Thank you very much SILKY, Redneck & Klow...Earlier, I passed along all the extremely kind comments to MEAR and he said "he really appreciates it"

I'm really happy to hear that as well and would like to convey my personal thanks to you all too!!!

Here's a little more background on the mono-distortion series and process:

The best way to describe the methodology and technique of the mono-distortion is MEAR is basically becoming a human screen-printer without any screens or equipment needed. It is very similar to the process of screen-printing, except MEAR paints out every step and layer by hand (and all mono-distortions in the series are original, hand-painted works).

First, he will always create a completed prototype (pictured in the initial post @ the top of the page). After the prototype is completed, he will then start building each piece out, layer by layer. He will do some pieces in the series from start to finish (for our photography and documenting of the process) but most are done in a series of one component at a time. This keeps a very consistent flow and also allows him to spend an equal amount of time on each piece. It also causes him to be very free in terms of continually varying some of the different hand embellishments that make each one so unique. Further, if he see’s anything or (from taking a second look) is not exactly happy with even a small detail, he’ll put it back in the stack and go for a round 2 to perfect it.

"New World Disobedience" by MEAR ONE

“New World Disobedience”, a limited series of 22 handcrafted mono-distortions (a hand painted series of replications) will be released this upcoming Tuesday, December 14th.

This piece culminates several earlier mono-distortions by combining the iconography and landscape architecture with the rebel character.

Hmmm... either i keep refreshing my emails and chipping my nails for you-know-what, or I could live with these. Very nice process pictures and video, and even nicer art.

[Daniel Silk]

Would be nice to see more Artists do a few videos like this Really helps people get a feel for the art, and understand the processes involved.
