Starving Artist

My photo
I'm a senior in highschool with an unhealthy love for illustration and comic books. My ispiration comes from surrealism, but lately my interests in psychology and art therapy have been a raging force in the subject matter of my work.

concentration 3

In this children's story book i tried to balance out the book by putting to images on either side of the castle. though the fairy is a bit small compared to the rose i think it turned out all right. I added massive shading to the interior and exterior of the book so it gives a popping effect to the 3d look i was going for. I do believe this reflects a childs imagination through the elements of art. by making each piece a cut out and forcing it off the page i think i achieved that effect.

Concentration 2


As his young imagination sores you can see it being reflected in the Book store window as he takes flight along side old world war 2 fighter jets. I tried to incorperate heavy shadows into the clouds and give the apperence of explotions. the chaos does tend to draw attention away from the center plane with the kid in it. I put the awning in so it appered to be a window.

#1

the first piece in my concentration shows what happens when you don't pay attention to your work. It eats you.......well in this case I just wanted to illustrate artists interacting with their work on a more fanatical level. I used water color pencils,water colors, and ink to make this work "pop" out a little more.

Dreams

Belief. In exploring the human mind I decided to study dreams and delusions. Something the human mind conjures up when our minds are shut down in sleep. I'll illustrate these dreams in water color. The possibilities are endless with this subject, but in this case I want to narrow it down to fantasies becoming a reality. That we might see our own creations come to life in our day-to day activity.
