senior art show

I realized that I never actually posted a photo of my painting that was accepted into the FIT senior exhibition. Here it is! I need to take better photos of it! It is oil paint on cradleboard with rabbit skin glue gesso

daft punk portrait school thing

I've been doing this painting for class and I'm not super excited about it, but I'm just trying to get it finished enough to turn in! It's turned into a digital painting exercise more than anything. It's way too similar to the photo than to call it anything else... My prof is cool with it since it's just supposed to be a poster-type thing. I slapped on "Daft Punk" in katakana because I'm sick of looking at this piece and I just want it to be done *bad example* WE CAN'T ALL BE PERFECT! I've discovered that I reeealllly like digital painting! It's super fun. Here are some progress pictures and the photo that inspired it and that I heavily referenced:

what it looks like right now

stiffff as hell

the photo

I remember seeing the show, super cool. This photo totally brought me back. We were right in front in the middle! Best ever. Coney Island 2007 waaah! I wore my Anamanaguchi T-shirt, of cawse

painting progress

Here are some pictures of my model painting from today's class!

crappy under painting-drawing, I ended up wiping it off and redrawing it higher on the board

spent too long doing these today... "what I wore" or whatever... my mom gave me her funny fuzzy tiger sweater from 1990

I have another blog

About fashion and lifestyle related stuff. Or is that dumb? I don't know if they should be combined or if I should just have two. I don't want to bore art people with "blah blah blah my hair!!!! I ATE CAKE TODAY!!" etc.

gahh well I already made a post on the other one so so
