Beau Tardy unveiling new Intelligent Art Collection at the Menil.

 
Beau Tardy will be showing his new collection Intelligent Art at the Menil on May 11, 2024.

This new collection of AI assisted digital art seeks to blur the lines between art & technology. Can art be made on machines? Who is to dictate which tools are used to make art? These seem like antiquated questions that belie the myopia that surrounds the acceptance of these news forms of art. The Menil is a veritable temple of 20th century surrealism and as such is the ideal location to premiere this new collection of ground breaking art by Beau Tardy.
 
Location: 1533 Sul Ross St Houston, TX 77006S. Saturday, May 11, 8–10 p.m. Main Building

Trick! New NFT by Beau Tardy, Artist.

Trick! New NFT by Beau Tardy, Artist. ©2022

The 'Trick' is that one thing appears as another. Is it real or is it Memorex? The digital dots carry the minds eye quite freely of the minds will. Why are you hungry when you watch TV? What are you thinking about now? Is it merely decoration or does it mean something else? Part of the LaPopSexTVArtShow collection originally premiered at Barrister's Gallery. 

Available now as a unique NFT (1/1) on Mintable.com by Beau Tardy, Artist.

New NFT at HicetNunc.art

 

First NFT minted at HicetNunc.art / Price 1 Tezos / Edition of 10,000

For me as an internationally awarded media artist the purpose of NFTs goes beyond minting recycled Tumblr gifs for nerd boys to collect. What I do and say as an artist is paradigmatic. 
I am a sniper. I see ten years ahead.

New NFT Collection 'Shiny Objects'

Shiny Object #1. Digital Art by Beau Tardy. ©2018-2021
I am close to launching my new NFT collection called 'Shiny Objects'. It features brilliant and unique digital art specifically designed for large format or mobile screen display. This series was created as part of an effort to create new art everyday for a period of six months. What I discovered was that in working this way, I could build momentum and every new piece is informed by the work created before it. The progression is not linear but the discoveries are sometimes surprising. It is a form of channeled creative freedom, which is very different from the way I typically work. This methodology is very productive and comes from years of doing digital work for TV networks and broadcasters, where there are demands on a daily basis. Doing art on a daily basis focuses the effort and is a great way to put together a collection of new work.

Only the best pieces will be made available. You will not be able to access this art any other way as all other online copies of the art contain watermarks and are purposely down-rezed (low resolution quality). This is the only way to obtain full resolution, non-watermarked, authentically sourced art directly from the creator to display as it was meant to be displayed. The first collection will contain 20 unique digital pieces and will be available to purchase as NFTs once I have decided which NFT platform to publish them will work best. I will inform you of the minting here on this website. Up until now I have been using Mintable.com but they have not been very helpful and so I am thinking of changing platform. Also my social media feeds will progressively shut down as I vehemently oppose censorship and their using my art for their profit without sharing any profits with the creators. I will keep you informed on this website. Thank you for checking in.

I will keep you posted and hopefully you will excited by my first official collection of NFTs. Keep an eye out and keep following me on this website as I no longer post on social media. Thank you!

MTV promo graphics for Guns & Roses in Paris contest ('92-93) made by Beau Tardy on Quantel Harriet.

Sometimes the Art Director of on-air graphics at MTV, Chris Harvey, would put out an open call for a job that needed some extra attention and a fresh look. I really wanted to do this graphic open for a contest MTV was running. It was for tickets to a Guns & Roses Paris concert. I spent some time on this but it was shot down. I actually had a little argument with the Art Director over it, the one and only time we had a disagreement. It did not make it to air and I'm not sure what they ended up using. I guess I took it a little personal being that I am French...😏

Heart of Flames new NFT Art

Heart of Flames - Digital Art by Beau Tardy

Just a quick reminder of this new NFT available at Mintable.app . Click on the image to be taken to my NFT store. Thanks for checking in!

I did this digital collage as a representation of the East devouring the West. The new subconscious gods of our imagination have been replaced with manufactured made in China detritus. Also Sonic has exactly the same proportions as Mickey and is a blatant copy. Heart of Flames by Beau Tardy 16"x24" print ready digital art available as an NFT.

MTV Show Logos by Beau Tardy in 1992

MTV Show Logos designed by Beau Tardy
in the on-air graphics department at MTV in 1992.
During the regular course of daily duties at MTV as a designer in the on-air graphics and animation department, I was often tasked with coming up with logos for show opens. Often these would be animated, but sometimes the producer just needed a digital logo to take into an edit session and composite it with other footage. These were designed on Quantel V-Series Paintbox and Harriett. The better producers would come in and sit during the session while I designed the logos, others just phoned it in. Some producers became friends and we would spend countless hours in session coming up with great ideas for graphics. These logos are for the more typical MTV fare at the time and were used by the News or Promotions department for their shows. I don't know which ones of these actually made it to air simply because I couldn't afford cable at the time in my little shared tenement apartment on Ave. B in the Lower East Side. They payed us very little and worked us like crazy. But I was happy to get my work on MTV in front of millions of people.

MTV on-air graphics created in 1992 by Beau Tardy.

On-air graphics made for MTV in 1992 by Beau Tardy.

Here's a good example of some of the behind the scenes design work that would go into on-air graphics. On the right the logo I liked for MTV's Most Wanted and on the left the one that was chosen for broadcast. I was already channeling vaporwave vibes back in 1992! This work was done on Quantel Hal as part of our everyday duties of providing producers with on-air graphics and original designs.

First minted digital art NFT - Beau Tardy Artist Poster.

 I have finally minted my first digital art NFT. This token is available for a short while as an auction on Mintable.app 

Beau Tardy Artist Poster
The first minted digital art NFT by Beau Tardy ©2021

I will be minting all of my digital art including brand new art and vintage digital art from my MTV days and before. I have been making digital art since taking the very first computer graphics class at Parsons School of Design, which then led to my career making TV art for the likes of MTV and VH1. This is a great way for me to share digital art with you without the risk of it being stolen and copied. The new NFT technology is going to change the world of digital art for the benefit of artists who like me have been hesitant to post digital art on social media because it is so easy to copy. Thanks for buying my art and feel free to ask me any questions about this new technology.
