tiny by-product

after the bag i noticed that paint had splashed into the window. made a wee video. for the craic.

simply a nice photo



boxing bag ii (green and red edition)

so,made another one. but this time i did a few things different. instead of just using black to contrast against the white. i used green on one hand and red on the other to contrast each other.
i also warped my hands in old rags and short lengths of fabric instead of using clingfilm. (no matter tho my hands are still killing me)
i have also come to the conclusion that doing fifteen three minute rounds is just not realistic. that's a pro level,plus my DIY bag is just mud in coal bags warped in old carpet,i haven't got gloves and its cold outside  so my hands freeze up after about 5/6 minutes.








fist dish

hurpaty derpaty


i don't know if its better with or without the music. i had originally a fast passed song,but then thought something more gentle and slightly ambient might be better,again,as a contrast between the violent act i am doing against the soft music.

but just in case you wanted to see violent acts preformed to daycent angry choons, here is some ZEKE.
(it really does make a difference)

boxing bag. continued

the boxing bag. this turned out EXCELLENTLY.  far exceeded my expectations.
its looks absolutely  gehto-fabulous hanging up outside my window. at the moment i have made once length of marked carpet. in black. the marks look like they have been softly rubbed onto the carpet,or gently brushed on. but no in reality the where violently battered on with fists covered in black. but no one will know this unless they see the video.

I'm going to maker a few more,but maybe different colors,perhaps green and red together,they are two colors i always thought went nicely together. especially a dark green and a lighter red.
instead of acrylic mixed with water,i might get poster paint,or maybe large buckets from HomeBase(as long as they don't explode my wallet. it is almost rag week after all :P).

another thing i was thinking about was the time,the first one i made was about 8 minuted of boxing,but if i where to do fifteen rounds of three minutes each. with a minute break between every bought,it could then become much more difficult. it would change the whole project,to a endurance test. i would move the camera before every "round". in the end id then have a video with 15 different angles. and a little over 45 minutes of raw footage to work with.



















baloons and splater painting. self critic. review

the balloons full of ink looked better on video that it did on the final pages,i think i might have used too much water compared to how much ink i used. but i got a bit of a video out of it, which could become a piece once i edit out the useless bits.







so i made up the splatter painting and the smaller ones that go along with it,and to be honest i hate it,its something old and boring,seen it a million times before. i wouldn't call it a waste of my time because it kept me busy on a day that i was waiting for materials. but i would do it again.
