Some of us were engaged in burning in childhood - they created drawings on a wooden board using a special red-hot needle. An American artist is doing about the same thing. Paul Chojnowski, only he uses real fire and water, thirsting for copper pipes.
Everyone knows that water stops fires. Everyone knows this from early childhood, but only Paul Choinovski guessed to use it when writing his unusual paintings. Rather, he does not write his works, he burns them out.
Moreover, it burns out in a completely unusual way. It sets fire to wooden planks, part of the surface of which is covered with moisture, and then, as it burns, adds more water to this or that place on this surface. Thus, it slows down or stops the combustion process in these places altogether.
A poorly burnt or not burnt surface at all, which is logical, has a different color compared to a normally burnt one. It is due to this effect that Paul Choinovsky creates his painting. And, I must say, he does it perfectly!
Look at Choinovski's work. Can you believe that they are created in such a technically complex way, as we described above? The accuracy and confidence of the lines of these paintings evokes surprise and respect for the artist. True, to achieve such results, Paul spent fifteen years perfecting his technique and the ability to own it.
Just as nuclear scientists learned how to create a controlled process of atomic fission for the needs of nuclear power, so Paul Choinovski learned how to control the combustion process for the needs of his creativity. And, of course, this process is no less painstaking and time-consuming than the process of burning several thousand drawings on bread toast to create an animation clip of the geek group Ok Go, made by director Geoff McFetridge.

Bald men and water wigs. Water Wigs Photo Project by Tim Tadder
Anyone who is not afraid to wet their heads is bald or shaven-haired men. It's just business that to get a bald spot wet with a napkin, and then wipe it with a rag. And also men rarely fool themselves and those around them with the subject "I have something with my face here" or "I'm fat in this photo." This is probably why American photographer Tim Tadder tried on his Water Wigs photographic project on hairless men
