I have a stash of raw photos I created back in 2007 using acrylic and sometimes colored ink on plastic sheets which I then illuminated from behind. The photos I took were largely unprocessed, save for a few like this which I worked on in Photoshop with various filters, and cropped out the best parts. The image above I also processed further:

and the other way around - which I used as the basis for a banner

and a polar-coordinated pixel-push

There would be many more possibilities to play with this, such as color variations and other distortions and brushes, but for now, I leave it at that.

MY INTRODUCTION - ABOUT MY WORK

Sort:  

The mInd cannot stand a gap. It fills in all of the gaps, extrapolating what it sees and then stretching that around the backside of things, even though it cannot see that backside. Or, the eye looks at a car and calls it... red. It only saw one side, but believes the other side to also be red! Easy to trick... first rule... hide on the backside of things. So.., if the building says HEALTH... go ahead, go inside... and ya get the opposite! If the building says Justice... go inside... see what ya get... probably the opposite. It’s what the word OCCULT... means. The Planes we cannot see, or to FLIP what we think we see

Niceeee!!!!
