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!

- Twelve Points to the Skyby JonathonThere’s a particular kind of magic that happens at your first big suspension gathering when you arrive with nerves, an open heart, and the quiet hope of flight.

- Rachel Larratt 1980-2022by Jen SavageUnfortunately, when we lost some of the ModBlog content, it included the post about Rachel’s passing. (Original Post) Rachel passed away on June 22, 2022.

OK, no offense to the artist, but it’s a couple of photos of suspensions, traced then filled over a background of a photo of thorns against a wall. Add some duplicated resized frilly bits and a transparent gradient and call it a day. Photoshop 101.

Redelicious – I don’t think that’s any offense to the artist. Graphic design is often about taking simple actions to achieve something aesthetically effective.

Very nice artwork, the suspensions work well also as a shirt print (I’ve seen it!) 🙂
Hehe, that Photoshop 101 is about as exhaustive as: Just find a chapel, take a brush, lie on your back, paint the ceiling and call it a day. Painting 101. 😀
