Observer Progression, Big Rig Jig

Erik Feb 10, 2009 — 116 comments

Here is the progression video for the newest painting, Observer. I had the basic idea set before I started the painting, mostly organized and composed in my mind’s eye. Based on that, I just sort of went for it, without much of a compositional drawing, which explains the mildly hectic planning stages on the canvas at the beginning of the video. As with the others (Untitled, Angel, Ephemeral Transition), watch for it to evolve, then devolve. Repeat.

Also, here is a sculpture Mike Ross created for Burning Man 2007, called Big Rig Jig. I know it’s been around for a while, but I think it’s worth seeing again. There is something awesome about the way he made it, something that strikes me as more artistic and visually interesting than most large steel sculpture you generally see. It’s not just something big that’s welded together; it moves, it’s got a personality. Also, it’s two semis swirling impossibly in the air in the absolute middle of nowhere. Awesome.

Internet is written with the capital letter in a sentence, by the way. And hundredths are written not with a point but with a comma. This is according to the standard. And actually everything is very good..!!
