studio update 95 - paintings and an animated NFT
paintings are in production at the studio and i am compiling a new body of work.
these small works on wood involve the use of human figures.
the figures look like they are dancing, but they are actually zhan zhuang poses, which is the art of internal kung fu.
i have been including these exercises in my daily routine as the first thing i do when i get up in the morning. they have been increasing my quality of life.
i have never really been able to get into meditation before but i like this method because it combines physical workout with meditation.
a layer of thin oil paint stripes will go over these that you will see an example of below.
the entire surface of this piece was covered with masking tape.
a straight-edge and exacto knife was then used to slice thin stripes of tape off.
the tape that was removed, was transferred to another piece for the same preparation.
oil paint was then smeared across the surface and the tape was removed.
simultaneously, another series of paintings are being produced on the main wall.
the tape is almost ready to come off these.
where the background will then be filled with black and white gradients which i will produce digital mock ups of, in photoshop.
this is the prototype that will be worked first.
pictured below is a diptych that i am experimenting with. i do not know yet what it is going to look like, but i know what i am going to do to it.
in other news
i listed my first abstract non-avatar NFT on The Artling and it sold this morning for $420.

I am really stoked on this and am motivated to produce more of these animated NFT's which are based off photographs of sections of my physical paintings, animated in after effects.
A photo of a young man who purchased a photograph from my friend from the other art fair. the photo was taken by her using black and white film of me doing an ollie over a fence.
thank you for stopping by my studio in blog form.
cheers,
zack

Congrats on your sales and i found it very inspiring to see your application of the tape and how that whole process works. I really enjoyed the explanation behind the kung-fu figures. Knowing that made it all the more interesting to try and see what there is to see. Great job bro!
thank you castle. i still think maybe the figures are too apparent. maybe they should be hidden more somehow...
thank you for the comment, it is lonely in the studio and i do not often get feedback on my work, which is why i am thankful to get some on hive. :)
It is pretty creepy the way everyone is ignoring what is happening to me and still going to Hivefest. Lay the dirty snatches out why dont ya. Fake it all you want creeps, its so obvious the blind eye you are turning. @fyrstikken told me what V2K and RNM was before they turned it on for me. Around that time he introduced me to @roelandp . I still have the emails between myself and @roelandp . This chain is centralized by design and @fyrstikken helped set it all up to fuck everyone, one by one, slowly into my situation. This is no joke you dumb mother fuckers, they shock you to your thoughts..... Hello????? It is in store for everyone you fools and your helping. Voices pulsed in your head and shocks to your thoughts??? Ignore me and help fuck innocent people for life? @roelandp and other top witnesses I know are involved with @fyrstikken.. Wait until people find out you conspired to enslave them with this shit. I am not crazy and you know it. they are doing this shit to me and told me what it mother fucking was BEFORE THEY TURNED IT ON! Your acting like naive children or maybe you are just part of the problem? You look like sociopaths. Everyone should unplug from HIVE until they are caught, .your. celebrating and ignoring my obvious, you look like fools. You know who is doing it....they are trying to kill me with it. The Havana Syndrome is real too you slave trading V2K, RNM enabling fuckers. Arrogantly play ignorant you Creeps, your setting the table for trafficking and total enslavement. I did not know I was circumvented until a year after I was..People here will be nice until it?s too late. There is no way to stop it once they have you. Grow the fuck up, this is not aliens, gods, celebrities or a medicate-able mental concern. It is 100% electronic and beast as fuck. You do not want this shit. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem
