I probably have to add more blood still, but I don’t feel like cutting my fingers anymore.
The Sunday Mourning Paper
worked a lot into the shirt. I’ve never tried this or heard of people doing it, but when graphite is on top of paint, using a wet brush you can really move it around. Having fun with this one.
I just realized that the amount of cans of SpaghettiOs in my cupboard might be a problem with trying to get a girlfriend. Should I change this? Probably. Will I change this? Probably not.
Note: This is only relevant if I were to ever get a girl over to my apartment in the first place.
Note: Also, eating said SpaghettiOs uncooked, out of the can, probably in my underwear, in my bed and most likely watching Seinfeld is some fucking Next Level Shit. That alone should be what gets me a girlfriend, or at least over to my place.
First of a few posts. Grand Rapids Street Art. Lino Cut. Dumpster’d Paper. Wheat Paste. Let the Wild Rumpus Begin.
way lots to see if i had a better camera, or you were to see in person. unfortunately you won’t get to see it in person as i’m mailing it to my cousin in Virginia. unless he takes a picture with a better camera, here is my shitty webcam picture.
process: get upset with self, put paints on fist, punch board, put hand in bucket of paint, throw paint, punch some more, throw some more, let dry, spray paint on a plastic bag, dabble wet plastic bag on board, put marker drips on board, let dry, sketch out figure, paint out figure, throw a little more paint, paint the white to left of figure, curse at how it looks like shit, show cousin. end.
work in progress titled, “Drop.”
Yes, that is real blood. Yes, it is my own. How did I get it? I punched myself in the nose over and over until it started bleeding. I probably shouldn’t take shit out on myself but I was really upset and I wanted to make something. So I got out a piece of paper and laid down the background for this piece.
This is my final project for my Figure Drawing I class. The assignment is a Self Portrait and required we use any of these materials; graphite, charcoal(subtractive drawing), conte crayon on toned paper. I said fuck those materials, I’m going to use the paper that I painted my blood onto, and with the blood on the paper I can’t really get a clear drawing seeing as it’s pretty dark. So, I had to use some paint to block out the figure. I chose to depict myself in the act of ‘retrieving’ the ‘paint’ for the background.
here is what I have so far.
I’ve been reading to forget.
