>>Taken From the SNICHOVAULT<< Next, that's also an MTV show.


Might as well go in order, I made this image next. I used a soldering iron in my first image, but in this one I took it to the max as you can see. When the melted plastic dries it leaves tiny bubbles in random patterns, I always see faces in them, but I'm sure that's just a human response. It also serves as a smokey environment, or crispy burnt flesh, whatever your personal preference is. A bonus effect of the over-soldering is that it warped the negative, giving an artificial depth of field.



I used masks in all three of these retrospective images, by which I mean a light mask. Using an opaque material I selectively choose where to block light, paint, etc. People familiar with photoshop probably make layer masks all the time, this is the same thing only REAL. That is why the eye in this image is so undercooked.

I was told that this one recalled memories of Donnie Darko, which very well could be true, but I have never seen it. Can google help?



I can see it. I guess it's about a guy in a bunny suit that does something. I will say in passing that the only reason I've never seen Donnie Darko is because so many people have claimed how fucking awesome it is, and I simply cannot believe them. It's the same reason I'll never see Scarface, out of spite. But if I'm ever on Cribs, I'm putting up a poster.
