A Continuation of Katie
Pepper Logo
I originally drew this character as a food self-portrait (which can be found in the archive!), but my mentor, Mr. Henderson, wanted to create a car decal for his truck (or should we say a tattoo for his car?). I decided to redraw the original self-portrait, and give it more elements of Mr. Henderson, and base loosely off of Pepper Pots from Iron Man (which became the central focus for the piece!). Then, we abstracted the colours, and created a closed colour scheme, which became a better abstract representation of an actual pepper, as well. And! The decal has now been printed (Thank you Mr. Henderson), and I have a few sheets of the sticker...one currently resides on my laptop. Any ideas of where to put the others?
Colour & Space: A New Series
(T-B: Katie (awaiting title, ideas?), self-portrait, "The Innovator with Lana Del Rey"
Hey all you kittens! I know it's been a while since I've posted some art...but, stay assured, I have been busy creating it! The title is to-be-determined as of now because I have just started this series. However, I can tell you my inspiration that sparked this series: this series, like the pieces themselves, are a collection of several different concepts. Upon studying colour theory, my professor had the class watch scenes from Fantasia (still one of my favourite movies to this day). I was really inspired by Walt Disney's colour palette and selection-rewatching scenes from this movie reminded me what a masterpiece the movie was, and how much I have missed viewing it. This series has also been sparked due to the music I have been listening to-specifially Lana Del Rey (thank you Rashawn for introducing her to me!). I feel that her music is very layered-as my art work usually turns out to be. I am also aiming to better my skills of using space and perception in my works (studying this unit in class, now). And for now, that'll do, Pig.
