Research for Vector Art

A fun slap together movie from Tribble-Industries.
B-rated...maybe not.

Enjoy the music choices.

Done with a combination of drawn animations, screen shots from videogames, still picture animation, and color in animation.

1) Aircraft
2) Hummel Cannon (c Relic Company of Heroes Gold.)
3) Girl and Petal
4) Tank Battle 1
5) the Dangerous one
6) Screenshots from defunct game. (c Relic Company of Heroes Online.)
7) Helicopter
8) JadgPanther
9) Tank Battle 2
10) Coloring the Artistic Princess

Research in stop motion animation...coming soon!

Monetary Project- MP1/2

This is my completed Money Project. 

I went with a rather unique combination of industry and nature themes together. My initial project aspirations was for the development of a square type money design for practical use.  The design as shown to is 4x4 inch square. However the design as used by the public would be developed into a 3.5x3.5 inch square or a 2x2 inch square. The reasoning is that most designs for presses are rectangular [hence lower counterfeiting], but also a saving on production and space with overall design. Current rectangular bills are nearing a functional end. Also this technique could be used for smaller "bills" to create fractional currency. [ieg. paper "coinage"] Under 1x1inch squares or smaller.

Also the design will use the most modern methods of holographic imprint and Mylar sheet design...to create a virtually indestructible "paper" [because Mylar is a thin durable plastic like material.] that has inbuilt textures that make counterfeiting nearly impossible. Add to this...that a small novel alloy chip will be put on the corner of these squares. Which with its degradation and aging help authenticate the money to banks and commercial interests. 

1 Dollar Bill. 

5 Dollar Bill

Note: the front of the 5 Dollar bill is left on purpose with a single bar at its base. Such techniques can also frustrate counterfeiting, by incorporating non-standard variations of bill type to frustrate counterfeiting or make detection of counterfeiting operations far more easy for authorities.

10 Dollar Bill

 20 Dollar Bill

 50 Dollar Bill

 100 Dollar Bill

Also one needs to note the effort for all bills to have distinctly different denomination markers in unique shapes. Also color patters between the classes of monetary groups are unique. Yellow is a low denomination group bill or "change"bill. (1 and 5.) Blue is a mid denomination group bill...and makes up the majority of economic transactions in the economy. (10 and 20) High order denominations are uniquely colored to differentiate between their usage. The 50 is a "change" bill for the 100 bill. So its color denotes a lesser value. The 100 bill denotes its the highest bill transacted in the economy, so its color scheme and bill value marker are highly unique, but its color also denotes it is not a mainstay bill. (versus the blue 10-20 bills.) Color coding and design of a bill helps both consumer, producer, importer, and exporter determine the value of the bill on sight. 

RAW Materials

These are the bases for materials within the bills. Hand created symbols and codes designed specifically for use. This makes counterfeiting even harder since the flaws of the artists and transfer bleed over to the bills. Also as time changes so does written codex of the time. So  twenty years from now, the style of iconography will be similar, but totally unique. [Unlike any codified and rigid alphabet based system in the European sphere. More akin to the evolving style of Asian, African, and Middle Eastern writing styles and codex. Examples being the Chinese and Japanese calligraphy which changes only slightly over thousands of years looking at the modern era totally unrelated to modern writing, but it can be read due to its evolved style. And the shapes being understood as the pro-generators of the modern design.]

 Paned Glass

The Paned Glass effect was done with a stencil sketch to create the individual panes.

Currency Research

Our current project is redesigning the U.S. dollar either to a fictious or non-fictious style currency. Now currency has a lot of history. Here are some rather unique currencies from around the world.

Heard the phrase "money doesn't grow on trees?" well it was a currency system from Han China called the Money Tree. With the leaves being coins. 

1 Raam 

A unique currency from Sub-Sahara Africa.

Unique wearable currency bracelet from africa.

Historically the Chinese invented paper money, as this preserved example shows. 

A currency coil from Africa.

Korean Won interestingly their icons on their currency are famous scientists, officials, or philosophers from their past. As do most other currencies.

The ubiquitous Benjamin of the U.S. 

Now here is a very intriguing monetary concept, fractional (also called post or postal) currency. Paper money printed during the Civil War era. These range from 3 cents to 50 cents. Rather inverted from our projects conception of 1,5,10,20,50,100 bills. This currency actually costs less than making a coin. 

Japanese World War II Occupation money from conquered Burma (now Myanmar).

The Honduran Lempira

Modernized Chinese Currency

Japanese Occupation Currency from World War II. 

Han Dynasty Money Tree

The "extinct" German Mark currency

A rare example of a World War II Reichmark from Nazi Germany World War II.

An Imperial Credit, although Vader would not be pleased to find being equated to a dollar. 

Rare but still in circulation Jeffersons, the two dollar bill. [I have personally experienced them once and a while.]

Now this is something you don't want to see. Zimbabwean 10 billion and 50 billion currency bills. Caused by recent massive inflation in that country.

Now currency I think should be developed in a smaller compact design with novel technology such as Mylar sheets...to prevent counterfeiting and developing good mass use for all people including those with disabilities. (Mylar being practically indestructible and capable of being texturized.) Developement of the new Currency is going forward.
