Today is the Day


Here I am, plastering my physical presence on the web. I spent hours using my new maybeline products, and hours tracing my face to copy it for Illustrator. This was my first time ever using Illustrator. I took the picture on the left and then traced layers and added color to the image on the right. Now I can almost be thrown into a digital movie. I have a question for the reader's, "Should I continue to live as human or should I bite the bullet and perform the entire surgery?" I always wanted to be an image running through make believe land.

Now on the issue of cloning, it cost a lot of money to regenerate my cells, but it was certainly worth every penny. I apologize for not including a hand drawn portrait of me in this get up, unfortunately I do not appear like this any longer. I trimmed the hair to be taken seriously by society. Although now that I run through the wacky land of compressed layers and endless bandwidth, I should learn how to create a program that alters my image with the click of a button.

All joking aside, this technology is helpful and lets the creator create complex ideas in a shorter fashion. This is not exhibited in my two portraits, but if I wanted to add transparent layers or change clothes, it would extremely faster to change the opacity of the Illustrator layers, than go in and draw transparent layers. I still am not going to trace my photos to achieve better likenesses of myself when drawing by hand though. The freedom of the hand and drawing media establish more expression and life, than vektor dots stacked upon each other. It would be interesting to put pixels versus pointilism and see the effects of the two approaches. I can visualize the difference, but I won't truly know until I do it.
