Imaginations Idealized, Fears Realized- The final Self Portrait

These are the final pictures of my Self Portrait. It is pretty different than the proposal, but as I was working on the wire sculptures I realized I loved them more and felt that they represented me well, and then incorporated the swirls from before. The manikin was an add on that I wasn't sure If it helped or hurt the piece, but it did happen to give it more meaning to me personally. Overall I could write and over explain everything but that defeats the purpose of art sometimes. I did feel however that I did not get my message across as well to the viewer as it was in my head, well not as well as the girl with the glass studded cupcake. It looked so delicious.

"Charlatans With Inflated Perceptions"- The first of the logos

The start of the Inflatopia project logos...

"Splatters of a Crime Scene"

The Final Posters.

"Grim Confections"- Color and Texture examples

Here are some of the color/textures I have been working on.


This isn't obviously all them but, I put time and care into making each one. On average it takes about 5 minutes to do one, so that is more or less. I don't like working like a lab rat in a room with 48 other people crammed into a room. If I wanted that I should have been a business major, planning a future as a corporate drone. Well enough of this, I need more spray paint.

"Before Electric Light"- I should probabbly update something?

Spring Break is almost coming to an end and I have been putting off this crap for as long as I can... I guess I can show some pictures of my "self portrait" I have been working on.


It actually looks pretty different than my original idea. I realized I liked my wire sculptures more and that the more I worked on it the more it felt like me. I don't feel like talking about it much because I feel that I never get what across my point as well as I can verbally ever, people just don't seem to get it when I do. So decide for yourselves. I feel like Andy Warhol and Velvet Underground with the feeling of nihilism about my work, except its not a persona I am trying to play... I just really don't give a s#*t anymore.

"Spining Rave Lights"-Finally some Color

Saturation Hue Value


Well now I gotta find some junk to bring for later

"Alien Spaceships Floating in the Skies"- My Calder Mobile

So my Calder Mobile is Done
And it was an imitation of this one

"Whats in the making of an Imaginary Soul"- A little bit about my "self portrait"

I am so behind on updating this pointless blog, mostly due to midterms, I have other classes and a GPA to maintain. So while my mind tries to remember what to even blog about given the many things that have happened in the past week or so I will start with the one thing I can remember that sorta kinda, not really, something like a, but so not 2d or 3d so it must be 4d or something, "self portrait" that looks nothing like you, but not abstract either. Yea the looks on the faces of the young hopefuls in the room were just as confused as that explanation of our next 3d project. Well I have some thoughts on what I might do for it, of course everything looks better in my head, because quite frankly my talents with 2d drawing are completely useless in this class.
