Description

I dabbled with the concept of creating stereo painting for several years before I created my first piece.

I had never heard of anyone attempting this. I thought I was the first. I did a google search and there was no mention of what I had planned. I later found out that Dali, before he died, had a passion for it... gotta love him!

But...

he didn't have access to the tools at my disposal - Tee Hee Hee:)

How do I do it???

I mounted a pair of mirrored goggles in front of my screen and looked through them as I work in Photoshop. The source images come from a pair of photos taken at the same time with two cameras.

Why are there two images of each piece? I have included the original, to be viewed through glasses and a modified version. The "FREE VIEW" pieces were modified to allow fellow deviants to see the effect without glasses.

How does one FREE VIEW?

Stare at the painting and then cross your eyes so you see three images. Focus on the middle one. Relax your eyes a bit - be patient - you will lock it in like a tractor beam. Once you get it the first time it will becomes much easier. Move your head side to side and the piece will actually turn toward you.

THIS CAN BE UNCOMFORTABLE - ATTEMPT AT OWN RISK

The "Lincoln" piece was my first stereo idea long before I even attempted the feat. I wanted to see my favorite President in living color as if he was right there infront of me - the lap dance was my gift to the stoic icon. I didn't execute the idea until I mastered the skill.

My first actual attempt was the "Self Portrait". The effect... well, sucked. My second piece "Mirror Mask" was a different story.

Yellowtail worked out nice as well. "The Soul" also turned out nice (make sure you move your head side to side on this one - watch the guitar).

If other deviants want to see more, let me know and I'll bring out the good stuff:)

Cheers,

Daniel
