Ready Player One was a fun ride at the theater. Saw the film and came home to make this art frame piece. It all came together in a day (and a little drying time) and really looks the part.
The front plate has an egg-shaped cut through to match the back plate with an engraved egg fingerprint. Gap space left in between for the look through depth and slight lean back angle for presentation.
Very nice, love the layered look. Saw the movie (twice actually), and enjoyed it, but if you havenât read the book, do so. I enjoyed the book so much more.
The âhappy accidentâ effect:
Youâll notice there are 3 notches on the inside of the egg cut through (on the front plate). That was originally for a title area and I chose to use three bars to represent the three keys needed in the storyline. Type came out too small so I ended up breaking them off and sanding them down to just be nubs that represented the 3 count â and found that was actually a nice way to contrast against the laser âburnâ of the inner edge without full sanding or staining. Nice trick that weâll use in the future as well.
Let your artwork guide you⌠sometimes it just know what it wants to be.
