The first tenet, and the most important, is that there are no rules for creating beeple art. This creates a lot of freedom for artists to do what they want to do. It also allows anyone to create beeple art if they so please.<\/p>\n<p>The other main tenet is that there should be no restrictions on what can be used as matter for creating beeple art. All objects in existence can and should be used as matter for making an interesting piece of beeple art. There is no<\/p>\n<p>Every day, one beeple art is uploaded to the internet as part of a new art series. The first thing a recipient of this art sees is an email from a friend and a link. The recipient clicks on the link, and for the next minute or so watches the piece play out in front of them.<\/p>\n<p>The piece launched on July 30th, 2014 at 10am EST and has continued each day since. A different artist is responsible for each day&#8217;s piece. Each artist takes their turn in sequence, so that by the end of the month there will have been 30 days&#8217; worth of beeple art created by 30 different artists.<\/p>\n<p>Lately, I&#8217;ve been trying to draw my art in a more professional way. I&#8217;ve noticed that a lot of people feel intimidated by my weird art and think it&#8217;s cool but don&#8217;t want to give it a try for fear of failure.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to make my weird art easier to understand, as well as to make drawing tutorials for it. Right now, I&#8217;m working on how I achieve the &#8220;shading&#8221; effect in beeple art. Before, I&#8217;d just draw two outlines: an outline for the front, and an outline for the back.<\/p>\n<p>The new way is to draw one outline around the whole thing (except the eyes). Then I draw a second outline around just half of the thing (the top or bottom half). Then fill in all the pixels between those two outlines. It&#8217;s a lot faster than before because most of the time is spent drawing just one outline rather than two. This also lets me shade in a more realistic way by adding more outlines at different angles between each other and filling them in with progressively darker shades of grey.<\/p>\n<p>You can see in this pic of a new beeple that I haven&#8217;t quite figured out yet how to shade his upper body using this technique: http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/b<\/p>\n<p>The first piece of beeple art was created by a computer program I wrote in 2005. It was a short loop of video depicting robot-like shapes doing goofy stuff. You might call it the original meme, because it spread virally around the internet before memes were called memes.<\/p>\n<p>The early pieces were generated by computer programs I had written over the previous decade and a half, mostly while I was in high school and college. They were created almost entirely without human intervention, using techniques more like those used to generate fractals than to create works of art; no one had done that before either.<\/p>\n<p>The current body of work is also generated by computer programs but with substantial input from humans. Whereas the earlier pieces are like fractals (similar at different scales), these pieces are like collages (the big thing is made out of little things).<\/p>\n<p>Beeple is a romantic.<\/p>\n<p>He tends to view his work as the expression of his spirit, and thus, in some way, an extension of himself.<\/p>\n<p>He makes art because it is a part of him.<\/p>\n<p>Beeple specializes in highly-detailed and intricate artworks, using advanced techniques to translate very small and abstract ideas into stunningly large, beautiful and intricate images.<\/p>\n<p>The abstract idea of &#8220;art&#8221; is probably a mistake, but it&#8217;s not clear what the right question is. I know what I like; I don&#8217;t know how to convey that taste in a way that other people will share it. But I think my art does convey something about what I see, or want to see, in the world around me.<\/p>\n<p>And from this perspective, there are four features of my work that are worth noting: First, it&#8217;s all vector graphics; second, it&#8217;s all &#8220;hand drawn&#8221;; third, it&#8217;s all created with open source tools; fourth, I do all of it myself (with help from others with whom I collaborate).<\/p>\n<p>With the app, I can put a stick figure on a picture and make it look like something from the past. I can take a painting and graffiti it up. I can take a photograph and paint over it. I can even draw on top of videos, or make 3-D versions of my drawings.<\/p>\n<p>The app has been out for a few months now and is getting rave reviews. &#8220;It&#8217;s amazing,&#8221; one reviewer said. &#8220;I love the way it makes old photos look so grainy, almost like they were taken with an old camera.&#8221;<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z7XiKx_rj2I?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8iFNE0nElHI?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>beeple art is the future of art. it is the result of a new kind of art movement, beepleism.
