Here are some recent images taken from inside a virtual reality scene I created for a presentation about my creative process. I was pretty thrilled to find so many shots “in there” and loved discovering all these giant robots and sci-fi vignettes. What do YOU see? Created with: #tiltbrush #medium #quill #kingspray #animvr #unity3d @tiltbush @oculusmedium @madewithunity #madewithunity I originally created a hand-held VR camera because I wanted to take high resolution (print ready) images of my work from inside VR but I soon realized how much fun it was to explore these abstract realms and hunt for “the perfect shot”. Much like how photography in the real word is an interpretation of reality, so too these images, captured from inside virtual reality, are an interpretation of what I was seeing in VR, and in most cases, it doesn’t look like this at all, becoming its own unique piece of artwork unto itself. I find this process of constructing a virtual environment in which to explore and take pictures, to be super exciting. Visiting these images afterwards reveals a whole other layer of abstract imagery for me to study and analyze. Like a photographer working in their darkroom to develop a picture, I use an iPad to easily scale and crop the images to reveal new compositions. I am a staunch believer that virtual reality artwork should be experienced in VR, but I also enjoy that VR can be a tool in which to create other forms of art. #vr #visionart #modernartist #abstractartist #scifiart #streetart #superflat #virtualart #virtualreality #scifi #vrart #vrartist #abstract

An experiment in creating a hand-held VR video camera (to feed desktop monitor for screen cap recording) became a quest for a #moebius look in VR. Hand “animated” by puppeteer surfer with one hand and filming with the other. Looks cool in VR too (just saying). @madewithunity @tiltbrush @htcvive #kirbykrackle

“Inspiration fuel” for 2018. Christmas book haul: “The Noble Approach” I just recently discovered this book and realize that #MauriceNoble has had a major influenced on my “subconscious aesthetic” my whole life. I’ve always loved these shapes and forms (along with Dr. Seuss) of landscapes and other worlds. Hello old friend! “Art of Atari” Love the artwork on these classic Atari games. Many I still have. Fantastic to find out more about the artists behind these great illustrations. As a kid I was always disappointed the games didn’t look like the covers! Lol. Nice to have in one book. “The world of Edena” Moebius. What can I say? Moebius is awesome. I especially enjoy his vehicle designs. I do like getting digital versions of his books as well because I can zoom in and look at all the details, but nice to hold in my hand and turn the pages too! “The Art of Richard Powers” Abstract surrealist SciFi - oh hell yes! Absolutely love his work!!! Every page contains another mind blowing painting. So cool. Excited to see what comes from this. “Great Space Battles” How did I miss these books from the “Terran Trade Authority” as a kid?!? There are a number of these - collections of great SciFi illustrations (mostly 60’s & 70’s) with stories written to embellish the images. I would have LOVED these. Well, never to old to discover stuff you missed. “The Art of John Harris” Massive spaceships in massive space environments all with a dreamy impressionistic take. He started in the 1970s, but I actually really dig his work from the 2000s+, much more loose and expressive (more bold and blunt) - awesome stuff. Each year my Christmas book wish list contains titles that resonate with my current work. Most of the time it has the effect of “checking in” to see where I am at. This year contained titles that begin to answer questions about “Why that?” and “Where did that come from?” - connecting with my “source” seems to be of interest this coming year. Very excited to see where this takes my art in 2018.
