How Chris Burden Created Metropolis II, A Tiny City Where 1,100 Toy Cars Zoom. The blogs have been buzzing about California artist Chris Burden's toy-car megalopolis project, Metropolis II, for ages. The latest news: A collector bought the installation for "millions" of dollars, but was gracious enough to donate it to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art for display over the next 10 years. (Whew!) But what does it take to design something like Metropolis II, and what does it all mean, anyway? It took Burden and his chief engineer four years to make Metropolis II. The first question is easy: It took Burden and his chief engineer Zak Cook four years of R&D and construction in Burden's studio to make Metropolis II.
(Burden, a performance-art superstar who once had a friend shoot him in the arm in a gallery, is no stranger to following his artistic means to extreme ends.) Burden doesn't have any particular interest in transportation or urban planning, he says, although he has used toys in his artworks since the 1970s.

Friedman. Steve Johnson Media - Home. Color Picker Versatility | Tools Tutorials. The vast majority of the time, the vast majority of us use Photoshop’s Color Picker in the default configuration. Perhaps we use Custom Colors to select a spot color, but when using the Color Picker itself, we ignore the eight optional modes. (What? You didn’t know that the Color Picker has different modes?) By default, Photoshop’s Color Picker opens in Hue mode. The color field, the square area to the left, shows variations in saturation from left to right and variations in brightness from top to bottom.
When the button to the left of S is selected, saturation is displayed in the color slider and the color field is used to determine hue (left-right) and brightness (top-bottom). Click on the button to the left of B to switch to Brightness mode. You can also use red, green, or blue as the basis for selection in the Color Picker. When the color slider is positioned higher, the component color value is higher than zero.
Note that you there are no buttons to the left of the CMYK fields. Mick Mountz: The hidden world of box-packing. Features | Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended.

Noble Desktop | Computer Graphics Training in New York. Portraits of snake charm worth elephant-killing bite. Rowan Hooper, news editor King cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) - the world's longest venomous snake (Image: Mark Laita) Talk about taking risks in the name of art. In the course of his work photographing snakes, Mark Laita was recently bitten by a black mamba - one of the 10 most venomous land snakes in the world. Bites have been known to kill a human in under 30 minutes, but luckily for Laita it was a "dry" bite, where venom is not injected. A lucky escape (Image: Mark Laita) Laita says he finds snakes so evocative and sensual that photographing them - in zoos, serpentariums, anti-venom labs and private collections - is worth the occasional close call.
If the photos help publicise the plight of reptiles, so much the better. "The jury is still out regarding why populations of some snake species appear to be declining whilst others appear to be relatively stable," says Reading. For more of Mark Laita's snake images, see this week's magazine.
