Byte Magazine’s “Technological Breakthrough” cover re-created as a photograph #ArtTuesday

Bob Alexander at  Galactic Studios has been recreating Robert Tinney’s Byte magazine paintings as photographs.

The latest work is “Technological Breakthrough”.

Byte’s January 1986 issue had a focus on robotics. Mr. Tinney painted a robot claw hatching out of an egg. As I’ve done with several other Byte covers, I re-created Tinney’s vision as if it were real, and as if a photographer had been standing next to Tinney as he painted.

This was an obvious cover to re-create since Tinney had, eight months earlier, used the same claw design in a painting I had already re-created.

Or at least, so I thought. In my initial test photographs, I realized that the claw in Tinney’s Intelligent Reflections cover was much larger, in proportion to its “wrist”, than the claw in Technological Breakthrough. I had to either redesign and re-manufacture the claw, or Photoshop it. I chose to do the latter.
