Stripies

So a few weeks ago I was hanging out with my friend Cassie and we decided to paint some canvases that she had to decorate her kitchen. We also decided to use up her masking tape for our designs. I painted this stripey cat picture. It was a technique I used a lot in undergrad and forgot how much I enjoyed it.


Then, when I was about to start another similar painting, I thought to myself... "I bet I could do this on the computer way faster and easier." It was true.

I made this bear picture in Illustrator in less than 15 minutes. Later, while hanging out with Cassie again, I showed her how easy it was to make by making another one for her in a record 5 minutes (possibly less).

So then I went all out and spent a good chunk of time working on a Stripey Crab. But I saved every stripe as a separate file so that I could put a movie together of how I made it.
