So, I started the following painting sometime during the first half of my senior year, hated where it was going, and relegated it to a storage bin where it sat, through graduation, the moving out of my apartment, the beginning of my professional life, and a few weeks ago, while digging through boxes I've yet to unpack from the move, I found it and decided to have another another go at it. So I basically collaged and painted over the original artwork and the result is what you see below. Well, the progress is what you see really. I'm pretty close to finishing, and I'm super stoked, since, as most of you know, I've yet to finish a painting. Yes, I went through four years of art school never having once finished a painting. I dunno, I have some mental block or something, completion anxiety, fear of finalization...something, who knows? Anyway, this is as far as I've gotten, so far:
Before laying in type:
I've been really obsessed with hand-drawn type lately, so I figured I'd mask off an area, hand-draw type, then slice out the positive space to create a stencil. I'm pretty excited about the result, and amazed that I was able to muster this much control with an X-acto. Note the random eyebrow brush. No idea.
