The Aesthetics of Minutiae by Production Justin

July 26th, 2006 2:33 PM

INSTRUCTIONS:

All those paintings of women, in art galleries, surprised at private moments. Nymph Sleeping. Susanna and the Elders. Woman Bathing, one foot in a tin tub -- Renoir, or was it Degas? Both, both women plump. Diana and her maidens, a moment before they catch the hunter's prying eyes. Never any paintings called Man Washing Socks in Sink.

--Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin


Create a visual depiction of a private moment that no one is likely to care about.

I call this "coworkers working".

I took a picture of my coworkers working. Then I created a pencil sketch and scanned it. Finally I brought them both into *gasp* photoshop and added all the light sources from the original photo into my sketch.

Reminds me of a Radiohead album cover, circa 1998

Thanks

Do you mean it reminds you of a specific album cover, or just that it could be/sort of looks like it could be a Radiohead album cover?

Looks like it could be. Reminds me of the style, but not spefic covers. Like the Airbag EP, OK computer, and the Meeting People is easy documentary.
