hashima island above though you can t access the little yellow pegman from that map use the link on the upper left of or below the map view larger map and the map will appear on your monitor drag the little yellow man onto the map let go while he s over a blue area and start exploring find an interesting subject area change it all you want or paint it straight up as you see it instructions are in the sidebar to the right any questions ask em in the comments or email me directly this month we tra vel to the abandoned mining town of hashima island japan since this is october and we here in america celebrate halloween at the end of the month i thought i d choose a spooky location this location is a unesco world heritage site and was once a home to more than 5 000 people it has been abandoned for decades now the concrete buildings and ruins make for a dramatic scene through street view you can wander around the ruins or delve deep inside remember be careful of the view you choose there are many user submitted pics make sure there is not a person s name in the upper left corner of the screen above where it says street view user submitted views are not allowed under the rules of the project thanks important please read the following it is necessary to stress the importance of a couple of rules one is the image size issue it states in the rules in the right sidebar on this blog that the image has to be at a resolution of 72 and no larger than 1000 pixels on the widest side submissions not following the rules will not be posted ignore the blue dots google has added every user submitted photograph to the maps in the form of blue dots make sure your reference comes from the actual street view application and not a photograph thanks also each artist must include the url of the location that the artwork is based upon to find the url is easy in the maps mode while looking at your scene you have chosen click the link button at the top left of the screen check the short url button with that link highlighted simply copy it and paste into your email with your submission how do you not lose your location click send with your view up and email it to yourself if you want a link to your reference included with your information please make sure you include the short url for the reference with your submission using the new google map to get a short link to your location in street view you need to do the following while in street view click on the three dots in the box that shows the location name in the pop out box then click share or embed image click on that and in the box that pops up make sure the share link tab is active then simply check the box for short url copy that link and paste it in the body of your email submission and send to yourself so you don t lose your location below is another option for getting a short url if you use google chrome browser install the short url app makes it really easy to grab a short url from any page you are on so there you go should be extremely easy if your submission doesn t show up on the blog please check the list near the top in the sidebar entitled don t see your submission this could be the reason thanks thanks again to google as they have given their permission for artists to use street view as a reference for paintings that can then be sold without fear of copyright infringement and thank you artists for participating remember participation is open to all levels of artistic ability now let s have some fun posted by billy guffey at 10 04 am 60 comments labels hashima island older posts home

website etc and link to the virtual paintout blog contact me total pageviews the main rule the main rule the artist must use a view found through google street view as the reference for the painting or drawing artwork created from photographs not acquired through google street view will not be accepted user photos found as thumbnails in the upper right hand corner on some views and now indicated also by the confusing blue dots are not acceptable google earth views are not acceptable either the whole point is to walk around the streets using google street view in the pre determined area as if you were actually participating in a real life paintout thanks scroll to the bottom of this page for the current map don t see your submission this could be the reason the image is not a jpg file the image is the wrong size your name was not included the image was imbedded in the email and not added as a separate attachment the email did not include a url link to the location used in the artwork instructions for attaching url link at the bottom under the map here the image is blurry the image is not cropped properly only art please the image wasn t attached to your email the artwork was not

a larger map vpo artist locations to view the map of locations of the artists who have participated in the virtual paintout click here google approves using street view for art google s legal team has confirmed that artists can use images from google street view as reference for creating paintings and drawings and the artists can sell these works without fear of copyright infringement claim from google one thing that needs to be made clear if the artist shows an original view on which a painting is based i e the original screenshot make sure to keep the google logo and copyright visible on that screenshot no logos or mention of google is necessary on your art itself as an example if you show your street view art in a gallery and want to show the reference beside the painting the reference would have the logo not your painting the team is very excited about the concept as am i followers virtual paintout on facebook virtual paintout promote your page too the purpose to gather in one area of the world virtually once a month with other artists to paint or draw a scene and composition of your choosing within a predetermined area you may put as many hours into the painting as you wish you ve got a month ________________ each project will begin on the first of the month and will end on the last day of the month submit your art during the month and it will be posted once the monthly location has ended no more art will be accepted for that particular month ________________ this monthly project is open to all no matter the experience or level all drawing and painting mediums are acceptable with the exclusion of computer created digital art a new city will be posted monthly to get to google street view go to google maps find the city zoom in and drag and drop the little yellow man in the top left corner onto a street a pop up window will appear with a 360 degree photographic view you may then travel the streets looking around to find your composition ________________ since you can t save a pic from street view i ve found the easiest thing is to take a screenshot of your monitor screen to do this with a pc simply hit alt print screen open a photo program and paste into a new document with a mac press shift command 3 this will normally create a pdf that you can then open with adobe acrobat or a photo program you may also take photograph of the scene as it s displayed on your monitor screen and open it in a photo editing software program and work from that you ll see that some verticals may need to be fudged a bit due to camera distortion submitting your art all artwork should be sent to me at bnguffey windstream net and should consist of an attachment of a good quality jpg image adequately cropped to show nothing but the artwork i will not post out of focus poor quality photographs be professional make sure your name and website blog address are included with your submission also be sure to include virtual paintout in the subject line no large file sizes please do not exceed 1000 pixels on the widest side please keep the resolution to 72 also thanks a url of the location is now required with each submission it s easy to do just click the link button in the top right corner of the screen in google street view that you are painting drawing copy the link url and paste it into the email with your submission you can easily click the send button in the same location and email the link to yourself so that you have it on file for digitally challenged individuals there are many helpful tips on the internet regarding the resizing of photographs a great link that should be used for this purpose is here we must limit the number of artworks submitted to 3 three pieces per artist per month blog archive blog archive
