Mari (more) just sent me this pretty suspension painting she did inspired by some of the suspension pictures on ModBlog (note to the jealous: I didn’t get an actual painting, just an email). Oh yeah, and if you didn’t notice, I added an Art subsection that I’ll start posting to I hope, and I’ve moved a “what’s new on BME” list of galleries into the left bar, and you should see a search form in the next day or two as well!

As an artist myself, I must say this is gorgeous.
Really impresive. I love how it flows….
And Shannon, great idea to make an “Art” category –
I’m eager to fill it up for ya (-:

right side, but flipped, slightly different head:

And anqqa, your analogy would only makes sense if I had associated Photoshop 101 with something difficult.

just looking at it you can tell it was done in illustrator rather than photoshop.
it’s very lovely no matter how you did it.

However is was done, I still say it’s beautiful.
Honestly, sometimes the simplest way to do something produces the most amazing results. The idea can be the most difficult part of creation, I never woulf have thought of doing something like this.
I would be honored if someone found something I had done or a picture of me and created something like this out of it.

Haha, lyra, you’re my new favorite person.
And completely unrelated, I’m mostly Finnish, but I pronounce it “wrong” and my parents and I always argue about how to say “sauna”.

“just looking at it you can tell it was done in illustrator rather than photoshop.” …….. it can be done with the photoshop pen tool.
i’m not sure how it could be done “by hand on paper” and “done in illustrator” at the same time…. maybe i’m misunderstanding.
whatever.

oh and to creativenonfiction — until i lived in the very northern tip of michigan, i didn’t know there were two ways to say “sauna” …. and to this day i don’t know whether to say “saw-nah” or “sow-nah”.

hmh my note didnt print like it should.. missing :(thanks again fo the wonderful comments) ok i sketched it in paper u know and then skanned the paper and by that , over that i draw on comp, illlustrator. that easy! oh and the sauna 😀 the spelled: sauna. each character (consonant or vowel) is always pronounced the same way, i.e. Finnish is pronounced exactly as spelled (and vice versa).but i guess you could say “sow-nah”

I don’t know any Finnish, no one in my family speaks it any more. My great grandma (98 or so) can speak it, but never does. So pronouncing it with my bland mid-western dialect, I say it nearly as, “sana” where as my parents say, “Sowna”.
And Bijou, my grandparents & great grandma (only one left) live in the UP of Michigan, and my parents grew up there for the most part. I was raised, however, in mid-eastern Wisconsin.

hhm it’s really hard to explane but you twist the letters . like: you say s: [es] we say: [äs], a:[ei] a [aa], u[ju] u [uu], n [en] n[än],a:[ei] a [aa]. A sauna (IPA pronunciation: [‘sɔ:nə] or [‘saʊnə], Finnish [‘sɑunɑ])(wikipedia) i suck this 😀

haha, go yoopers!

Haha, it’s ok. I think I gather how to say it, I just think my way is prettier 😛
And yes, yay yoopers.

Oh wow, that is just beautiful. Wonderful job Mari.
As to the person who complained about using the photos. In the art world this is called “using a reference” and is completely acceptable. It’s not much different than using a live model (except the downsides of not having 3 dimensions to look at) and is neccesary some times, I’m not sure many people would want to be suspended for the length of time it can take to create a painting or sculpture.
I have a suspension sculpture almost done that I’m going to submit (I know it’s a shameless plug but check my website and look for Odin’s Runesong for work in progress shots). It’s great that you add an art subsection, I hope to see a lot more mod related art.
