Nowadays there is a very very thin line between real and fake, often it's to close to call. Computers have turned this line into something that is almost impossible to notice to the untrained eye. Recently I saw a photo on Pinkbike that blew my mind, so I am here to share with you guys something very unique, and something I haven't seen before.
Read on to see a very unique perspective on Steve Peat...
Recently I was cruising the site and noticed a very unique photo of Santa Cruz Syndicate rider and all around pinner, Steve Peat. He was pinning it at the Sea Otter Classic, the first "race" of the season. It's basically a big show boat scene as no one earns any points from the race, simply bragging rights.
So what grabbed me about this photo?
Besides the fact as I had a feeling that the upload'ee didn't own the photo, I clicked on it to find that it was actually a painting done of a photo, of Steve Peat! How weird is that, someone did a painting on a computer. I was under the impression that painting was a lost art that older people did in their spare time, but no, I was incorrect.
The original photo was taken by
Dave Pawlak, a freelance photographer who just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
Here is the Original ImageNow, after
8 Hours of work, a user by the name of
ciaffez has remade this image, but as a painting. Using a basic program called Corel Photopaint, he has remade this image in a very professional manner, from scratch! That's right, he started with a blank canvas. He even went through the painstaking process of filming himself making the painting.
Here is the Created ImageHere is the video he made of himself doing it. He doesn't have any commentary as 8 hours of someone talking would be excessive, however if you guys can figure it out from this 6 minute video "How to" do it, by all means get it done.
Congrats to
ciaffez for his unique painting. It's a super cool look and I hope we see some more of these photos popping up, but be sure to get the permission of the original photographers before using their hard work.
Thanks for reading,
