Girltalk — Colour (After)<\/a>, originally uploaded by royblumenthal<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n

One of the movies on the Air Canada flight from Edmonton to London was Brett Gaylor<\/a>‘s RIP: A REMIX MANIFESTO. (Download a remixable copy of RIP 2.0 here: http:\/\/www.opensourcecinema.org\/project\/rip2.0<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The documentary is a wonderfully immersive introduction to the Creative Commons<\/a> movement. Well worth seeing.<\/p>\n

One of the artists featured in the movie is a remix musician called ‘GirlTalk’. (Here’s an interview with Gregg Gillis, the dude behind the nom de plume: http:\/\/pitchfork.com\/features\/interviews\/7522-girl-talk\/<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

I LOVE what he does. And I HAVE TO get stuff he’s done. Buttkickage of the highest order.<\/p>\n

On the plane, I hit the pause button on a good shot of him. Whipped open the trusty li’l black Moleskine. And slammed some lines down with my Bic Intensity gel-ink pen.<\/p>\n

So the black and white version is what I ended the flight with.<\/p>\n

\"Girltalk<\/a><\/p>\n

And the colour version is a high res scan brought into Photoshop CS3. The only thing I’ve done is draw various outlines, and use the colour adjustment tool to get some lovely smooth, flat colours going.<\/p>\n

That’s made possible specifically because of the fact that I scan at high res, in full colour, with low contrast. This means that the paper texture is part of the black and white picture, even though it can’t be seen.<\/p>\n

Originated in black ink in an A6 unlined Moleskine. Scanned. Then tweaked for colour in Photoshop CS3 on my Rectron-sponsored Asus R1E tablet pc.<\/em><\/p>\n
