Mar 1, 2011: Tilt-shift Van Gogh
A little background first: "tilt shift" is a photoshoppy technique where an ordinary photo of something wide in range, such as a landscape, is converted into what looks like a model. Aw hell, this page explains it better than I can, and has examples. So, Serena Malyon came up with the idea of performing tilt-shift manipulations on iconic Van Gogh paintings. This is the fine art version of remix artists and DJs taking old, familiar songs and turning them into something new, in a way that maintains artistic integrity. link |

Essentially, changing the f-stop setting of the camera the photo was painted with.

Why all the blur? Is that an artifact of the process?
Makes me think they're trying to hiding something. |

If you follow the swirls backwards, it reads "Worship His Noodly Appendage".

Coolamundo!
My ex's roommate (a jeweler/artist) painted a version of Starry Night for me. It's quite good. I don't care what anyone says: I luvz Van Gogh. I woulda been his girlfriend had I been alive then.

Not a lot to say about these, but I think they are cool, and I like them. In hindsight, it's obvious that this can be done to paintings, but I think the person who thought of it is brilliant.

I keep seeing this as Tit-Shift. But that was Titian.

OK. A hundred years of model makers trying for the most realistic look possible.
These guys take reality and make it look fake. Now that's progress. I am sure van Gogh would wish he had been able to make his pictures just like these. I am afraid I can't understand all the superlatives in the various descriptions of the technique. |
