This open created by Trollback & Co, embraced the theme of Pop!Tech with organic elements like water growing whip-like arms and corrosion. This is a piece that takes three colors: white, black and red, and creates a truly stunning piece of art.
Finally we wrap with this truly beautiful piece of 3D typography that is the opener for the 25th anniversary of one of the most inspiring conferences in the world: TED.
There is an ordinary Jewish story….
A father was teaching his little son to be less afraid. To have more courage.
“Jump,” he said, “and I will catch you.”
And the little boy trusted him and the little boy jumped. And when his father caught him, he was filled with love.
And when his father didn’t, he was filled with something else…..something more……….
Life.
I came across the work of artist Christian Faur who, among his other work in oil, encaustics, fabric and fiber, uses wax crayons as a medium in a completely different way.
Using hand cast encaustic crayons (that are still essentially similar to Crayola Crayons), Faur sets them into position, on end, in arrangements of the crayons themselves that, based on the value and hue of the individual crayons, forms an image when seen from a sufficient distance.
This still recaptures some of the innocence and playfulness of childhood crayons and other toys (remember “Lite Brite”?), but uses the crayons as a combination assemblage and image creation medium.
There are several experimental variations in which Faur explores the idea, many of them almost monochromatic except for sharp punctuations of brighter colors, others are full color like the image above, Experiment 5 (shown with a detail of the surface).
One of his other artistic experiments involve assigning colored crayons as letters in a “Color Aalphabet” and then using them to interpret literary passages, for instance from Hamlet. He goes into detail here about how the colors were chosen.
I made this in Illustrator and thought it would be a great wall paper. Enjoy!
The terrors of the Tiny Art Director. Illustrator Bill Zeman’s four-year-old daughter critiques (and usually rejects) his work.
