Isometrics

In a couple of weeks I'll be displaying artwork in an open gallery called 'The Shop'. A mate told me about it recently and managed to get me onboard. I'm still working on plans but I'm definitely going for a mathematical piece. I've always been a sucker for geometric imagery and 'form over function' but recently I was trawling through my year 9 maths exercise books, discovering an amzing page on isometrics.

Remember this great paper? Perfect for drawing cubes in a 30° format.

Anyway, I researched a little more into this graphical style common in architectural designs and came across the vastly popular Eboy imagery that is reminiscent of Sims 3000 from '98. They render whole cityscapes in isometric - it looks so cool, I think it's definitely what I'm gonna shoot for... 

This style of image production is called 'pixel-art'. It's intensely nerdy.

Instead of spending the whole exhibition on a laptop however, I'm gonna project the isometric paper onto a wall in The Shop, lightly go over it on with pencil, and finally begin to create a timeline landscape of planet earth. I'll be using Sharpies, keeping it entirely black and white, always following the 30° rule...

Just imagine it in glorious isometrics - I cant wait...

I'll Keep you updated on the exhibition and show you the final product.  Hopefully in the drunken, pretentious, metaphor boasting after party I'll be able to build some hype for Righteous.
