Bed Burning (Photoshop Image)

PillowLover • Dec 8, 2007 7:11 pm
I have taken a picture of a bed and added flames using GIMP to photoshop the image. This image uses the layered partial images technique to produce an image of the bed burning.

1. Pillows are photoshpped with flames.
2. Multiple burning pillows added to the bed.
3. Several layers of flames added from back to front looking like they were comming out of the mattress on the bed.
4. Footboard of bed added so fire looks like it is behind the foot of the bed.

This picture was inspired by the "Ham Bed" picture of artist Carimon Calvallero. This would be an assemblage and performance art. Assemble the bed in an open area -- then perform the act of burning the pillows and bed.

If anybody would like to do something like this, and take pictures of the results, I would love to see the results.

With the second photo, I used similar color select to choose areas of the pillows that I then darkened using brightness/contrast. I then added the flames to the pillows as layers on the pillows. I then added the pillows with their flames and charing to the photograph of the bed.

If I had silver pillows I'd have set them on fire for real.

In Pillow's defense, he doesn't seem to think that his pictures look real. He's just using them to sketch out an art idea and see if anyone has the resources to actually do it.
At least, I hope so.

Pillow, go get a grant. Seriously, make up some metaphysical mumbo-jumbo, add these pictures, get some quotes for beds, find a place you can do it, liaise with the fire brigade (hell they'd enjoy watching and would give you advice on how to create and control the fire) ... approach your local arts council ... voila! fame and fortune... maybe.

I'd laugh, but I think this person is really really insane and I'm kinda scared. Mebbe I should get a dog.

What I want to know is how do we sleep when this is happening?

I think you would be a little restless while your bed was burning.
