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 #6

this piece has three layers of paper each cut out separately and then pasted together to create the overall picture. i tried to make the blocks and the great wall the brightest and most intense objects in the piece. i dulled down the color of the walls from yellow to blue so it wouldn't compete with the other half of the drawing. i tried to make the little girl pop out more so she wouldn't fade into the back ground. I tried to blend the window in to the sky to make the transistion more natural from reality to fantsy.

concentration #5


i wanted emphasis on contrast in this piece, so i created the dream world in color and the reality in black and white. I tried to add an interesting effect with the under water city gradating into the classroom. wish i could have added more contrast in the black and white area, but overall I'm happy with the result.Oh and i used prisma markers, pencil, water color, pen, and (india ink to make it shiny!!!1!)

Concentration #4


Shes at school, but dreams of freedom away from her boring routine.I tried to incorporate repetition of structure with the bricks that repeat through out the painting. I used the same processes with the side walk as it gradates into the back ground. By creating a stark contrast between the two spaces by using different temperatures in color. PS. I used Sara Argenta as my model.
