Week 17: Influence to Results

Okay, so this was finished last night but I didn't get around to posting it. The remainder of the work only took five minutes, but as per usual with me I kept putting it off. And now I'm not sure if it's the least bit obvious what it's supposed to be. This is why I usually draw rather than do anything else.

The collage at the top consists of what's inspired me through the years, mostly cartoons but a few artists and my father as well. That's a sort of... abstract outline of myself in the middle and the bottom collage is my own work, notably was has the most obvious influence from the images on top. Hopefully the glasses are at least somewhat of a decent visual cue.

Week 17: In and Out

Technically what I posted this morning was done yesterday, someone just forgot to update her blog for it. I'm also not finished for the day, but things need to dry before I continue, so here's a second entry for everyone. Even if it's finished tonight, there won't be another update until tomorrow.

Week 17: Still Kickin'

First, let me assure you that I'm not dead and the Weekly Art project has not stopped, not by a long shot. It's very much alive and well, as am I. Having almost an entire week off was wonderful and so was Easter. I hope you all had a great one, too.

Second, this week is going to be quite different. The idea occurred when I read about an art contest at my school on a bulletin board. However, I read it about three days before the deadline. Rather than forcing myself to rush through the concept that developed on a walk home from work, I decided that using it as a weekly art piece would be a better idea.

To avoid giving away too much, the only explanation I'll offer so far is that it's two parts collage and one part illustration in ink. Other than that, a progress photo is all you get.

Hope you enjoy the ride, and thanks for sticking with me!
