It reminds me of the time tunnel when Samurai Jack gets sent to the future by Aku.

that's a very strong image MM...are you using some 3D rendering proggie to get the bends etc?...

[MythMath]

I'm still just working within Photoshop...

And using the shading fx for volume...

[MythMath]

Reminds me a bit of the stars on the Thoth Atu XVII - Star...

[Naomi]

Yeah, nice anatomy Frieda....x_x

Is that where you got the idea or just another coincidence? :P

[MythMath]

It may be where I got the idea, but I didn't
realize it until a few minutes ago... ;)

[Naomi]

those hippo ankles....argh....

When are we going to do a tarot, MythMath? I need a new one that doesn't look like it was drawn by gradeschoolers.

you do the geometriks and I'll do the naughty anatomy...

[MythMath]

I'm gearing up to make prototype decks,
but I'm moving the studio shortly so
I'm going to wait until I'm settled in
before I begin any actual fabrication...

There are a couple of deck
designs in the cue already...

But I'm all for collaborating with you on
building a deck after those are finished...

Start putting together your images... :yes:

ps - like your new avatar, where's that from...?

[Naomi]

i want it to be an abrahadabra.com collab

or not at all

id rather just sit in the shower otherwise

[MythMath]

What do you mean by abrahadabra.com collab...?

Contributions from other members...?

[Naomi]

no like you get a bunch of people in a thread and talk about what the card should look like

real casual and shit

and collaborative

It's something I picked up from art communities

[MythMath]

Wow, I've found it's hard to design by committee...

Too many compromises and noone's really happy with the results...

Situations with 2 or 3 co-designers are optimal for me...

[Naomi]

works fine on art forums...

you guys are so weird

[MythMath]

I could see it working with a
single image, but a whole deck...?

[Naomi]

silly idea, I know

nevermind

[MythMath]

Forgot about this recent book's
cover image of video feedback :

I Am a Strange Loop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_a_Strange_Loop) (2007)

"In the end, we self-perceiving, self-inventing, locked-in mirages are little miracles of self-reference.
Our very nature is such as to prevent us from fully understanding its very nature.
Poised midway between the unvisualizable cosmic vastness of curved spacetime
and the dubious, shadowy flickerings of charged quanta, we human beings,
more like rainbows and mirages than like raindrops or boulders, are unpredictable
self-writing poems — vague, metaphorical, ambiguous, and sometimes exceedingly beautiful."

(I Am a Strange Loop, p. 363 )

you blow my mind dude, literally. and the psychedelic connection to the stars...

[MythMath]

Thanks, man...

Just reciprocating the energy... ;)
