Here is a short video of the lenticulars I am making for this new batch. Sorry--It's a bit dark so lighten it up in your viewer.

third batch for art-o-mat

lospoesy@earthlink.net (hlowe) — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:42:00 +0000

I am sending off a third batch of art-o-mat boxes. The outside, like this pic above, is made with recycled boxes (cereal, tissue, supplies, etc.) and screen sprayed with metallic paints. I wanted to stay w/ the recycled boxes but continue to make abstract the color, forms, and shapes. The spray dots helped to make that happen.

I received another art-o-mat green card, so I am finally posting the last batch of boxes I had sent them (completed last August.) See in the following entries.
Comments are welcome!

I believe both of these boxes contain the lenticular pictured below. This lenticular flips and the gardenia was from my mother's garden. The boxes have some collage work--painted gold on the raisin box, for example.

I like this one. I did very little with
the surface because the vinyl box
covering was nice and the 3D lenticular
just suits the Quaker.

Some fish fillet with filigree. A lenticular is inside.

Some corn flakes. Let me know if you got one.

These are continuing the recycled cereal, etc. boxes theme.
Some gold leaves and various collage pieces added on the surface.

Here is the first of the second round of art-o-mat boxes to be shipped out.

These boxes are made from recycled larger boxes and I am doing a bit of collage/painting to the surface.

The lenticulars are in a small metal frame now and they can be hung in any manner (even upside down and something hung off of it, if you like.)

My second art-o-mat green card(s) came in.

Looks like my inventory is out so I better

get cracking!

I am continuing with the lenticulars but the boxes are going to be a bit different now--going to collage some together.

I am sending these three boxes (different views so you can see how they flip) out to Berkeley Parks tomorrow. We will also be exchanging a piece of art.

These two boxes contain lenticulars about the traffic in L.A. #38 was purchased by Berkeley Parks. There were two of these boxes (one on left.) The background of the box was from a photograph taken while in traffic and in the rain near my home. I had originally used that photo to try to make a lenticular showing traffic through rain on my car windshield.
Then came # 40 (image to the right) The background here is of the L.A. Marathon the day I was stuck in traffic and couldn't get back home because all the streets leading to my home were blocked. The lenticulars flip between several signs so that the directives become intentionally ambiguous.

Here's where one of my miniature phosphenes ended up.

I received my first green card from Art*o*mat,

so I guess that means I am a citizen--heh heh.

If any of you collectors out there in Oregon, Tenn., N. Carolina, etc. have a story or comment on the piece you purchased, add it here.

all 50 finished

The last ten boxes are done and sent off to art-o-mat. If you have purchased any box, let me know in the comments and I will tell you more about your piece.

Carol, from art-o-mat, informed me that some (probably about 10) of my boxes are off to Nebraska University housed in the the Ross Media Art Center for now. Here is a picture of the machine from the art-o-mat website--one of my favorite designs--so I am happy to be there.
