I’ve been pretty busy so far this new year – and despite having not posted here in a bit I’ve done some work in the meantime that I’m pretty pleased with. To start off – here’s a project I did this past weekend. I have an appreciation for the permanence of nature, in comparison to our own endeavors – and I enjoy exploring the idea that a single setting can serve as an anchor for an unlimited number of events and stories across a broad span of time. I began by dividing my sketchbook page into 12 square panels, and repeated the same landscape in each – with minor changes as time goes on. I needed a “base” image to duplicate each time – here is the sketch and final base landscape. Below are two of the varied scenes in detail: And here is the finished product – 12 scenes spanning roughly 20,000 years: -Taylor
P.S. – Here’s the same idea executed brilliantly by the very talented Tom Gauld: http://tinyurl.com/n42zqk9
