Description
Gerhard (Logiloglu) posted an experiment some days ago. That reminded me that i did similar things 25-30 years ago as well. So i jumped into the archive and scaned in some of the old ones. Bad luck for you - i will maybe post some more the next days. Only if you ask nicely... ...you can escape (or not).
Back to this one. That was a phase when i tried to do experimental portraits. I projected the grid with a slide projector on the face, mixed it with colored light and then used a candle light on the final developped slide. Learning by burning (a great song from German songwriter Stoppok)! It is a little tricky to do that, the time span from melting to completely burning is very short. But you can get some very interesting results (even with completely black slides) because all different color layers in the slide have different melting points.

You must of had quite some feelings revisiting your previous work. Your experiments look very interesting and I look forward to the mini series from the past. The effects achieved on this one are unique, The second and smaller burn throuh hole does strange things to the noistril size and lloks like a nose ring gone crazy.
Whoa, this is cool, Walther; love the color and light, what a terrific portrait,so unusual and compelling! (and more fun to look at than scraped wallpaper)
Marvellous effects, Walther! Must have been fun to go back and look at older stuff! I am asking nicely, more please! :^D
Uniquely different Walther! very well done indeed!!!
An interesting experiment with some amazing results. Did you experiment on a live victim? If so, all I can say is OUCH! Please do post some more of your experiments!
Hey, I really like this - it's very creative! You had the stuff 30 years ago and you still have it.Hope to see more. BTW, love that song 'Learning By Burning". :o)CC
wow,the burn effect adds perfect on this portrait. of course i want to see the whole serie you find. ist es nicht wunderbar das frer so experimentiert wurde ? Kochen,Waschen,Legen !heute im Computerzeitalter sind das richtige Hits, die bewrten ollen Kamellen.Es soll uns jetzt nix mehr dran hindern endlich mal wieder mit Farben wie wild auf dem Scanner zu malen.Vielleicht Farben mit einem Bild reingewurgelt. Du bringst mich jetzt wieder auf Ideen, mein Lieber. #:O)
Looks painful...lol. Has a dark feel to it, my friend. Makes me feel uneasy. Excellent work:)
This looks very interesting Walther! Keep it up!!
WOW!!! !!
