Replacement Post
I had a whole post planned out and written for today, but it was maybe a little too sad. I'm not sure. I'm not aiming to sound like a diary here. I just have a issue when it comes to topics that are off limits. It feels good to cross lines something. Regardless, instead, I come bearing artwork and good news! I lettered in academics, which is exciting to a lame ass like myself.
This is just a pointillism project I did last year of my favorite author, Hunter S. Thompson. The picture doesn't quite do this justice. Though I framed it and scripted it with my favorite quote of his, "In a closed society where everyone is guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world full of thieves, the final sin is stupidity." I believe this got an honorable mention in the art show, under the category of "Free Project" (which has the most entries by far) for the Drawing and Painting class. This isn't too upsetting though, I also received third place in the same category for a painting I did on a large metal disc, as shown below. This time, the picture REALLY does not do it justice.

Why is there justice to be had? There is enough justice in the fact that these people are renowned enough to have people do renditions of their own face! Or album cover, or whatever. Hunter S. Thompson was a mere journalist and became one of the biggest symbols of the American Dream! I think you're artwork is a tribute to these people, and as far as I can see you are not patronizing these people in any way, so i think it is plenty justified. :)
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you! It's more like I feel like photos make my paintings look not very good , you know?
