First Kiss Process

Ninja March 2nd, 2007

first sketch: figures look too stiff + hey look, she’s got no arms

First Kiss Sketch No. 1

second sketch: the figures look a bit too elongated, the hoodie seems odd when silhouetted, + the pattern is not quite there

final print: ah, much better! the elements work out nicely + negative space balances out the composition

First Kiss, offset lithography art print
18 inches x 24 inches, printed on Classic Crest Recycled Bright White 80lb cover stock
Limited edition of 300, each individually signed + numbered

$32 + FREE shipping

I really enjoy how you put the other two pictures as kind of a work in progress thing, anyway, wonderful job, keep up the great work!

melliebee

I love love this!
however I am wondering what the print is on?
will it need to be framed?

going to keep looking around
just got a condo so these might go up on my wall :)

NinjaVsPenguin

hi melliebee,

the poster is printed on 80lb cover stock. It doesn't have to be framed, but it is heavier than regular poster paper.

you can order the print here: http://www.ninjavspenguin.com/...

thanks for looking!

I like the effects in the pictures. And yes, the third one is balanced perfectly!

i saw these pictures for about a year ago and fell in love with them.
I first notiched this time visiting that you are selling your work. I'm sorry I didn't see that...
But this holiday I got inspired and painted this beautifull picture on my wall, a bit bigger than myself. It's painted right beside my bed and I smile every day I see it. Thank you.
If you want to see this projekt, you can mail me on pernille_g_moeller@hotmail.com

Brittany

These are really beautiful i think i may be slightly obsessed with them, =P

Yoman

wow, this is beautiful and inspiring

Ninja

Inspiring? How kind of you to say! As always, thanks for visiting!

Hollyn

so cool- may I ask how the curls and flowers were acheived? hand done and scaned in or all computer drawn?

Ninja

Hello Hollyn & good morning,

Thanks for stopping by!

All the curves were drawn on my trusty Powerbook in Adobe Illustrator using the pen tool. I practically went cross-eyed trying to get all the transitions down. It wasn't until after the piece was printed that I discovered the spiral tool! Oh well, it was good practice.

Happy drawing,
Ninja

Fleur

wow...ok here's something freeky that really looks like me and my boyfreind...makes me want to kiss him. It's so pretty your a good artist type person.

Hi detroyed,

You're not alone! I've received a few emails from other folks about this, too. Too bad I didn't complete the first one (she's missing arms).

6'4"? Wow. I'm on the short side, so I'm feeling a tad envious now.

Thanks for popping in!

– Ninja

detroyed

i like the 1st one so much more!

maybe being 6'4" Ive always liked TALL girls

Ninja

Hallo Danya,

Good morning! Hmm, like a mixed tape? Sure you're welcome to post the illustration on your blog & thanks in advance for linking back to us!

Cheers,
Ninja

Danya

It's just fantastic!

Would you mind if I used it as cover art for a mix I'm making to post on a community on LJ? I'll give you full credit, of course.

Again, thank you very much!

Elly

Thank you so much! It's a not very well known song. It's called "Til the End" by Chen Da Wei, but sung in english. I'll post a link to the video here after I uploaded it.

Ninja

Hallo Elly,

Sure thing, you may use my image for your little video. And I appreciate the credit & the link! May I ask what song it is?

Cheers,
Ninja

Elly

Hello, I was wondering if I can use your picture (the final version) with a song I would like to upload on youtube. Of course, I will credit you and put a link to your website in the description box. No, the song was not created by me, but I cannot find it anywhere on youtube so I would like to upload it (I think it's a great song). Thanks!

Ninja

Hi John,

I like that E.E. Cummings quote! Good choice.

Thanks for visiting NvP & for your friendly comment.

Happy Monday,

Hallo Jason,

Good morning! Thanks for dropping in and commenting. Oh, if I only knew how to silk screen/had the materials, I'd definitely experiment with printing on different patterns. The idea had crossed my mind before (great minds think alike, I guess). If I ever do get to silk screening, I'll be sure to put up a post for you!

_______________________________________________

Hi Perfect Kisser,
Wow, I imagine that title is hard to live up to. ~__^
Oh, you're more than welcome to use our image (I just request that you link back to us).

I'm so happy to hear that you both are enjoying the illustration!

Cheers,
Ninja

Perfect Kisser

Hey, these are the perfect photos i was looking for. I have used it in my blog. Please have a look at the blog teaching us how to kiss passionately.

Jason

hello, just found an image of this while browsing google randomly, and i have to day, it's beautiful, i think it'd be really nice if you did a print of just the outlines, but print it on a piece of fabric with a similar design, ut colored, i really enjoy how you put the other two pictures as kind of a work in progress thing, anyway, wonderful job, keep up the great work!

Ninja

Hi Rukia,

谢谢你! I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Cheers,
Ninja

Rukia

This is really cool and pretty, i like it very much!!!!!

Ninja

Hi Missy,

What an honor! By all means, you're more than welcome to use the image as reference for your tattoo. Please send me a photo of it after it's done. I'd love to see it!

Also, here's a negative version of the image which may be helpful for the tattoo artist:

Ninja

Hi Munaa,

Why thank you! Hopefully, I'll get to posting some more vector fun for you to see.

Hey Collin,
Inspiring? Wow, thanks! If you're spray painting the stencil on your room wall or desk (basically, something that's your personal property), by all means, go ahead. But if you want to spray it around town, I'd rather you not.

Thank you both for visiting NvP!
Cheers,
Ninja

collin

hey...........would you mind if I made a stencil out of this immage?........it is rather inspiring

Munaa

hey!
Really Nice pictures

Ninja

Hallo Limxuxu,

Oh, no worries. You're welcome to use our image on your blog (as long as you're not passing it off as your own, vandalizing it, or hurting anyone). I'm not really sure about how it could be used to hurt someone, but I thought I'd throw that one out there for safe measure. Ah, and much thanks for giving us credit on your site!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Cheers & have a lovely evening,
Ninja
