i thought i'd post up a lil more of my work - nothing in particular, and in no order ^^

this is from my 'acrylics workshop' basicly i know how to use acrylic paints - so i spent a happy few hours chatting, then did this in the last hour or so, just to show willing -

i like this image for a few reasons; firstly i think the composition works quite well, also, (a few other people have also said this,) i like the juxtoposition (long word ^^) between the detail of teh maiko and the rough ness of the background.

this is a piece i did for composition theory; teh brief was to portray a small mouse about to be eaten bu a BIG rat; the original thumbnail 'skech' i did is this :

apparently the composition was "a little to perfect", ie the composition was too comfortable for an uncomfortable situation (do you believe it?)

anyway, i had to play around with the composition to make it more tense.

the piece is acrylics and texture paste on mountboard. i love texture paste - with a 'dry brush' is gives teh impression or a really 'worked' piece, with mininmum effort; to illustrate:


detail of mouse

aint it cute ^^

this is, i think my largest pieve so far this year - it's just a little larger than A1 - it was basicly the work from our 'wax and oil pastel workshop', where for a day we were let loose with tissue paper (the base) , wax crayons and oil pastels and an iron :D
being teh poor student i am i had bought my wax crayons and pastels from teh pound store, and as is unfortunatly yrh case with art materials; money = value ; i found out quite soon into the class that my oil pastels contained more wax then my wax crayons did!
not that tha made much of a adiiference - i think it turned out quite well. i tend to think of this piece now as a warped self portrait, good luck trying to interpret that ^^.
a few pics of detail (sprry about teh awful photos)
















this is a kinda personal image - it was part personal work, but spurred on by a project we had (unfortunatly never handed in)

the image is a re-hash of an image i drew a couple of years ago, when i was going through depression.

the original picture:

the image is titles "Angel, Falling" - the idea was originally to protray the feeling, the pain of falling further, in my case into depression, or into disspair. the wings of the angel are becoming blood; they are bleeding away.

im still not sure how to portray this.


the main reason i have not as yet finnished this piec is because as soon as i try to open the file, photoshop trhrows a hissy fit!

once i hace it all working, and finnished, i will be sure to post the final image!










just a quick composition of two (of 8) thumbnails i did for colour theory that i thiygh worked you quite nicely.
i think this'll do for now ^^

i will post pics of my Maiko project up as soon as it's all been marked ^^
