp one, i sketched something out in pencil and then did the underpainting, which completely covered up the sketch. learning from the past for the first time in several months, this time around i did the underpainting and THEN sketched something out. hey man, gotta put your socks on before your pants, or whatever.
https://i.imgur.com/wLu4Ig0.jpg1shouldhavestoppedherei like the colors on this one, despite them not at all resembling the colors i was intending to make on my palette. i remain catastrophically inept at mixing colors. anyway, i lucked out with some good accidental colors on this one. but then i was unhappy the little black dots near the wall corner so i kept going
https://i.imgur.com/BRGnDhC.jpg1toodonei feel like the black spot in the corner is the equivalent of the bad tattoo that gets converted into a solid filled geometric shape.

https://i.imgur.com/60LnnLm.jpg3showerplants_refi thought i'd get experimental and i fucked everything up, a true story. the idea was to take two pictures of the plants on our shower wall, from two different angles, then overlay them. in the image above, the arrows connect the two different versions of each plant, one from each angle. without the arrows, it is really confusing to figure out which plants are which, and i thought that was really funny for some reason.
https://i.imgur.com/Rniki1S.jpg3underpaintingeverything started out fine. the colors, as usual, were completely off. i wanted a much lighter shade for the wall, but i was lazy and just went with what i had, hoping it would be lighter when it dried. nope! so at this point i tried to embrace the idea of a hellish version of the shower plants. you're in hell, ahahahaha! and there are plants in the shower, which is red! aaaahahaaaaaaaa
https://i.imgur.com/PlELYer.jpg3maskingfirst time i tried to use masking tape for its intended purpose. my thought was to make the cracks in the tiles by painting black shadows which were exactly straight/flat on one side, and then doing overlaying white highlights with a straight edge.
https://i.imgur.com/YI3MPSW.jpg3inprogressnow i look back at this and think it wasn't awful, but at the time i felt i had to fix it.
https://i.imgur.com/gLXsIlh.jpg3abandonedagain, i was struck by the urge to fling brown shit paint all over things?! at the time i remember that my intention was to make shadows, or at least lighter and darker areas. but i have now learned that uh, you don't do that by taking brown shit paint and slapping it on there willy nilly. i've never used watercolors (at least not since little kid times), but i think that it might be more possible to do "overlay" shadows with them. but acrylics? no. after studying the color wheel a little bit later on, i realized that shadows are just, you know, different shades of other colors, rather than a partly transparent black overlay. that all sounds very college bong rip guy, i know, but i've been making shadows digitally for so long that i kind of forgot their basic relationship to the subject. i also sketched in some plants (from the ref above), and it's obvious i made the colors during a very different time, because the colors for the plant pots are completely different and have no relationship to the background. at this point i decided that i should never try, ever again
https://i.imgur.com/8I3MMs3.jpg4refbut then a few nights ago i looked at the doorway to our front room and thought it would make a good subject for a much simpler painting. obviously i way overdid it on the the shower plants thing. btw, that shower plants thing took many hours! holy shit i spent a lot of time on it! in contrast, drawing and painting this doorway was all done in a single night, a PR.
https://i.imgur.com/tmZBueb.jpg4sketch
trying to keep it simple and also not worry about little mistakes in the sketch. also let's face it, showing off those orchids
https://i.imgur.com/QqcNYns.jpg4doorwaythis was a masking tape disaster but i decided to just roll with it. when i peeled some of the tape strips off, the paper came up as well. you can see it clearly on the left side of the doorway, but it happened elsewhere too. but i kind of like it! after 3 of these mini-disasters in a row, each ending with a "well....maybe?" i decided it was done

if anyone wants that last painting just let me know and i'll mail it to you. my only demand is that you "buy" my new hit single for free. i used an earlier stage of the painting as the digital artwork for it, so it's a promotional bullshit thing. then i'll mail it to you! along with a $5 bill. i will also just give you $5. i just now decided to throw that in

Hey, Zach, that single is great! As a feelies fan, I think it compares favourably. Will listen repeatedly.

:) that's very nice, thank you DJI. i definitely do not feeling inspiring right now - honestly i feel like i am just falling down the stairs, metaphorically. i feel like i'm trying to hard and just spinning my wheels, for so long. but my backup plan is to try to be transparent about the process, the development of small things that at least kind of worked, and the constant failures along the way, just because i like when other people share those things.

hi Karl, image hosting related question here. hope you don't mind me posting it in yr thread. seems imgur now requires a phone number to create an account. i don't like that. what are my alternatives ? how does this look to you:
https://vgy.me/
― budo jeru, Tuesday, 5 May 2020 22:17 (three years ago) link
of course budo, it's always nice to have company on this thread! :)
i guess the answer to your question depends on what you're looking to do with the image hosting. for just posting images and getting a link to share them online (like this thread), i'm pretty sure you don't need an account with imgur. you can just do it as a rando person, not signed in. the account is more for "community" (the imgur comment community is among the worst on the internet) and for keeping track of old images you uploaded. but if you just want to quickly upload an image and share it, you can do that without logging in.
if you're looking for a more professional/advanced option, i think options like Flickr are still pretty popular, but i definitely don't know much about that side of things. i'm a longtime down-and-dirty imgur uploader
― let me be your friend on the other end! (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 5 May 2020 22:43 (three years ago) link
xp to tangenttangent thank you! i like that idea a lot too! i will probably give it a shot sometime (in a limited, 'let's give it a shot' fashion) soon.
it's an interesting thing to think about, in terms of what kinds of painted shapes and lines offer more creative flexibility on the animation side. generally, clean crisp lines with highly contrasted foreground/background elements are easier to animate. but the nice thing about photoshop and other apps is that if you want to spend enough time, you can deal with pretty much whatever. but if i knew ahead of time that i would be animating it, i could choose subject matter that would make my life easier. could be fun!

commodity VPS hosting is also super cheap now and guides to configuring a webserver on them abound, so like, there's always hosting it yourself. You might keep paying for hosting longer than imgur does for all you know! xxp

― silby, Tuesday, 5 May 2020 22:49 (three years ago) link
haha, no that sounds legit! i think it all depends on what you want to do with the images.
personally, for anything that is shared online, i just use a simple easy host (imgur) with the understanding that like any other company on the internet, it'll probably be bought out by some group of jerks and ruined, then shut down. i always keep the originals on my own hard drive - well, NOW i do, after the tinypic disaster of whatever year that was - and figure that at some point in the next 5-10 years everything online will be broken yet again

i posted this on the 77 depresso thread (while i was nearly passing out, whoops). i need to change a few things but it's generally done. the 2 personal milestones for me on this were that it was the first thing i've painted without a reference image, and that i was able to do it just a couple hours. i definitely don't think that less time spent on something is better, in and of itself, but i had been spending waaaaaay too long on them recently, which is cool but seems ill-advised for early-stage amateur efforts. at an early stage of learning something it seems more valuable to spend that time working on different aspects of the discipline, rather than endlessly refining your 6th painting ever (or whatever)

i'm not sure why i posted that, but in the cold morning light i do like the stickman's form! i gotta remember that, next time i'm doing late-night stickmen.
i'm pretty excited about my next self-commission: a portrait of my Cyberpunk 2020 character I made last night. I'm playing Ten Ton Heat, a Fixer that also plays drums for an up-and-coming band that has a gig on a pirate radio station barge near Seattle in a couple weeks. I'm not quite sure what i look like, other than my Attractiveness level is 6 (making me the third hottest member of the band; we have a pair of identical twins from Chechnya that are incredibly hot and charismatic, with very low intelligence), and I've purchased a set of SmartGoggles with 3 CyberOptic modules: Teleoptics (20x zoom), MicroVideo Optic (I can record up to 20 minutes of video), and Infrared.
― let me be your friend on the other end! (Karl Malone), Friday, 8 May 2020 15:31 (three years ago) link
i should move that discussion to the tabletop RPG thread, but i'm also going to either paint it, sketch it up digitally, or both. i've only painted one figure before (about an inch tall on the canvas) so i'm nervous and excited to try to do a large one
― let me be your friend on the other end! (Karl Malone), Friday, 8 May 2020 15:32 (three years ago) link
we rolled most of our character's backstories and "Life Events", although we did manually adjust a few things for more fun. here's what the other crew ended up like:
Rockerboy (one of the twins, and the one that is pretty much the band's "leader", even though we're agreed that we're a group of equals, and i've demanded that we share any band income equally. he put everything into Cool and Attractiveness, and the Rockerboy Special Ability: Charismatic Leadership, which allows him to sway an audience up to his level (10) squared, x 200. which is 20,000 people! in a strange twist of random rolling luck, he has the most starting money out of all of us - $24,000 Eurodollars, compared to my $3000 and the Nomad's $1000), but he also just lost his job, so he has no more monthly income coming in. since he's the rich guy in the group, i made him buy me top of the line electronic drums ($800).)
Techie (the other hot twin, more of a multi-instrumentalist. He and the identical twin Rockerboy grew up with a family that "vanished", which is funny because my family also "vanished", separately, in Vietnam. normally the Techie will be visually distinguishable from the Rockerboy because he'll always have lots of hologram related gear on. but we've also established that if the situation demands it, the twins can truly seem identical to other people, so there will definitely be fun shenanigans.)
Nomad (the bass player. also an orphan or abandoned earlier in life. all four of us are like that, and generally we have no money (except for the Rockerboy's previous windfall of cash from his previous gig).
i'm going to work on my character portrait later this week. can't wait to get started for real!

i'm doing a lil mini-fundraiser thing tonight by selling some of my recent paintings. I'm donating whatever people are willing to pay to Chicago Community Bond Fund (CCBF), and matching the contributions.
just a head's up for anyone who may be interested. i'll be posting about it on instagram (where i know almost all of my followers) and here (where i feel like i know many of you!) in just a bit. if you're interested in getting one of the paintings, you can either email me or send me a DM on instagram.
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 2 June 2020 00:43 (three years ago) link
oh shit, CCBF has been flooded by donations! their website actually suggests sending it to other organizations who need it more right now. glad i checked that first!
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 2 June 2020 01:04 (three years ago) link
https://i.imgur.com/iVPW7RD.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/usMQev3.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/KtoJhsv.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/a6eSd9Z.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/bqkQeeK.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/shcRArK.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/3Q9cj8A.jpg
I’d like to raise some money for community bail funds, which provide money to pay off unaffordable bonds for people charged with crimes. These organizations could always use support, and never so more than at this critical moment. In Chicago, for example, police are targeting peaceful protest organizers, and 700 people were arrested on Sunday alone.
To help spur some donations from others, Blair and I are selling some recent paintings (name your price). All proceeds will go to an ActBlue fundraiser that goes toward 38 community bail funds across the country, and I’ll match your contribution as well. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bail_funds_george_floyd
Just DM me with the painting you’d like and the amount you’d like to donate, and we can work out the details (address, payment stuff).
1. Peony (by Blair and Zach)2. Seed Tray3. Swiss Cheese4. Doorway sold5. Embers6. Seabed7. New Home8. Fuck the Police (by Blair, Ink Drawing on 9”x11.5” drawing paper)
Most of these are acrylic on 9”x11.5” drawing paper. The one Blair and I painted together (Peony) is acrylic on 9”x12” canvas.
You can either send me money (via Venmo?) and I’ll donate it for you along with my donation, or you can just donate it yourself and let me know the amount so I can match it. Again, just DM me and we can work it out. :)
I guess the main Q might be “uhhh…so how much should I donate?” A: Donate as much as you’re comfortable donating. It would be great if it were at least $25 per painting, I guess? On the other end, if you want to donate a bunch (like TRIPLE DIGITS) I’m happy to match you there, at least to an extent (I’m using my $1200 coronavirus check as my donation fund, as I’ve been lucky enough to hold onto my job so far).
Let me know if you have any other Q’s and I will try to A them! Also, please, someone buy at least one of these so I don’t have to confront Total Failure. Seriously, if nothing else please do it for the people on the ground who really need financial support right now.

in this case it would be the National Lawyers Guild (https://www.nlg.org/donate/). they are amazing and have been helping not just protesters with their legal issues, but also the immigrant community, people of color, LGBTQ+, etc. we've been working with several of NLG's staff recently and they are all really inspiring people.
the problem that no one even knew existed: when i ragequit my tumblr and instagram because my dad's a racist, a few years ago, i lost a lot of "followers" that i used to have back in the day. i thought i'd eventually get them back, but i underestimated how much i lack the enthusiasm to "get myself out there" upon my stabilization from or inside of *tim rogers voiceover* DEPRESSION. why am i typing this?
the solution you thought i'd never get to: what if i bundled together all of my tumblr-era images (just downloaded them all in bulk) i could put the whole thing on a thumb drive and package it in some new cheap-ass container and send it to people in return for donating money to a NLG fundraiser page (either one that already exists, or one i set up)? i'm not sure what the price would be, but i would probably set it at name your price, minimum of my supply costs (5GB thumbdrives bought in bulk and a cheap diy case for it, cheap as possible) + shipping, so probably like $15 or $20 minimum? and probably a lot of people would pay more?
i don't think too many of the teen goths who used to follow me on tumblr are following me on twitter or instagram these days. but there might be enough to sell at least 20 or 30 of these packages, on the low end. and then on the other end, maybe some nice will respond to my PR exertions and give me a write-up, and a lot of other people will buy it too. am i just high again? what do you all think?
― Karl Malone, Monday, 8 June 2020 19:20 (three years ago) link
oh god, i just thought of copyright. i've never had a problem because "i am an artist" and i'm not making any money. the only people making money are the corporations that own the platforms and image hosting services, and no one is coming after them, lol.
but if i do sell these as a charitable fundraiser, they can't go after me either, right? although these days i usually make most of the source elements myself, during the tumblr days i frequently copied and pasted from aaaalll sorts of shit
― Karl Malone, Monday, 8 June 2020 19:22 (three years ago) link
actually, it wouldn't be a charitable donation. from nlg's website:
Gifts to the National Lawyers Guild are not tax deductible for federal income tax purposes as charitable contributions. If you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution to support the National Lawyers Guild, please donate to the National Lawyers Guild Foundation by clicking on this link.

thanks to a very generous donation from an ilxor, the matched donations beyond my own are up to $900+ now!
and thanks to another generous donation from ANOTHER ilxor, my own personal spending cap is now bumped up from $1000 to $1100. on the off chance that elon musk wants to match whatever i donate, this will be a big help, so if anyone wants to add to that, let me know!
I didn't contact National Lawyers Guild or anything, so they're probably a little freaked out about me if they see this on twitter or instagram. sorry, i mean well NLG (they read this, right)?

honestly, i think that running monster video above is the best thing i've ever made.
but the second or fourth best thing i've ever made is being featured today as part of the Exhibitionisms.club Virtual Opening today:
http://thegameoflife.website/
it was also supposed to be at the Tiger Strikes Asteroid and Space & Time galleries here in Chicago, but COVID-19 just squashed that idea. no big deal, because websites irl places are always kind of a strange experience in first place. it's home is the browser, so as long as it's safe there we're good to go.
for once i'm going to shut my trapper about this one and not try to pre-emptively overexplain it, but i hope that you'll give it a few minutes. it is the first large-scale "project" i've completed in nearly 4 years. it has been a really hard time, but i have crawled my way back and am doing better now than i have in a long time. this website is more personal than most things i share and making it has meant a lot to me. if you like it or just want to support things i'm doing, please share it with your weirdo pals
I'm so excited to finally share The Game of Life! It's being featured today as part of the https://t.co/ptUP45eU5S Virtual Opening "B", running today from 4-7pm, as well as at Tiger Strikes Asteroid and Space & Time in Chicago, and its permanent home is https://t.co/8JXa7js46x— Z_tbd (@weinventyou) November 21, 2020

at the same time, i just did a new painting that was a ripoff of egon schiele's last painting, and it came out pretty well. a friend of mine bought it for $100! it was 18x24" so i spent the whole night painting it. i got really cocky and tried a 5x5" the next day and made the worst fucking thing with colors that has ever existed! good times! the world is extremely depressing but it's heartening to know that there are always new things to work on

i also have a selling/living model that i'm trying out where i just try to meet my bare, minimal, skeletal/boney needs, just fucking barely, and then donate everything else to mutual aid and things and people that aren't fucking assholes. that's nice, but it's like "transparency" in a corporation or government: it doesn't mean shit until it actually comes to the test. but i'm trying to make like $2500 a month, total, and then everything above that is for others.

I don't have a good photo of the one I'm working on now (the 60x30") one but it could be my best one if i don't fuck it up! i want to follow up with smaller ones, though. i was talking to my studio-mate/good friend and he was saying that larger format paintings are harder to sell because they dominate a wall/space, rather than being able to fit alongside existing things in people's living spaces. it makes sense! also, the larger ones are going to be around $700 or up, because they are about ($100 supplies/materials) + (20-40 hours * living wage) + shipping. that's too expensive for me. by way too much. i don't just want to be making things that i can't afford to buy myself. so i'm going to start working on some smaller canvases to bring all those costs down.

can definitely relate to how physically therapeutic and beneficial it is to do art that you can put your whole body into. i have romanticized throwing pottery for many years based on a few spotty experiences with a wheel, and my partner just got me a gift card to a local studio to try to make it part of my self-care. very excited.

What is your insta handle km?
How are you at making your own frames, or you getting them pre-made? Boring question maybe, but it was my contribution to helping my girlfriend through art school. Idk about the other side of the pond but here if you shop around, you can get a mitre saw (for precise wood cutting at angles), a biscuit jointer (to replicate stretcher bars that fit into each other at corners) and a air powered staple gun for uncle £100, £150 at most. The cheaper newer ones are p much as good as the really expensive ones. If you are trying to do this in a cost effective way, buying only wood and canvas could be a great saver.

― Karl Malone, Thursday, 24 June 2021 17:21 (two years ago) link
i'm interested in diy stretchers at some point, but i already went a little wild a couple months ago and bought way too many at full price at blick, so i definitely need to go use those up first. there's also re-using them, which i am shockingly ignorant about and will figure out during the next 25 to 60 days
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 24 June 2021 17:24 (two years ago) link
You can carefully pull the staples out and have just the canvas, only to reapply stretched fresh canvas to prime. But often then people still want to buy it on/in a frame, so you would have to think about presentation.
I have no artistic skill whatsoever but I’ve always been good with this kind of stuff. This weekend I need to figure out how the tufting gun my gf bought off a Chinese website works, with no English instructions, so she can start making colourful rugs :/

some decent footage from my high school band's battle of the bands show finally surfaced on the internet! i played drums.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Noc0_fZcKno
not sure if that timestamp link will work or not in ilx, but our set doesn't start until 3:20 into the video, so you should skip there unless you want some more slice-of-2002-southeast-missouri-life. in the spirit of trying to keep it legitimately positive (something i've been getting better at and which helps me deal with depression), i will just say that i'm proud of how we played back then. although no one wants high school to be the peak of their lives, that was definitely an amazing time for me, the first intense creative mode i'd ever been in, all of us, figuring it out. we sold CDs for $2.50! unfortunately our CD sucked because by the time it finally came out we had written a bunch more songs that were way better than the ones we'd just recorded. Adolescence is a strange thing. you already feel yourself slowing down in some ways, relative to the supergod bonus mode of learning you have when you're a small child. but looking back, i see how completely fucking pumped i am, in that moment, fully believing that it would always be like that from then on.
feels like a fucking miracle that i eventually completely abandoned all of that wonderful feeling, completely losing it, only to get it all back now in a different way. and i still want to play drums really badly, that's not dead either
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 30 June 2021 20:57 (two years ago) link
fuck, i accidentally linked to the end of our terrible knockin on heaven's door soundcheck (the only cover). and then the first song is our worst, and then i made the biggest flub of the evening right when i counted in our first song after the intro. i sure have a way of first impressions!

― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 30 June 2021 21:00 (two years ago) link
here, i should have just fucking linked to the 4 best songs, all packed at the end of the set because we made no sense.
26:32 'Turning Generation' and 'Wailing Wall'
i named both of these songs, and I had no idea what either one went. what a fucking goy! but after wailing wall you can hear some old-timer go "i've never heard anything like that" and that might have been true for us too. we thought we were doing some really new there.
37:08 37'Quiet Type' and 'Time and Temp'
i wrote most of both of these songs, and also the little connecting interlude, and it used to be our fan-pleasing set closer routine. i think these songs were pretty good for a 18-year-old! they were our radio hit pop punk songs, and generally people would go wild for them
i don't know if this is interesting to anyone. if it is, i have lots of stories, but also, i realize that everyone is at work or school, while i just kind of go on a nostalgia trip in the afternoon

― diamonddave85 (diamonddave85), Friday, 2 July 2021 17:36 (two years ago) link
oh god, please don't! ti think there was another drummer involved, and i only practiced with them like twice. god - what is that story? i can't remember where i posted it. the honest way for me to put it was that i would have been a decent drummer for the band they quickly became afterward, but that instead i chose to try to become a blastbeat grindcore drummer overnight to fit in with their previous band's sound. but, given the title of this thread, sometimes my stories go a little haywire.
― Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Friday, 2 July 2021 18:26 (two years ago) link
actually, i didn't "decide" to play like that, come to think about it, i was asked to replicate the old drummer's parts because they were playing all the time. then i did that at an 80% proficiency level (ok more like 65%), awkward weeks passed, and then suddenly it was the new band and they were an indie rock band and the previous singer had been sacked. i'd like to think that maybe they looked upon me as an indicator of the futility of the other road
― Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Friday, 2 July 2021 18:28 (two years ago) link
anyway, xp diamonddave, i doubt the current drummer or the one before knows me at all. plus i had a falling out with that crowd when i was 21 because i got really drunk (sigh) and started yelling at everyone for being too much of a hipster and how they were fake. i thought that one might blow over but then i moved and never really talked to any of that crowd much more

thanks to silby and jaq and others, i was able to make more money than my living costs this month, and i just sent @nitaslovetrain (on instagram, also on venmo/cashapp - she rules) $1200 to cover ACs for 8 families in chicago. i'm trying to be ok with saying that out loud, because i want other people to see that and think about either donating themselves to something else, or adopting some sort of similar model for themselves. the model is that you just send any money you make beyond your living costs to other people. it's flexible - what are your living costs? even that in itself is hard to define. but whatever it is, just take that as your own starting point and change it.

thank you forks! it's still going, for better or worse! it's actually my second attempt at something, my first big commission (and largest i've made so far at 60x40"), and pretty much leeway to make anything i want but to keep the colors on the brighter side.
https://i.imgur.com/BxUnY4G.jpg
my first attempt at it is currently in the lower left. it was doing ok at first, but then accidentally made a river of blood and a very bad pickup truck. i decided to stretch another canvas at the same size and work up another potential option for the buyer. i still have a ways to go on all of them! *grimace*

$30/month health insurance sounds like some sketchy stuff. Make sure it doesn't have some insane deductible.
― DJI, Wednesday, 4 August 2021 16:44 (two years ago) link
it can't possibly be worse than my last insurance, which was blue shield blue cross. i attempted to meet my Primary Care Physician 3 different times, and failed every time because they were "nearby" in the neighborhood. some intern managed to refill my depression medication for me by cutting a deal with the PCP who was shopping somewhere, or something, and then they would only send the Rx to the pharmacy via Fax, which didn't work. so i had to drive across the city to the shitty alley doctor and transfer the Rx to my pharmacy by hand
― Read between the lines Zach (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 4 August 2021 16:47 (two years ago) link
if i would have had a job, i would have had to ask off work like 5 different times in order to get the Rx refilled. just bonkers

i ran a very interesting instagram story "poll" last night (i'm at @zach_tbd there btw).
i asked people what kind of price range they would be most interested in, if they thinking about buy something of mine. instagram is kinda dumb so i could only have 4 options (and i had to pick a "correct" answer, lol), and there was no option to select multiple options or all of the above. but it came out like this:
7 - $10-$30 (zines, tapes, small prints, etc)10 - $30-$100 (smaller works on paper; acrylic or watercolor)9 - $100-$250 (smaller acrylic/oil works on canvas)3 - $500+ (oil on larger canvases)
which was about what i was thinking it would be! personally, when i buy art, it's usually in that first or second category - rarely over $75. it's really useful to me to know the distribution, though, because i think i've been spending a bit too much time on large canvases, paintings that take me weeks and weeks and that i revise a million times. i'll still do those, but i need to pepper in more smaller, one-night paintings and drawings.
i am also going to start making prints, i think. not of paintings, though. i had a really good, long conversation with a friend of mine who adamantly against selling prints. i don't 100% agree with her, but i did come away thinking that while i would make prints of things that i make on my computer, or prints of sketches or drawings or whatever, i won't do prints of larger paintings, at least for now;

this is my first big commission that i started at my new (well, not new now) space, so i'm hoping they'll like it. but either way, it'll probably be the last of its size (40x60") because those are difficult (for me) to sell at the moment.

thanks forks! it's always weird with pastels because at any second you can just blow off all the excess chalk and powder and it completely changes everything. i took the piece of paper above and blew the biggest chunks off of it, kind of spotted in with a paper towel in some spots, and put it up on the wall. and then it's weird to decide whether or not to spray it with fixativ at that point or keep it like it to keep adding to it

i finally finished my first big commission, one i had been working on since june. and i just realized i fucked up something, at the very beginning, when i bought the canvas. i bought one brand new, first of all - that was a mistake because it's much less expensive to stretch your own. secondly, i accidentally bought a canvas that was "hand-splined", also known as "gallery wrap".
the vast majority of canvases are the normal "stretched canvases" with staples on the back. it's the default. you can easily take these canvases off the stretcher bars for shipping (rolled up in a tube, the easiest/cheapest way), and they are suitable for framing. looks something like this:
https://i.imgur.com/u65xlpc.jpg
instead, i accidentally bought a "hand-splined" canvas, which is to add insult to injury, is more expensive. this method uses a minimum of visible staples and instead the canvas is tucked down into this little gap around the stretcher bars, including a little plastic "spline" tube that goes around the perimeter. looks like this:
https://i.imgur.com/LzCUP2a.jpg
you can't really take these canvases off the stretcher bars. you, can but it's apparently a major pain in the ass. plus, the way they treat the corners (the "gallery fold) means that they made cuts to the fabric in order to get it to lay flat. this means that even if you did manage to get the canvas off the stretcher bars (for shipping or framing), it will be more difficult to re-stretch because it's missing chunks of it that were previously cut out. this is hard to explain.
in short, i finally finished this bigass painting, and now i have to tell them that it can't be framed, that the shipping is going to be really expensive, and that if they want to try to take it off the stretchers it's going to be a pain in the ass.
i just feel destroyed
― professional anti- (Karl Malone), Monday, 30 August 2021 21:24 (two years ago) link
like, i don't know whether to frame it go about it like "so this painting is actually gallery-wrapped, so no need to frame this one, and it can just go up on the wall as is!", or "so, it turns out that you can't frame this one, due to the way the canvas is wrapped around the stretcher bars (link to stretcher bars, link to gallery-wrap blog from 2015). and, oh yeah, i think i'm going to have to find a big crate to ship this to you in?"
― professional anti- (Karl Malone), Monday, 30 August 2021 21:26 (two years ago) link
i guess i could offer a discount since i fucked up, but i already spent four times (2 full months) as long on it as i had originally budgeted/planned on (2 weeks!). i have very little to sell for the upcoming month because i've spending my time on this giant piece of unframeable garbage instead :(
― professional anti- (Karl Malone), Monday, 30 August 2021 21:27 (two years ago) link
my tactic would be to contact the buyer and share all of that information directly and frankly (including how you feel about the situation) and ask how they'd like to move forward. They may not care or they may be willing to pick it up/have it dropped off at a later date.

it's just...SO much information. and in my previous communications i've made the mistake of just being WAY too much like myself, just talking way the fuck too much, too much, too much. i've been trying my best to just shut up and get to my point with them. but now i feel like i just opened up the most complicated situation, one that takes 5-10 minutes to figure out, and doesn't have a clear answer. it's not the end of the world and i'm sure it'll work out, it's just a big commission and i was really hoping they'd love the painting and tell all their friends etc. now i'm 99% sure it's going to be like a "funny story" (at best)

doing a sale on my ol' instagram (@zach_tbd) tomorrow evening!
this will be my second monthly sale (and 3rd total since last year), and i've tried to change a few things from last month. i'm only putting up 10 items, rather than 30, to start. last time i did 3 instagram posts with 10 pictures in each, with captions explaining that you had to go check out the other two independently, sorry, etc, along with taking 30 photos. holy shit, it was bad. this time, there are only 10, which will go in one single 10-image megapost.
if all goes well tonight and tomorrow morning (still working on stuff), i will have 3 new paintings for tomorrow, a couple older ones at a discount, a decent (i think) older one (december 2020) that i found behind a shelf last week, a couple new pastels and graphite drawings, a cool one (i think) that's pastels on a print of a painting from earlier this year, as well as a couple new prints

this is the pastel on print. i like this idea, in general, of being able to draw over old paintings, and also it's a way to take a print that didn't sell (like this one, which was in the third in an exclusive series of three) and throw stuff at it

thank you both, so much.
forks, i keep starting new paintings with the idea that i'm going to be very formal and draw some straight lines. rarely turns out that way in the end, but some day soon i'm going to do something strict with masking tape and play by the rules!
jonathan h.m. thank you! that's an iphone pic so zooming in is pointless, but this afternoon i'm going to take a fancy camera shot of it. there are some interesting details in it, i think, because it started with pressing/imprinting newspaper photos/headlines into wet oil. first time i tried that (second time was a disaster, but i learned a lot!) but now i think i could have more control over it for the next time

The two things i've done with stuff I'm not happy with:
1. tear into squares and stick (in the original formation) onto some randomly/rapidly painted shapeshttps://i.imgur.com/aJeUjPm.jpgYeah, still hate this one
2. Just paste some bakeproof paper over the top to obscure the details (like mumbling the poorer lyrics in a song you wrote), throw some new paint over the parts you're particulary ashamed of. It may even be possible to pass this off as a deliberate statement, ahah yes uncomfortable memories as seen "through a glass, darkly", so deephttps://i.imgur.com/yyhPlyN.jpgActually find this one much improved

yeah i like the second one! face silhouettes on the lower-left are like keyholes to language :D
throw some new paint over the parts you're particulary ashamed of. It may even be possible to pass this off as a deliberate statement,
i do this all the time and enjoy the cliche of it. it's one of the best parts about painting, taking something that you spent so long on and just covering it up or scraping it off or whatever. i have had long had a kind of self-destructive/impulsive tendency, and i find it matches up really well with working on a couple paintings at a time, because there is ALWAYS something that looks bad or i think could use a change or two.

Also just DESTROY the ones I really like, or more often give them away to some random person I know I will never see again, deliberately no tdocumenting them beforehand. Like, the idea that I will leave nothing when I die, but somewhere in ughLondon some family will have something of mine on their kitchen wall, "who painted that Mammy?" "I dunno, some boy I once met..."

Except The Big Green One, no-one would take that, either too big or too green. So I hung that one until Cat ripped off a corner, then put it in a cupboard. Then when Cat is dead hung it again, New Cat is eyeing it up though so maybe a repeating cycle

how might a curious listener find samples/examples of this horse pun synth improv?
― cookie hat, esq. (cat), Saturday, 20 November 2021 00:42 (two years ago) link
that's a very good question, cat! it'll be up on bandcamp in a couple weeks! i'm pretty sure we'll just make them all free to listen to (about 32 minutes in total), or digitally "own" for $5 up to $5B, (pay what you can model that is billionaire-inclusive), and then of course the EXCLUSIVE cassette version, which probably be $8.
me and c. vadi have a pretty similar setup and approach. this was all recorded in that brief window earlier this year where i had an amazing studio in chicago (i'm still paying rent on it through december, but now i'm in st louis). an art studio, i mean, not a music one. but it had plenty of space, so i set up this big table in the middle for me and c. v. to set up our gear and do headphone improvisations. on her side of the table she had a synth running through some pedals (gain, equalizer, etc). She also has a Lyra-8 Organismic synth that she used on a release earlier this year (https://cvadi.bandcamp.com/album/the-lyre). On my side of the table i had a Bass Station 2 and a 404A sampler running through gain, a carbon copy delay, and reverb.
i thought we immediately had very good musical chemistry. c.v. is a trained, excellent keyboard and piano player, among many other skills, and she's adept to the point of being able to quickly adjust to anything i might do, even if i go off on a new direction without warning. i've never had so many good improvs with someone else, so naturally.
we recorded about 8 hours of playing over 3 different sessions at the studio, this summer, and then she edited it down to what it is now. it was really nice to completely let her handle that process - not only the recording (all captured directly to Logic), but the mixing and editing, the deciding which parts of all that sound best together. i love doing that kind of music work as well, but it was very nice to just be able to do the music thing for a few hours and then return back to the painting and drawing and all that stuff. rather than sitting a computer, listening to many hours of recordings, selecting, deleting, listening to things on a loop a million times, getting lost in the DAW, etc

she also has this awesome, mobile "synth in the woods" setup where she can play and record off the grid, on battery, all in a setup that fits in a backpack. i believe that this could be a million dollar idea
― just staying (Karl Malone), Saturday, 20 November 2021 18:50 (two years ago) link
we're also going to do a couple of "album release" shows, in late december/new years time - hopefully in 2 of KC/STL/CHI/MIL. those will be interesting and potentially terrifying for me because i haven't played music on stage in...15 years? 2006/7. and also they'll be improvisations, and our first performances in front of people. *gulp* but i'm very, very excited about it as well. we both have personal missions to release this thing in the year 2021, purposefully, like as a fuck you to this year. that year happened, but also this happened, that kind of thing.

first positive music review of my life i think?
I really hoped to have time to write about this album before the end of the year, but ran out of time (maybe in January!), but this Softer Drive (@TheGnarrator & @weinventyou) is excellent. I've been listening to it quite a bit the last couple weeks. https://t.co/7tfsJ0GWWa— Foxy Digitalis (@foxydigitalis) December 17, 2021

Sometimes I try to put myself in a state,call it Loose Control, for now,where expressive results are bent into javelined roads,thin and slivering lines which get all covered up and forgotten under relentless waves of new stuff.
Imagine automatic writing but more visual,thin and slivering lines instead of language,the brush’s residuals replacing the text.
When I Loosely Control my hand starts to moveon its own, independently,thickened water sloshingly flyingup and around the edges of a bucketwhich is swirling in elliptical orbits,the inverse of my motions,the effects of my causes becominguntethered from their origins, and yet I know that I am part of it all.It is from me and yet it doesn’t see me.
A forgotten mark gets scattered up,reforms as a ladder and tipsin new directions,one of many landing strips,loud movement then stillness,a flood and then a covenant.
I make my bed and then I sleep on top of it.My heart beats uninterrupted.It makes me live so I listen,five liters of blood in a circuit,all sustained without a rhythm. I don’t understand but I trust that I will wake up safe.

out of this tape hiss comes some light
my wanderings have dropped me off here,old train running on a fresh sea,with fingertips all cut up and worn down fromconstant use, my newer skin turns rough
I wanted someone to talk to but instead I had a beeror two and I wrote. it’s only more water pushing against my barricades.we build ourselves back up and see each other off at the door.I wonder who is watching who. I wonder how long I can keep this up.I think about what it would be like to see you stop.
I broke your locks but fixed your door sweep.Your car was fine but I brought it to the shop.I made your day easier and that was enough.
Tough love, that’s kid stuff. I’ll clean the dirt off, don’t worry.Your hands are blistered.Mine are sweating. My glasses fogged up.I drop off the kids at school.
Two-step around the room. The drums and the singingand I’m feeling warm again.I’m stretched out and dry.crushed in, drawn tightI haven’t touched skin so soft in years,my knuckles pop like firecrackers,My hands are stupid bricks. My WPM is 96.The words pile up and I keep writing.
There’s a ship that sails back.1I can still see it.I think about my humanity. I think about my spiritDancing with the one thought brought me out of town and sideways,a long nap in the eveningunwarnedunearnedwalking on air, enchanted.

i keep going "too far", and i know the reasonable thing to do is just stop when it starts to seem like it feels done. but, honestly, i aspire to be a very good painter someday, and part of that is i want to be able to "keep going" and actually pull it off. i would to be able to take some big risks and have them occasionally work out. so i'm trying not to beat myself up over ruining paintings like this now, because that's like a training point toward a future painting where i go for it and don't fuck it up

thank you Lavator!
it hasn't been nearly as hard as I thought it would be, to stop, although i have definitely struggled a few times. relevant to painting, especially, i settled into a habit of having a bottle of wine open as i painted, from the very beginning. it doesn't help that a lot of artists i look up to were heavily dependent as well. i finally got my copy of 9th St Women (wonderful book) back, so i've been finishing up the last half of it. it's sad, around 1950/1, to see willem de kooning finally succumb to full alcoholism, by which i mean, he reached the point where he fused it with his creative drive, which was unstoppable, and they went hand in hand from then on

xp lavator i have definitely been looking at my Schiele books a lot, recently. third from the bottom is the one i'm working on now, and although it's a bit of a mess i have been trying to incorporate elements of his self-portraits, like relatively clean lines, flat washes of color for clothing (sometimes), clearly delineated backgrounds and foregrounds.
i've been drawing a lot more, recently. i need to get back to the store and pickup a broader range of colored pencils because my current set (pack o' 24, prismacolor) is not cutting it
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 15 September 2022 15:05 (one year ago) link
oh and that top one from that post above is just a copy of Schiele's Grimacing Man (self-portrait) from 1910, trying to pick up something from him via osmosis. what's crazy is that the original was made using gouache, watercolor, and charcoal.
schiele is pretty much my very favorite painter, i think. that dang spanish flu took out a real one

i realize that some people would have done a lot more in 3 hours, but for me this was like speedpainting. i have a few more things to fill-in (sky, chair, and grass clumps) but i liked how being forced to move so fast leads to a certain level of detail. I'm happier with my trees at the top than i have been about trees i've spent 10x the amount of time on.
the nicest thing is that they were both asking if i planned to finish it and seemed genuinely interested to see what it looks like at the end! that's the kind of encouragement i will gladly pay $200/month for

If I could be so presumptuous as to offer an opinion on the face-and-arms piece above, the arms and particularly the fingers are where the work comes explosively to life for me. The face looks too concerned with accuracy whereas the hands are free, and reimagined in an exciting way. Can you block/break the face in a similar way?
― assert (matttkkkk), Monday, 10 October 2022 21:36 (one year ago) link
you may be 100x more presumptuous than that, and it wouldn't bother me at all!
i have been dying to break up that face ever since i made it, and have been thinking of different ways to do it. it's been nice to let it sit for a few days because now the oil is in a state where i can either revive it to a zombie state with linseed oil and blend a bit with previous colors, or paint over it entirely. i'm gonna bust out the ol' scraper too

thank you, and yes that last one was interesting because it was monochrome (or at least, sort of - "red with white and black" was the mission), and a final, new 20 minute pose after 2 hours of working on another one. the one i spent so much more time on, with all the colors available, is so much worse. it started off bad and got worse. the refresh at the end end, the new 20 minutes with a new pose and a limitation of only red + white/black, that was like plinko

thanks lavator!
yeah, the light thing is funny and impossible. i'm not even going to try to do anything about it. the deal is, one of the tenants (one of those doors) is elderly and all she cares about in life - besides stopping abortion and banning contraception and saving people from the covid vaccine, which she believes makes men impotent - is calling the landlord and complaining about stuff. she moved in on the same day i did, last year. since then i've heard dozens of things that she believes are horrible and insufferable in our apartment. there has never been a time, since the very first day, when she was not on an epic tirade against the property management and waiting for them to call her back, waiting for a maintenance guy, always waiting on something that she was expecting to happen. i mean, of course i respect the endless epic battle against the landlord. i think i'm on my 14th or 15th rental in 20 years. landlords are horrible. but in this case...our house is...fine? maybe my standards are low.
ANYWAY, for months and months she complained about our front porch light. it was too weak, and it starting to flicker. it was kind of annoying, i get it. the problem, though, is that she had bugged them hundreds of other times about other things that were trivial. so around the time the porch light was flickering, she went on another epic quest to get it fixed, and annoyed them so badly that the property management sent out an email to every single tenant asking them to no longer call them with requests, but to put it in email instead, and that "our agents are doing what they can to get your concerns addressed...while constant phone calls actually impedes the process and slows down our response times to and for you." which was kind of bullshit but i 100% get it with this tenant. she asked for my number repeatedly and i never gave it to her because i don't have the willpower to listen to her complain about how everything in life sucks so badly, every single day.
ANYWAY, they finally replaced the light, i'm sure she wanted it as bright as possible, and i'm sure they were like "have at it, here are the airport lights"

i asked if she renewed her lease. she did. "why?", i said, given all the problems. she just shrugged and laughed. hey i get it

i see. obnoxious tenant vs passive aggressive landlord. sorry you're caught in the middle. but maybe those lights protect you from covid so it all fits together

oh thanks! it's actually the one in the middle-bottom, which is a quick version of a toulouse-latrec. the rest are from a workshop i've been taking the last couple months. i've really found some kindred spirits, a pair of teachers, younger than me by quite a bit (i think -- i haven't asked their age) that i really respect a bunch. i've never had the opportunity to have a live model to look at while i paint, and i didn't realize what a big difference it makes.

one of my favorite things about this workshop i'm taking is the range of ages and experience among our smallish group. there's a young college oil painter who is very skilled, and his mother, who is just a phenomenal watercolorist (and amazing at charcoal as well). there's me, i'm hanging in there. a few others. then there's an 18-year-old who is talented and applying/getting accepted into some well known undergrad art programs, but is also extreeeeemely opinionated, and usually in the negative direction.
that is the context for my favorite quote from today, which was "I hate Mark Rothko", me: "whoa, really? I love Rothko", them: "Rothko is so...passé"

there was also the usual "duchamp sucks" thing, but that was the whole room. i am always willing to stand up for Fountain. but total dismissal of a readymade is to be expected, especially among people who are really into figurative art.
they didn't realize he painted nude descending a staircase, though. people seem to be more forgiving of shenanigans if you can paint something cool first

it felt satisfying to finish this one though, because i painted on top of an extremely bad figure painting i did last year at this time. i hope to keep improving, but it felt good to literally paint over something that was disappointing!
i'm not sure i've seen that before, thanks! and also, i'm not sure i've seen a composition that is blocked in that way before, so completely black with the bricks...it really does make you feel like you're peeking out of a dwelling dug into the side of a hill, hobbit style

thank you! i've gotten some good feedback on this one and it was heartening because i was afraid that it was in an uncanny valley between realism and abstraction. not that it resembles any of his work, but i recently picked up a big book of matisse paintings (the '92 moma retrospective book) and was really enjoying all of interiors which featured paintings within paintings. The Red Studio is better known, but i really like The Pink Studio as well

haha, thanks! glad it strikes the right balance for you. there's also the balance between what is more or less 'finished" and what is quickly sketched. i guess those two things map are highly related to realism and abstraction, except that every once in a while a very sketchy flick of the brush creates something that reads as more realistic, while another part that comes off as an abstraction of what should be there takes a bunch of work and color adjusting. it is very confusing and, for me, easy to land in a weird space! haha. ok, time for bed lol

i learned how to do monotypes this weekend! probably a familiar term to most people reading this, but to me it was new. in short, it just means taking a painting that is still wet and pressing it against a dampened piece of paper to transfer the painting. "mono" in this case refers to it only being possible to make one unique print - as you can imagine, after smooshing two pieces of paper together, the original painting is altered and so it wouldn't look the same if you made a second monotype out of it. (if you do make additional monotypes, those are called "ghost prints".) it's also one-of-a-kind/unique in that the transfer of the paint or ink from one surface to another with this method is inherently unpredictable, since it depends on the thickness of the paint, how wet the original painting surface is, how damp the target surface, how you press the two surfaces together, stuff like that.
i wish i would have taken more photos of my original paintings, because after you make a monotype the original is forever altered. but here is one that worked out ok:
https://i.imgur.com/xeutK1u.jpg
and here's what the monotype looked like:
https://i.imgur.com/K8GqRKD.jpg
there was also another version (i didn't take a photo of the original) that produced a very uneven transfer, and i ended up liking that result the best of all:

i have been trying and failing to "zoom in" more on figures rather than always getting the whole body. i accidentally did it with this one this morning, but only because the legs and feet and the bottom half in general were all so terrible that it immensely improved the composition as a whole to tear it off completely. what was left was "zoomed in".

― corrs unplugged, Sunday, 12 March 2023 07:11 (one year ago) link
oops, sorry corrs, didn't see that! by "zooming" i guess i just mean is that when you're painting from life you have to choose what's going to fit into the canvas. from the same perspective, you could paint an entire person from head to toe, with space all around them, or you could choose to paint only their torso and shoulders (or their face, or whatever).
i started with some charcoal today. the oil pastels are quick and fun but i feel like they are hard to mix so you just end up with the product palette instead of your own.

these were meant to be dancers but i may have accidentally made a dunker! dancer slams it home. i like what charcoal does but the physical sensation of putting it on is very similar to chalk on a chalkboard.

I’m intrigued with the woman staring as black and white curves shapes. I can’t tell if that’s just reusing an old canvas or trying to already work out the shading on her torso?
I’ve been trying to pick up painting as a post-sobriety hobbie but as I’m starting from scratch, it is not getting me very far. I try to do at least 30 minutes a day, or barring that, 30 minutes of watching others on YouTube because I have no idea what I’m doing.

originally i intended to keep the part of the original acrylic painting that i liked (the part on the right side of the first image, which i saw as a figure kind of being blown away from the target - it had something to do with my dad and being unable to penetrate or understand him, and also a lot to do with me being drunk too much at that time), but pretty soon it all got covered up. in that last image you can also see a bit of newspaper in the middle - there were two small puncture holes in the original canvas, so i thought i'd integrate newspaper into the oil repainting to cover it up. it didn't work (newspaper kept peeling off) so i ended up patching the hole with masking tape on the verso/back side of the canvas. anyway - a painting like this that takes forever and has so many reworkings always feels like a journey and you want to tell someone about what happened, so thank you for asking :)
what kinds of paintings are you doing so far? acrylic, oil? whose youtubes are you watching? and are you kind of working abstractly, or doing still lives, nature, figures? all at once? i love to talk painting and would love to see what you're making if you want to post them in this thread
― z_tbd, Tuesday, 16 May 2023 16:04 (eleven months ago) link
I’m doing a bit of everything. I just wanna learn. I spent two weeks learning how to pore paint and making abstract shapes. I then got bored and started doing acrylic painting of flowers. Now I’ve got bored of that and feel like I need to find a third thing. I figure if I just keep going I’ll eventually find something that sticks.
YouTube just started with half remembering things my ex girlfriend did and finding instructional videos for them, like the paint pouring. She was an abstract painter still trying to pretend it was still the height of all those drunks in 50s New York. Then I’d let it recommend stuff and auto play and you would get more interesting stuff, like bbc4 documentaries about abstract painters talking about how they worked. It was more of a thing in the background that I was only half paying attention to, so I can’t actually remember any names of good videos to recommend

fingers crossed but i might be selling that last painting (last 3 sales have fallen through so i'm just jinxing myself again)
all ten of my fingers are crossed now, though, so 5 different crossings of 2. i've finally woken up from my yearslong slumber and started applying to things for the first time - a couple contests/juried exhibitions, a gallery, and an upcoming residency. plus, i managed to go out and see an opening at a "real" gallery on friday, to see a local artist i really like that's managed to make a living out of it. i introduced myself and he offered me (fingers crossed) a spot in an exhibition at his space in a couple months!
what's hilarious is that all of this is hitting right as my savings hits $0, like, exactly after working my ass off and going through my life savings trying to become better for the last 2+ years. i know i need to get a source of steady income, even if it's just taking tickets at the art center, but i'm also filled up to the brim with music and art activities and obligations right now, in the very best way. never really understood wanting there to be more hours in a day, until very recently

4th and final post in a row, sorry, but what's hilarious is that it took me about a week straight of painting to finally realize that the hand on the left was ENORMOUS, like way the fuck too big. i didn't use a model or a pictorial reference (although it very much resembles reagan on the front of perlstein's Invisible Bridge hardcover), and apparently my idea of a hand is just to make them cartoonishly large. i finally realized, on the second to last day of painting, that making it a normal size would improve things. kinda miss that giant hand though :D

strangely, music is taking up a lot more time too! there's hardly time to paint because of music practices, and then...i'm out of money. so i'm in the middle of a job application right now. in the end, i was able to go almost 2.5 years without working a job, completely obliterating my savings. After rent on the first i am down to about $200 in my bank account! but I have boxes of records to sell, a part-time job taking tickets coming in January, and I've had some luck in selling some recent paintings and still have a kindling of hope that I can make it that way some day. i had money, i have zero money, i have zero regrets, i would do it again in the exact same way if it led me here

― budo jeru, Sunday, 14 January 2024 16:35 (three months ago) link
thanks so much! the last few i've made and posted here have all been 9"x6", smaller than what i usually work with, and loosely based off of plates in a book a friend recently gave me, "the complete encyclopedia of illustration", from 1851. that last one started from this:
https://i.imgur.com/hewrh03.jpg
i initially included the double arc/rainbow and the plants on the left, but the rainbows looked cheesy and the plants were monumentally horrible so i covered them up with a box :)
― z_tbd, Sunday, 14 January 2024 17:29 (three months ago) link
doesn't seem like you have any trouble selling your paintings
minor correction: i definitely have tons of trouble selling my work!! ooof. honestly, for every piece i sell (not that many), there are generally 2-4 false alarms where someone is very interested and then sobers up the next morning and realizes that no, no they are not. lol! hey, i've been there.
but most of that trouble is on my end, lacking the willpower and confidence to continually push things out to people to sell. i did sell a decent amount when i first got started, but a lot of that was that i was out of my mind and dropped a lot of inhibitions, which led a lot of just "please buy my art, it costs this much" kind of sales. (heavily related - i think the other part of my early success was that i was going through a lot in my personal life and my friends wanted to help me out and support me through buying my art. i don't discount that at all - i think, at least for people who aren't rich, it's common to start off with heavy support from friends).
but necessity is the mother of invention doing what you've been putting off forever, so i think i will have to try to sell stuff this month just to get by. i have an awesome new part-time job (media archivist!) i'm starting in a few days, but it's only 15 hours a week so it's kind of a subsistence job, and unfortunately i completely emptied out my savings/retirement account to $0 over the past 2 years, so i don't have enough money for rent on feb 1 :( hence, if you follow me on instagram or whatever you'll probably see a renewed entrepreneurial spirit (blllllegggh!!!) over the next few weeks lol!
the good news is that if i can make it through the next 30-60 days i think i'm going to be in a good spot moving forward! and honestly, if i can sell just one of my larger paintings for $700-1200 i will be all set, i think.
(sidenote: goddamn, even a modicum of universal basic income would be a LIFECHANGER for so many people)

thank u h.p.!
i finished up the flyer with the band names painted on separate cardboard pieces and places on top - with some lighting in my kitchen + my iphone the 'briefcases' cast small shadows. i might mess around with this more in the future (collaging on top of painted canvas/paper, creating more 3d space

this is a kind of fun process image that i really like - kind of a transient state that has no ultimate home except for on this thread. i used the adobe photoshop "content-aware fill" tool to replace the briefcases:

Very well, most of the time! Not sure the cat feels the same way though ;(

this was the fourth or fifth oil painting i started, i think. i finished it (or stopped working on it) a couple months ago but didn't realize it was done until this morning as i thought about whether i should make space for it or not at my new spot. i don't have a nice camera and my lights are broken so i took 5 iphone photos and stitched them together to make this closeup

thank you! it's been 'in progress' for so long that i can no longer see it, but i'm glad to move on! it's going to be rolled up in a closet for the foreseeable future but i hope to show it in some sort of covid exhibition some day, if there ever is one. i think one of my original thoughts was to do something brutally confronting, like with a hospital bed and characters and text for some of them. i'm glad that i gave it a ton of time and made it less direct

Love the color on this. That big yellow eruption on the far right makes me think of something violent erupting like dragon's breath.
― il lavoro mi rovina la giornata (PBKR), Sunday, 14 April 2024 18:38 (one week ago) link
eruption erupting - ugh
thank you, appreciate that pbkr! the evil imagery on the right was partly on purpose, partly temporary layers that i left behind. the flat yellow, i think, is from one of the very first layers i put down in summer 2021, just to put down a color and have something to work off of. and the figure, i think, was based off of this engraving by gustave dore, from his Genesis series:
https://i.imgur.com/ja26DkF.jpeg
i think that's Baruch, who is a minor character whose tale i can't remember. he maybe the son of a son of a son of a son of a more famous son. i was also looking at dore's dante's inferno engravings around the same time, and also thinking about hell and evil stuff a lot because of things in my personal life. i remember doing the quickest sketch with charcoal and then adding some color (i don't drunkenly paint now, but i did then, especially that night) and moving, figuring i had a ton more work to do. but i never touched it again! people reading this who think it is bad are probably like 'yeah buddy maybe you should have' lol, and i do think i could have (could still, but won't) kept working on it and changed it into something more concrete, but i got used to the way it looked there, and i like how feels (to me) like a piece of bad threatening past, still on there

tangential humblebrag of the past - i won the school's spelling bee two years in a row in middle school, and "was one step away from ESPN" the second year, when i also won the regional competition. but autocorrrect ate my dog

anyway, thank you for saying nice things, i really do appreciate it and it always motivates me
additional umprompted lore, just because i've been looking at this thing for years and haven't really talked to anyone about it: it's funny that what turned into a david bowie look-alike on the boat started out as a version of chris killip's photo 'simon being taken out to sea for the first time since his father drowned'. i tried to do that kid's face so many times and then it became david bowie lol
