"I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them."
- Pablo Picasso, Spanish artist (1881-1973)
This is a kickass five mintue video by Scottish artist Reza Dolatabadi. Each frame is a separate PAINTING! Pause anywhere in the video and you are looking at an individual painting. Reminds me of some of the Tool videos...
From the artist, Reza Dolatabadi:
What if you watch a film and whenever you pause it, you face a painting? This idea inspired Reza Dolatabadi to make Khoda. Over 6000 paintings were painstakingly produced during two years to create a five minutes film that would meet high personal standards. Khoda is a psychological thriller; a student project which was seen as a 'mission impossible' by many people but eventually proved possible!

Who IS this clown?!?
- KJT
- Madrona, Seattle, WA
- KEVIN TIMMERMANS
I live on Madrona hill in Seattle. I'm married to a beautiful redhead. I've been a bartender, a waiter, a music store manager, an accountant, a landscaper, and a DJ at my college radio station. Currently I'm a graphic artist for Raleigh Bicycles, where I've worked since 2003.
I've been called a bum, but I prefer the term "bohemian."
I read, I write, I draw, I paint.
I ride bicycles and trains. I like to walk. I'm a cynical bastard.
I love to kayak, camp, and ski.
I like lederhosen and trees & shrubs. I love dogs. I love to travel. I love to eat & drink.
I believe that even vegetarians harbor a secret love of bacon.
History fascinates me, NASCAR bores me to tears. I've ridden my bicycle from Seattle to Portland in one day (210 miles), and I once ran a half marathon with only 3 days of training.
I became a father for the first time in June of '09.
Black humor makes me laugh; prejudice, racism and ignorance make me cry.
I blur the lines.
All photos were taken by me (mostly) or a companion (sometimes), unless otherwise noted at the time.

Makes me think of what our eye-brain connections do at each millisecond, what a time-lapse of those synapses and the retina would look like.
Could we slow the images down enough to paint each frame?
Thanks.
Wow. I can think of nothing worthy to say...other than...that was cool.
