I kinda like the spiral camo on this disguised 2010 6-series test mule

Whoa, that's HUGE.

But it's also BEAUTIFUL and even though I can't really be bothered with cars... WANT!!!!

Maybe I'll paint the bathroom in spiral dazzle camo. Yeah.

RISD discovered by accident that they have a pretty massive collection of dazzle ship art. Apparently the exhibit just closed, but there's some smallish images up at http://www.risd.edu/dazzle/

And goddamnit Internet, where is the high-res scanning? Why aren't there posters available of this?

UPDATE: apparently the exhibit has been extended for another week. Someone has to go to this...

ha, if you google the names on those design cards it's easy enough to find actual photos of the ships

for instance

was too obvious 8)

the painting (Dazzle Ship In Drydock, Edward Wadsworth) that inspired that cover is here:

lots of the painting of these ships was done in birkenhead docks, hence their fascination with them

(oh, EW was instrumental in the design of the ships rather than just recording the results)

(it would have been too obvious, but I literally did haul it out this morning)

that last one just looks like digital camo - is pixels rather than polygons.

anyway, more splinter:

those pipe shapes are very Leger-esque

it's not a great job, is it?

i liked this when i saw it (it's Chelsea Arts Club):

We had in-laws visiting from overseas last week so were doing touristy things, went on a Thames Clipper past the warship, it looks pretty cool from the water.

Oh, we saw that on our Thames Walk the other week. We were wondering what that was about. My companion insisted it was graffiti art of some kind, I said it was Dazzle Ships. In a way we were both right.

This is effectively the opposite of dazzle ships, but one editorial test I took had me summarising Warpaint, a guide to acceptable paints for Royal Navy ships. A hauntingly & hypnotically dull document.

My uncle used to build boats for the US navy, and I remember looking through some of the paint catalogs showing paint chips and milspec numbers for like 9000 different shades of orange which all looked exactly the same to me. A particular boat might spec for, say, any of 4 of those numbers, and they'd have to find a supplier who did one of those 4. The other 8996 colors, which looked exactly the same, were unacceptable.

i hope there are bad procurement officers who just buy job lots of grey paint off ebay because it looks about right and it says it's weatherrproof.

Dazzle make-up.

Not dazzle, but this seems like a good thread for it.

Thought this revive was going to be about juggalos and members of KISS evading facial recognition.

Sorry to disappoint.
