Hey,
im alive again.
i have such a weight off my shoulders now that my crazy collages are sort of done... (18"x24" collages about fashion models and dogs...yes....) anyways, ill show it tomorrow and hopefully it will pass smoothy. i am a little more happy with the result then i thought i would be, considering how painful the process is. i seriously do not enjoy that medium. and i guess i needed to try it to know that. just putting some stuff to embelish and smell rubber ciment is fine, but doing a hole piece with only ONLY paper cut outs and no actual drawing or painting...serious pain in the pumkin.
but...
this being tossed aside now ill be able to re-focus on everything else that i need to be working on these days.
SO, this is something ive been working on for a couple of weeks. i know it doesnt seem all that exiting or impressive, BUT THIS WAS NASTYER THEN IT SEEMS. making an actual "repeat" pattern work by hand, the old style way, is really harder then i thought it would. once again, this is sort of a painful process. but more fun, more in the puzzle-pain sens.
actually, my repeat wasnt really tight, once i scanned it in, i have to patch up at a couple, tones of places to make it work properly, i guess this isnt suppose to be...haha. but OK, this is my very first shot at this. and i intend to get better.
this is a wraping paper. so the roll is 18" long. (height) and my pattern is a 9"x9" repeat. its gouache and it had to be a floral.
(im sort of working on something more fun on the side, with the same technique)
as for the men, this is some watercolours and what not that i did, 8am on wednesday, freshly out of the bus from montreal. :)
i need to come up with a concept for a watercolour portfolio, and i've been thinking and researching about a 50's theme. my teacher suggested i do only menswear and men in general. i dont hate the idea, it would be original i think. (and a first for
me!) so i dont know what ill do. but i need to make my mind soonish.
