RE*MIX

Medium

A RE*MIX is made by first taking a very high resolution photo of the ORIGINAL. The photo can taken with a high resolution DSLR or with an iOS app like Hydra then can emulate a 32MP camera.

Once the photo has been captured it is opened up in photo shop where the DPI and resolution are adjusted along with the color, contrast, color temperature and sometimes perspective depending on how carefully the picture was take.The next step in the process is to turn everything within the image into a layer. I first start with the characters follow by the layered elements (marks and brush strokes) and then the background.

The layers theme have a duel role; to provide the infrastructure for the RE*MIX images as well as the infrastructure for the MOTION animations.Once all of the pieces are cut the aWIP sketches are referenced and work begin on assembling the images together. Often times during the creative process I will do charcoal drawings as needed to add layers and depth to the images.Upon completion of the images I will sign and date them digitally.

Definition

RE*MIX: An iteration of the ORIGINAL art piece that focuses on the characters and their personalities.

Think of a RE*MIX in the same way musicians think of a remix as it applies to their music. See you can take a piece of music and rearrange its rhythms, vocals, music, percussion etc. and have a completely new song to listen to.
