SPLAT!

OK, technically this is not a real painting, nor is it a virtual painting but rather a virtual composite of a 1 cm square image of a splat of ink made on a card originally done as a test for an experimental film I did a few years ago. Each frame on this 16mm film had a splat similar to this but of course different which created an interesting effect when projected. The splat was made by drawing back a rubber band loaded with india ink, then released which subsequently hit the surface and releasing the ink. I came across this test image recently then enlarged the heck out of it then played with it a little in photoshop. The frame was constructed in Adobe Illustrator.

I like how this painting looks in b&w and in sepia  and I love this painting in different sections and orientations. It really changes the dynamics. Is this a spaceship painting or a figurative painting? 

This painting is from one of my Breath doodles of May 2006. The background was painted in August 2011. I liked it as is so I lived with it for awhile as a landscape painting. I knew sooner or later I would have to put the figures in. I see these figures as waiting at an entrance, and if I want to get more specific, you'll have to get a hold of me to tell you where it is.
