A Major Paradigm Change

I love that name. The art is in my gallery. I thank for changing her name to reality. I thank for conveniently giving me the premium membership required for a paradigm change. It is a little chilling. I am still Ribeyedsmile but but

I need my art to be viewed, accepted and bought.

Note: This day of May 18, 2012. I am taking this site as a serious attempt to make something.

And particularly that You Know My Name.... Thank You for stopping by my site.

here's how it goes:

1.)  IN THE NEXT 24HRS reply with the words I HATE PHOTO COPY MACHINES or I HATE CHAIN LETTERS. The first 5 people replying with that phrase earn a spot above.
2.) A spot gets you a 3 piece feature, including your dA icon.
3.) Once I post the features, I will reply to each of you, signalling you to do the same process yourself.

if you have been featured by me, do this:

1.) copy all the crap in THIS journal and paste it into a new journal entry.
2.) Remove the dA icons and features from the spots above, leaving blank spots.
3.) Change the word(s) in #1 in the first section.
4.) Post the journal and wait for replies. Once you get replies....
5. Feature 4 new people (who replied with your word(s) ) in slots 2-5 above.
6. Feature me (person who featured you) in slot #1.
7.) Reply to them once you feature them, signalling them to do all of this themselves.
8.) ITS LIKE A CHAIN LETTER
9.) I can't explain this any more thoroughly, its really not that hard to grasp.

This is sort of in reponse to my day today and this journal I read:

Read that and come back where I am consolidating my response.

first is this note



response to trad art question
My point is one from the effect of time on this. Digital art was for twenty years catering to the needs of an analog print industry.

packaging
magazines and newspapers
mailers
flyers
point of purchase display
etcetc....

TEXTILE
CORUGATED PACKAGING
NEW PACKAGING plastic and other materials

The issue is digital helped deliver a real product. The consumer in 1980 held in their hands 90% of what they bought. The art had to end up as tangible. The rules for production had to be met to deliver a product to the consumer.

Resolution is a crazy example. DPI was a conscern. Dots per an inch. The art needed to meet printing standards.

physical limitations defined art in many ways.

Of particular interest is Fantasy Art which is the true father of deviantart. Anyone with photoshop and a wacom is doing fantasy art.

The explosion of artists participating is really massive. But the majority are cut and paste predominantly.

Artists paid models to pose in lighting situations for the development of artwork.

Today they grab a photo and filter away and trace like mad.

The HYBRID is what they do. Today is a blend of photo manipulation with alittle invention. Few understand anatomy like frazetta or boris.

Art for public consumption is leaving tangible and residing momentarily on the display. Don't worry about us traditional artists loosing their market though. Very soon, the kids who learned HTML and vector trace over photo will be uprooted by holographic and direct brain stimulation.

The artist falls out of favor before they graduate now days.



2nd is:

These questions think trad artists fell out of favor with the masses. Dont worry, the pace of change is exelerating and artists graduating right now will have to RETRAIN in ONLY 5 years. Photoshop will be 5 versions newer and todays digital artists will be hasbins before the hasbins have left the room. We will all be piled up on the ground like idiots.



3rd is

as a media student, you must be sensitive to what is being sold in media. Advertising pays for media. And as consumers we see the product placement everywhere. Like the point of asking if we have a premium membership.

So if the speed of change stays consistent, in a few years we will be spending time in a virtual world. Now here is the question. What kind of products do you sell virtual customers and how do you advertise intangible products that dont exist in the flesh world. For example, your walking along a virtual pathway and some wacky goblin walks by like a drug dealer whispering, minutes, secounds hours of sheer pleasure for just a couple a credits...........



What happens to Madonna the material girl? GAGA the immaterial girl?
