More Art I Dug Up

I found all these pictures still stored on my ipod. I've forgotten what I named most of these pieces, but I'll put the names on them if/when I remember.

Ink on vellum.

Trying my hand at pop art. Acrylics on canvas.

Birch Trees

Acrylics on canvas

Masculinity

A lot of people told me this kite was phallic, but I really didn't intend it to be. I'll redo this one day. Watercolor and ink on vellum.

The Painted Bird

This was inspired by the Jerzy Kosinski book of the same name. It looks kind of bland though compared to its basis - all these sparrows or whatever birds they are (I don't like research or ornithology) would respond to the call of their brother but on realizing that he didn't look like one of them, they would rip the painted bird to pieces. I wish I could have gotten that action across in this painting, but it's really hard to make birds look hostile. Oil pastels on black construction paper.

The Yellow Wallpaper

This is my interpretation of the wallpaper featured in the Charlotte Perkins Gilman story of the the same name. I'm pretty sure you can make out the figure if you look closely. It used to be even more hidden but I tweaked it and made it a little more obvious. Watercolors.

Atlas as Woman

This is my most ambitious yet poorest piece.  I ripped the pose right off the cover of Atlas Shrugged. It's more appropriate that it's a woman anyway. I didn't want to rip off the art deco style, but in retrospect, it would have made this piece significantly cooler. The face is straight out of a Matisse painting. I'll give this another go one day. Acrylics on canvas.

I did this of Andrew when he got his new tattoo. He doesn't think this is a very accurate rendering. Acrylic on canvas.

Daruma Doll

I need to get rid of this painting. Everywhere I hang it, it's always falling down right when I walk past it and injuring me. It's incredibly vengeful for being brought into the world, so if you ever need an evil painting, you can have this one. Acrylics on wood.

Moon

I was working on an idea for a fashionable space suit - orange is definitely the best color for them. It could still be more fashionable though. Acrylics on canvas.

Acrylics and ink on watercolor paper.

Funny story about this guy. One of my high school English teachers actually wrote a story based on this painting and gave it to me. Really unexpected. Watercolors.

Andrew helped out with this one. He did the bottom left corner. Watercolors.

So that's my whole portfolio. It wasn't very popular with my art teacher, and I understand why. It's ambitious, but not enough risks taken or opportunities seized. Rubbish.
