Assignment for Interpretive. We had to take a popular song from the 1970's and illustrate the metaphor. My song was "Love Hurts" by Nazareth. I tried to make it look like even though we know love hurts we still put ourselves through it anyways. It's a very poor photograph. I should have probably scanned it, but I am apparently too lazy. I will probably scan it later and update it.
Drew this real quick in pen and then coloured it with marker. I really love how the colours turned out. I can't seem to escape my love for alice in wonderland...
QUE? I did something in watercolour? THAT'S RIGHT lol. I'm as shocked as you all should be ;)!
Okay so I get to celebrate the new year sick and stuck in my bed lol. I got bored so I did some art in ballpoint pen.
I call that perticular piece "Touch My Body" lol and YES it's like the Mariah Carey song. I also got a new sketchbook over the winter break! It's so sweet! It's made of this really sweet textured paper and bound with this leaf covering. It's really neat. Anyways, here is the only thing I like in the book so far :)!
WOW! FINALLY! That only took about... hmm... 6 months? I definitely didn't think it would end up getting printed but I'm quite suprised it did haha. I am so pleased with how it turned out. Definitely worth it! Here are some crappy shots that I took of the book. My scanner is back in Oakville (as I am spending the holidays in Ottawa) and can't scan it. I don't think I'm going to end up making better shots, it's just for your viewing pleasure :)! I was their featured artist so I am on the cover, the back image, and three images in the centre. I had no choice in the cover image so if you're wondering why they put that on there... I have no idea haha. I only gave them that as a filler. I didn't actually think they would use it, especially as the cover! To each is own I suppose :)
I have spent the entire semester just doing homework and partying, and the other day I realised that I haven't done any art for myself recently. Even though I had an exam today, last night I thought that my art was more important haha. I take my free time for granted. I look at the third/fourth years and how busy they are. A lot of them don't have time for their own art. I need to start being more passionate about where I'm going in life. Here's a start :)!!
