Soysauce art!

Did you guys know that there's a such thing as soysauce art and there's even a museum dedicated to it? Well I didn't. This is something we did in class and it was a very fun experience. I'm allergic to soy products but I don't mind having a sore throat for a day or two if it means I get to eat it. It was very tempting as I painted with the soysauce to just take the tiny cup and drink it.

For this assignment we were to create pictures in class with soysauce that would work with a japanese restaurant's menu.

Can you recognize some of the Japanese items that I've painted?

Raptors logo traced with pen tool in Adobe Illustrator

Chose a complicated Raptors logo for one of my Illustrator Assignments. Using the pen tool I traced parts of the logo in layers starting with the back and then hiding those layers to work on the others. Using the handles with the anchor points I was able to get an accurate curve. When using the pen tool, to continue on with the with the tracing without getting that extra curve when using the handles, I just clicked the last used anchor point and I would have a straight line again. After that I had taken away the strokes at the appropriate places and filled in the logo with the original colors. My last step was to rearrange the layers in the proper order.

[ Free Textures ] My Texture Library

This post is the beginning of what will become a huge collection of textures. Once I setup my own website, I'll be putting them up in higher resolutions. These, of course are free, and if you take them, you don't have to give me any credit for them- although I'd be interested to see the finished work of what you would be using them for.
