I’m Calling This Done! Just Needs Some Varnish And I Can Do A Good Scan.

a gif of the process of my self-portrait

I will post a scan of the finished piece tomorrow, when I feel like I can deal with the undertaking that scanning a wooden panel will be.

"Amateur Psychoanalysis"

self-portrait, acrylic on wooden board, 11.5 x 18

This is the first finished painting that I've done in over a year. It was inspired by the work of Jenny Saville, Francis Bacon, and Nicola Samori. My intention was to create a piece where only certain parts of the image were fully rendered, so as to show the various stages in a painting. In this case, only the left eye, the mouth, and the ear are complete; every other part of the image is left at an earlier stage of painting.

As for the title and the smear of the right eye... I don't know. They just kind of happened. Since the start of the piece, I envisioned the right eye as a smear of white paint. The title is how I referred to the piece mentally as I worked on it.

the first sketch of alien moon, fueled by boredom during the closing shift.

originally, I gave them really long fingers, but eventually I decided against that.

and also a very silly short comic.

Did I tell myself I would wait to post these until I’d completed a couple more pages? Yes. Did I get impatient and post them anyway? Yes.

Aaah! My first risograph printed collection of portraits!

Slap Your Cheeks for Color -- $12.50

A collection of 16 portraits. Due to the nature of risograph printing, each print is slightly different, making each zine a unique art piece.

This is the first in a trilogy that I hope to print and take to the Seattle Short Run. Orders of this collection help fund printing for the others!

Printing services by the wonderful Colour Code Printing, who did a bang up job and were incredibly helpful with talking me through formatting.
