The 21" x 13" print can be purchased at my new store! store.thebigpugh.com

This piece inspired the login illustration that vimeo commissioned from me for their redesign earlier this year; it is still in use throughout the site. The video is a condensed time lapse of screenshots over a several month period. Total physical drawing time is close to 40 hours and I'd add an equal amount of time for concept time and readying the print. A screenshot was taken every 5 seconds, which actually results in a full 18 minute video, but I shrunk it into a video under 7 minutes for entertainment's sake. The full video can be found here: vimeo.com/1015679

My life has changed a lot since i started this, so I thought it appropriate to include my friends, family and loved ones since they all were on my mind throughout the creative process. Enjoy!

    I love watching the time on the bottom right pass by. Also love seeing you create different elements but then deciding to just trash them (like the hurricane/water spout at the end).
  • Mangrovehouse 24 days ago
    After several viewings, I finally found the hurricane. The creator changed his mind...thank goodness. He must of been raised in Florida. Now rules the Universe.

    The part where you started making the little island right after you did the hair follicles blew me away. The entire universe is pure repetition and you really illustrated that in this. Amazing!

    So much tiny details. I loved seeing all of these worked on at such a large size and then to later see how tiny it ends up being. Like the woman and cat for instance.

    Gonna watch again.

    I thought that the "Science Machine" was going to be a new and exciting feature for Vimeo.

    - That was surprisingly entertaining!

    - You made me realise just how much I suck at illustrating!

    - I absolutely loved the cut-outs to the faces and eyes

    Chad, did you use an applescript to take your timelapse or a screen capture app? We're about to document an open-source art experiment (beyond this silly timelapse of our first attempt: flickr.com/photos/daverau/2400136065/) and I'm trying to find a good Mac solution.

    Awesome work and nice documentation!
  • Scott McLeod 24 days ago
    It's Vista, (unfortunately).

    I'd be using a quick applescript in combination with Grab. Probably really not too hard to set up... (considering "Capture Screen" is a keyboard shortcut I think?)

    Bookmarked that print for a later date when I have $45 I don't have earmarked for beans. And I will most definitely return and buy it then.

    Great video too.
