Simon Edmondson Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2013/04/this...full-of-objects I posted a link some weeks back to a couple of artists who used junk to cast shadow portraits. This is in a similar vein but rather than cast shadows the 2D image is projected and realised in 3D space. simon Quote
NancyGormezano Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 AH yes, I just saw this on facebook this morning. Fascinating, interesting concept. But I'm not thrilled with this particular resultant image. Still inspiring technique. We humans are such a funny lot. Ever the need to express ourselves visually. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 10, 2013 Hash Fellow Posted April 10, 2013 Crazy, but impressive. i suppose it helps to shut one eye if you are actually there to see it. Quote

Theres a painting in the National Gallery in London by Holbein called "The ambassadors". It is very 'realistic' in appearance with closely detailed brushwork. There seems to be a big tear or smear running across the surface which, when viewed from the correct angle, proves to be a skull... regards simon Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 10, 2013 Hash Fellow Posted April 10, 2013 Oh sure, Holbein was good with a paintbrush, but let him try doing it with old laundry and driftwood Here's a guy doing anamorphic sculptures in mirrors.... http://www.demilked.com/stunning-anamorphi...-jonty-hurwitz/ I think you could do that with A:M, then 3D print the object.

Robert A bloke I used to work with had an anamorphic drawing project he used with the students and using a tubular mirror was the next stage. Its done with a grid I think (?) Re the AM and 3D printer. Might that be an interesting eyecatcher for a sales display ? Lots of possibilities ! Don't ask me to do it though, my models often look like the unreflected part, but not by intent. regards simon Quote
