Introduction

This is Part 1, of KIZZ, Living Alien Letters, The Original Twelve Series, Full Colours.

In the year 2002, during the hot summer, KIZZ came into my mind, what I created back in 1993, plus six more that amazed me, all in highly refined colours. I quickly went to drawing them, sketching them out, then thinking intensely about how best to make them better than my first six. The new KIZZ came to my mind highly refined, I “saw” them laid out, perfectly, with lines of colours that blends with the next lines, and I knew I could do it, I could creates them correctly.

Each image took seven days. Twelve weeks. I worked on them from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to sleep. I started with one image, worked on them until it was finished, then went to the next, and then the next, and then the next, until I finished all twelve. I painted them during one of the hottest summers on record, I think. I sweat and I slaved, yet I enjoyed the process. Nothing and no one stops me from working on them. It was amazing. Even books don’t bother me, usually I’m addicted to books, reading books constantly. But not this KIZZ that never stops intruding into my life. I had to create them, completely. Then I was done.

For a while I was confused, what am I to do with these? I had some ideas. Get them printed on boards and sell them. Not practical. Too expensive. I tried many other ways. Until I hits on the idea of scanning them into my computer and then worked out what to do with them.

I played with a software called IrfanView, and swapped colours, and did all sorts to create more colours for the KIZZ series and it just snowballed from there. Eventually I ended up with thousands of images.

At first I scanned at 72 DPI. I discovered it was too low a resolution. I tried 100 DPI and worked them all through the IrfanView, then I realises they was too low a resolution, so I upped the DPI to 200 DPI, then eventually settling on 250 DPI, the most I could hold the files in my computer at the time. Bigger DPI would mean bigger hard drive, which I didn’t have at the time.

I took my computer to Delta Computer Systems, (a company that was willing to let me pay off my first Desktop PC computer years back), and they upgraded my PC to XP Desktop, and it was great, but the work was tedious, so I'd have occasional breaks for weeks or months at a time, reading books to catch up on. Eventually I created all 32 folders, plus extra folders for the swapped colours, from a to e.

The count is 2,234 for the Full Colours, though it was a lot fewer before the Black-and-White sets came in the future (2017/2018) when it occurred to me to add them.

Then I left it for a few years because where was I going to show these off and make money as an artist? I had no outlet, just creative energies that just grows then dies, then grows, then dies. I had no internet connection, no dial-ups, nothing. So I put these way and went back to trying to write, a career I was trying to get started for years, and read books, of course. I’m such a bookworm!

Then 2017 came, and I discovered Digital Crypto Art, and I thought I could uploads my work and finally be well received. I uploaded my work on KnownOrigin.io, and since they was nice, I’ll just wait, okay.

Anyway, here I thought I would put all the KIZZ here, this way you can see my work and while they're small, at least you can see them, okay.

I'm waiting to uploads more when KnownOrigin lets me know the five random images there are sold out, okay.

For now, this is how you'll get to see my work here. Full Colours. Part 2 will be White Background, and Part 3 will be Black Background.

Part 4, 5, and 6 will be same, but with all 12-in-1 image, that way much easier to see everything.

I hopes you'll enjoy and likes my work very much to rewards me handsomely.

Thank you for your time looking at my work, regards to you and yours,

Merry KIZZmas!
