Codex

Here's what all the Hook business led to.
This is a cyclic comic where the end of the story naturally leads straight back to the beginning and so goes on forever.
Infinity, ouroboros, phoenix, moebius.

The final codex style comics were printed using an old offset lithography press on A0 250gsm Somerset Paper. Two colours, midnight blue and dark matt gold yellow were used, combining on the front and back covers to create areas of green. They were then folded into the A5 codex form and held closed by a loop of gold ribbon.
Pleasing!

Some sound art happened in college the other day.

I was beneath it...

Maria & C-3PO

1927 - Fritz Lang's Metropolis was released. This film is one of the earliest, if not the first, science-fiction film. It featured an evil robot woman called Maria.

1977 - Fifty years later George Lucas released Star Wars which is probably the most popular science-fiction film. The design for C-3PO is very simliar to that of Maria.

If only they could meet...





















I'm sure they'd fall in love or summin <

I used photoshop to arrange the two images (both are official movie photographs).

Then I used the lasoo tool and cut out the black areas, then the dark areas, then the light areas, then the white areas. After I had separated each TONE as a layer and I filled them in with virtual paint.

I feel that this process is worth trying to explain because I did not use Live Trace or Cutout or anything like that. It took a long time.

So, this is not the final stage.

I intend to screen print this image.

Yes. A1.
