ChUcK's latest dye...

[disctribution]

Makes me wanna do a "black hole" type disc. Are you creating these 3d designs Chuck?

 

[ChUcKyZ]

Yeah, through a lot of trial and error. Basically, I'm telling a computer algebra system to graph a line, revolve it around the y-axis, and then playing with the appearance functions a bit.

If I was really keen I'd figure out some way to easily vectorize these images and get em plottered for maximum perfection, but the ol' xacto remains my most trusty tool.

Well, that and a hollowed out apple...

 

[ChUcKyZ]

ssssshhhh!!!

What program is it that you're using?

 

[ChUcKyZ]

I'm using Mathematica. We had to take some computer math course concurrent with calculus class and they gave us a free copy with a 2-yr license.

This one came out looking as good as I was hoping-

dude, you got a real talent. this one and the skull are sweet.

 

[ChUcKyZ]

shut up, chunk!

Just kidding- thanks, man!

Are you selling the new geometric designs at all? I'd love to try out a couple on a few discs.

Yes sir, I am- PM sent.

nice vector-art appearance, too.

I like it. you do some of the cleanest, most precise dyes I have seen.

keep up the good work!

 

[Johnny9s]

I just may have to send you some discs to do if my attempts don't work out. That is some outstanding dye jobs.

 

[ChUcKyZ]

I'm sure they'll turn out ok, as long as you follow the dip-dyeing steps in Acid's tutorial. Here are those stencils you desired:

I'd love to have a series of discs with stamps like this... I know they have fish designs as well... where did you come up with the design?

 

[mark12b]

that was some artwork i found on the internet and pointed chuck to. offhand i don't recall if it's an old design (copyright expired), or if it's recent work by a contemporary artist (which would possibly make it a bit of a no-no to reproduce). probably the best source for stuff like that would be to get a book of clip art (though i'm not sure if dover or anyone else has one specifically of NW coast indian art).

 

[ChUcKyZ]

Yeah, Mark hooked me up with the design.

Here's the vinyl for a disc for mixmasterob:

The stars in the middle and the letters will be colored in later...

My mother visited Canada and came back with loads of stuff with designs like that. I believe it's native art...but can't swear to it because I've done no research. Love it though...
