re-do

So I re-did 2 of my images. I'm not quite sure how I feel about the sleep walking one-although I am enojoying the new little guy I sketched and added to the one that says sweet dreams. alakjdfaoiehrfiah

maybe finished

So I guess I'm pretty much finished with my 3 images. I'm worried they aren't as cohesive as I was intending. I think the image with Alvin ( my giraffe ) is sort of a play on counting sheep-although I don't know if that is easily read. The image with the green lettuce background and Andy walking through the page was meant to be read as sleep walking. And my final image with bbc ( the teddy bear ) flying into the image , and the faint water/sky overlay was meant to just be an image of a dream.
I'm in class and just trying to clean up some of my selections that were a little sloppy.





So..i have to change a few things. the lettuce background feels a little too harsh for the dream sequence. also-the fact that andy is looking at the viewer makes it feel as if it's not a dream. i'm also trying to make some more sketches like my giraffe to incorporate.

sweet dreams

not sure...

i lost my job

I guess aside from the portrait aspect of my collages I'm trying to incorporate a relationship between people and animals. There isn't any physical interaction between the two in my collages but just an implication of a relationship. Also in my photography class I'm working on a series of images of my dreams and I wanted these collages to have a dream-like quality to them. Still trying to achieve that though and I'll have my third image up by tonight.

progress critique assignment 2

finally i figured out how to upload these.

weekend work

I've been working on my 3 images still trying to figure out what direction it's going. I was trying to follow that of Loretta Lux but with a different color style and maybe a little more modern twist ( if that makes any sense ). I'm out of town and forgot my flash drive to upload images but..pretty much what I'm doing is portraits-with altered color to make them look very vibrant-and with very textured backgrounds. I'm also trying to incorporate some animal form in each of them.

project 2

I'm not sure yet whether i want to do my series on food or weird creepy portraits. An artist I'm really in love with is Loretta Lux. Her portraits sort of freak me out but I love them. Here is a link. http://www.lorettalux.de/
