Artist's Comments

Wasn't sure how to classify this one, but photography seemed like the closest thing. Even though I didn't take my picture, I just scanned my face. I was looking through the gallery of anti-praxe and liked some of the art he had constructed with his scanner. So after confirming with him that his eyes had not in fact been burned out by the searing scanner lights, I wanted to experiment myself. You know how you see all those office comedies with peoples faces shoved in the photocopier? Yeah, I kept the door locked.
This seems like a pretty big ego trip to me, but it was fun to play with. The only image I'm really annoyed with is the Air one, but I've never integrated well with Air or Fire and I guess it's coming out now.
This has got to be one of the weirdest experiments I've done in a while. Water is my favorite.

EDIT: Okay, changed the Air picture, because my friend threatened to print this out as a poster and I couldn't bear to let that happen with the old Air Image.

That is a way cool, awesome idea that was very well executed. Makes me want to do one but my scanner is a piece of shite. Awesome job I adore water :D

It's not easy being green, but I wouldn't have it any other way

Those are incredibly nifty. I like the water one too. Fire is also spiffy, but it's hard to make out the words 'fire' and 'sunset'.

You should however try to scan your eyes, it's a very interesting experience.... And so far harmless he he

I tried, but my eyes didn't turn out all pretty and shiney like yours...mostly you could hadly tell they were even open! I think your scanner must be better for head-scanning. :)

If Link were completely naked and covered in chocolate and strawberries, I think it would look a little something like this. Never mind what the pirate ladies are doing to him.

I think it's beautiful. ^_^ I really like the second air one, and the earth one. I'd make it into a poster. Considered making it into a print? It's really nice.
