Another photo abstraction

I took one of the black and white photos from an earlier post and made this color overlay in photoshop. I then painted it in oil for Geoffrey for christmas! Merry christmas!

Sidewalk findings

I walked around Clinton Hill today looking for cool sidewalk crack patterns. Finding good ones was actually harder than I thought. I guess people keep their sidewalks in good repair in my hood. Here's one of the pieces I made from them: Sidewalk Crack #1 copyright sean lewis 2009

I also found this green paper that had amazing folds: Green Paper copyright sean lewis 2009

Sean Stripes II

My Sean Stripes 'woven' together with a red butterfly pattern.

This was inspired by my computer's glitches. I was overlaying the red pattern on the teal one in CAD, and the print preview showed it all weird and intertwined. So I gave it that effect when I painted it. Not the first computer glitch inspired design of mine. Excited to go photographing tomorrow! I'm gonna take some sidewalk crack shots!
