Saw a video once of professional wall painters not using painters tape. Just hand brushing around trim then using a roller on the rest. I tried it when I painted my living room and I’ll never go back. HUGE time saver. I just kept a wet paper towel on hand to clean up any mistakes as I went.
I have an Interior Design firm in Mexico, working on mostly new construction homes and hotels. I swear I spend half my time putting up blue tape for tag pints for the carpenters to fix, and the other half taking it down. I literally have had painters tape dreams. I would hate this job but his work is stunning.
The voiceover says, or at least strongly implies, that he places the tape first and then draws, but that's clearly not the case as there is drawing under the tape after he removes it. Still looks really neat and is very well done, and the images are evocative.
He clearly draws, then places the tape and then draws A WHOLE LOT more. I think the v.o. was technically correct, the best kind of correct, but still very annoying, agreed.
Didn't see it mentioned in the comments. The song in #1 is from the album Everywhere At The End Of Time by The Caretaker. It's a 6 hour concept album about the descent into dementia. IIRC, this part is from the first act. If you ever have an afternoon/evening to burn, I highly suggest listening to it in one go.
I hate how divisive masking tape usage is, it's clearly a great way to add details. Meanwhile I once got a 0 for painting at school, because I used masking tape.
Agreed, and my apologies (not that I created these videos, but just my apologies to anyone who had their speakers blast music at them when the page loaded).
It was just headphones but yeah I had them loud :D Could hear it clearly even with my hadphones lowest volume on the knob. Still rad videos though so thank you for sharing
It's really striking, huh? I searched and searched for a time lapse that might show more of his process, at what point he masks over partially drawn images (like the floorboards or molding) and what it's like at the end, how he achieves the persistent dark shades, but no such luck.

The technique is absolutely impressive. Unfortunately, nothing but technique. Decorative, i guess.

#1 that sounds like the music from The Shinning. Good choice; extra spooky reveal

Great art and artist. Too bad the last video was voiced and written by AI.

Do not unmute. It's like someone asked ai to make a scratchy record of early music.

Just yesterday I removed the masking tape from the window trim in the room I painted five years ago. So, obviously I can do that too.

If HR Giger can use stencils, you can use tape
FoxySpirit
There is nothing divisive about masking tape. Your teacher was an ass.

I have had dreams that look like this
Jonson71
Your dreams are very precise!

OMG. I thought frixit was dead. I still have a half roll in the closet. So proud.
Jonson71
What's frixit? Is this the answer to @SkyeIngram17's question to me above?
DrewThe3DPrinterGuy
Those are neat videos but is the audio QUITE LOUD for anybody else? Especially in the first video.
Jonson71
Agreed, and my apologies (not that I created these videos, but just my apologies to anyone who had their speakers blast music at them when the page loaded).

#1 I loved the picture before the tape was removed. The windows looked dirty. And the they removed the tape, and I was like "OMG!"

SkyeIngram17
Did you happen to see what he uses to mask? I swear my masking tape does not do that lol
Jonson71
No, it looks so be some goddamn magic, not sure that helps.
SkyeIngram17
I’ll look up frixit, thank you for tagging me!
scotswahey
Could it be masking fluid? I've never used it but what he pulls away looks kind of flexible and maybe a little plasticky...
SkyeIngram17
Possible, but anytime I’ve used masking fluid I’ve had to rub it off, it’s never peeled cleanly like this for me.
