TheArtist

ETA April 2009:
I know it's a million years later but I updated this with a non-shit photograph so I could make prints and show it a bit bigger.
I'm not as fond of this piece as I used to be, but I do think it's really a big stepping stone of my artistic career, and I know so many people liked it :' ) Thank you all for your lovely comments.



<sub>hey, it's more schoolwork! and a lame title to boot!

this was my drawing II final~ we got to do whatever we wanted, so i opted for some nice tasty watercolor illustration.
i got inspired to do this concept (and it took me such a long time to get an idea, i was very frustrated) because a cardinal sideswiped my head. i love cardinals but damn.

i used myself as a reference for the sketch, which was done at 3 am the night before it was due (what did i tell you? frustration!)

mixed media~ dumpster cardboard (yay), watercolor, old tea, graphite and collage.

art (c) me
no birdies were hurt in the making of this art. just my eye, as i squinted into the compact mirror in a dimly lit room.

thanks for looking</sub>
