This piece was based off of a tutorial from psdtuts.com. It was a simple effect, where you make a car seem like it is going very fast. The tutorial provided a picture of the car I could use. I decided to use an Audi R8 because it is my dream car. I added lens flares on the headlights to make it seem more futuristic. Stay tuned for more art.

This week I was given to make a piece on whatever I wanted. I chose to make a gif animation because they are fun to me. I decided to make a bowling gif. The ball goes down the lane and nails a perfect strike. Then the sweeper proceeds and cleans up the pins. Stay tuned for another post next week.

This piece I made is based off of the same artist I just blogged about Tang Yau Hoong. As you have seen the simplicity of his artwork and the consistent theme of water. My idea was to use the lights of the car to put out the fire in the burning building. The lights represent hoses of water putting out the fire. I made this entire piece using the pen tool. Stay tuned for another post next week.

These five pieces in my blog this week are all from the surreal artist Tang Yau Hoong. All of his pieces are very simplistic and don't show very much meaning. He uses these designs to make T-Shirts. I like how creative he is with the same basic ideas. This image is an eye that also looks like a window with the sun as the pupil.

This piece shows a flashlight creating the city. To me this means that cities are completely run and reliant on electricity. As you can see he uses the city image in many of his pieces. I like how he uses depth with the flashlight. It appears way closer than the city is.

This image shows a group of bicyclists powering a light bulb. I thought this was funny because it reminds me of mice running through a wheel to power a cage. It makes me think of how difficult it used to be to attain energy.

I liked this piece because it would make for a great teacher. The little boy is swinging from the light like it is a swing. I'm not really sure what this means, but I like this piece. As you can see he uses the idea of light a lot along with city images.

This image shows a man that is painting the light from the street light in. This tells me that all late is created somehow. It also tells me that energy is limited because it is artificial. Once again you can see the consistent theme of light that is present in almost all of his pieces.
