Trees in Wichita

Simon — Thu, 17 May 2012 02:28:29 +0000

When I first saw these, I thought they looked hilarious. Thinking about it in retrospect, Wichita is one of the few places where I’ve seen trees neatly trimmed away from power lines rather than simply cut down to stumps. Kinda nice, really. The pictures are from Thanksgiving last year – I just came across them now and thought they made a good triptych.

Just messing around:

I’ve also posted it on the Open Clip Art Library, meaning it’s now in the public domain, free to use in any way you like.

Collage into 3d – first test

I’m not happy with this, even though I like the form, because I’m losing the alley in all this. But you’ve got to start somewhere.

Colorize it!

Wanted to see the collages from the previous posts divided into their components, so got the ones in the first row. Then I combined the original images with the color blocks, which ended up looking more or less like the second row (there was an intermediate iteration, but I think this one is better).

More collages

After looking over the collages in the previous post, I realized that because of the orientation of the original images they were too directional for my liking. I decided to throw some rotation into the mix, and I think these are a bit more successful in conveying the atmosphere of the alley without being too literal about it:

An idea I’ve been puttering about with, taking my Chicago alleys project into a more architectural realm. Not really sure how to take these into 3D, but most likely I’ll start off by using these as plans and working with collage sections generated in a similar way.

Well, happy little cubes, anyway:

The One Percent

I thought I’d share my visualization of what the famed One Percent of the US population looks like, so here it is: The One Percent.

Diagramming creativity

This was done for a Fresh Meat journal competition. Needless to say, it didn’t float with the editorial board. I thought I’d share it anyway.
