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 #10

I wanted to go bigger with my concentration and with the layout of the picture i think it worked out nicely. I used a gradation of color (from blue to black) just to ease into the night sky rather than having it change immediately. the sun is the light bulb, which needs to change because it doesn't look like a sun at all. I have to fix some proportional stuff, but all in all I like the outer space ceiling. I also believe that the character stands out well for the first time.

Concentration #9

I tried more than ever to apply perspective for the city scape. I also tried to give a feeling of depth by putting in a floating car and bridges that overlap one another. The color scheme for the city was ment to create a sense of hight and the feeling of shrinking. I'm not very happy with the left portion of this piece manily because it makes both sides apper dream like when one of them has to real.

concentration #8

In this piece i tried to create this sense of space and contrast by cutting up the original then gluing it to a black paper. By using actual chalk I wanted to create contrast between the water colored pieces and the chalk illustrations. you really can't tell in the picture but the butterflies and some of the swirls are stuck on 3-d Os. I think the chalk part could have turned out a little better, but overall I'm happy with it.

concentration 7


Ok the top blue butterfly somw how fell off and ended up on sargentas wheel painting!(go check it out) any way i with the butterflies i wanted to craete a gradation of size rather than color to give this sense their coming off the page. some how I need to draken the back ground because it doesn't really stand out that well. Hopefuly I test new perspectives in the future.
