Guest Dragon Art

(Nationals is over. The recovery begins. The guest posts continue.)

I asked my art buyer to find horse art at the Dragon*Con 2016 Art Show.

Ko-mo-re-bi (san) : A Japanese word meaning “light that filters through the trees.” An aesthetic and feeling that inspires my work everyday.

Working in oils brings everything into focus … Oil has a luminosity, a gem-like glow.

Foto Friday: Guest Dots

(The ~~other people doing my work for me~~ guest posts continue.)

Inspired by my Prisma post [Foto Friday: Prisma], my IT Dude rendered Rodney as a series of dots, 4k, 10k, 50k, & 50k in color.

Reference code
“Stippling is the creation of a pattern simulating shading by using small dots.”
http://www.saliences.com/projects/npr/stippling/index.html

“Today we’re releasing a new program, StippleGen, which can generate stipple diagrams from images, using Secord’s algorithm.”

StippleGen: Weighted Voronoi stippling and TSP paths in Processing

“All the code is open source, ” says ITD.

Heading out to tilt at the windmill that is Nationals, once again. While I am otherwise engaged, I leave you with a series of guest photo posts. Show Report scheduled for next Wednesday. Not planning to talk about the show until then. Not much to add to what I have already said.

Words for this year:

If you are on a horse, you’ve already won.

I may tweet, @RodneysSaga. Twitter widget installed on sidebar. If I do not, the Stepping Stone Farm Facebook page will have updates, particularly if there is good news to share.
