This is some of the most ingenious ideas to use this new form of digital language. I cant help but think about the similarities of hieroglyphics of the past to these digital codes. More languages like scripting and these QR codes have been invented in our lifetimes than any other.
ReplyDeleteI liked this very much, and I constantly produce & carry ready printed or written notes for various kinds of situations, for sake of convenience.
ReplyDeleteIs sharing scientific information on masks uncourteous? If it's not,

Great Idea!
ReplyDeleteWhile plein-air painting this summer a dad explained to his 5 or 6 year old; 'No he's not a real artist. You have to be dead to be an artist.' ...that father would likely understand your QR code better than art. ...I love the QR code idea.

I've been following your blog daily and watching you on Utube for a few years now. Thanks to your blog I even bought your book 'Color and Light' and recommend it to all my adult painting students. Keep your posts coming. www.toddtremeer.com
James, I'm wondering how you would respond to 'Can I take a picture of your work?'
ReplyDeleteI remember this was the only time I was probably a bit rude to a passer-by, since I felt him photographing my painting directly was somehow disrespectful, or somehow stealing (maybe related to copyright, but I was and am still unclear about how I should feel about this). Thanks!
Unknown, first off I think it's nice that most people ask before taking a photo. I don't mind if they want to take a picture of me and my whole easel setup, as long as they don't try to take my attention away from the painting for too long. I would have a little problem with them photographing and/or posting a closeup of the painting itself while it is unfinished, because my paintings usually go through an awful phase. You can always ask for their email address and send them a finished scan or a link to a posting.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Todd. One time a guy asked me and my wife Jeanette as we painted side by side: "Are you friends, or are you married?" Hard to answer that one.
I've thought about just having a sign that says "It looks better from six feet away."
