Every time I go to visit this guy to see his work or someone brings a piece over I'm blown away. Unbelievable stuff. Gorgeous. I hate having to drill it.

His work just gets better and better. His name is Arlon Prince.

That would be a form of marbling where oil paints are suspended in water ,or somesuch where the "printing "medium is suspended upon and allowed to whirl and then when the effect desired is reached then the articled is put in contact to grab the picture.Used lots for the inners of book covers in book binding but this seems a modern approach as the colours are almost alike laquers.

WOW !
Thats just too nice to drill holes in  :shock:

I second the " put it on the wall" idea, just put 'yer fuzz in a grey box with
a cheap sticker on it .....  !!!!

That painting technique always reminds me of this:

One of my favorite album covers.

There is also a little write up on swirl painting enclosures at www.geofex.com  :wink:

He doesn't use the dipping technique to get the effect.

Here are some end results of dipping...










I can't say exactly what he does (because I don't know) but he uses a giant frame and all the pedals lay face up on it. No dipping. The end result creates more of a 3D effect with layers on layers. The dipped ones have that characteristic "surface" swirl and lack the depth; the patterns of which, while random, are all similar.

I like them both.


By the looks of this one it seems he might be dragging a small sheet of something across the surface and the then lifting it. I really don't know though.

Gee, I guess it's not true swirl painted enclosures, is it? More like "drip swirl".

[ibanezts808]

I like it, but I don't know if I'd want it on a pedal i'm using.  Don't get me wrong, for other things, I'd love it, I don't know. it may take a while to grow on me.

BTW, I forgot to mention that I really dig the yellow/black swirls!
