Artist's Comments

I'm no good at coming up with meaningful titles, but oh well.

This is an art project i did for one of my classes. Teacher let us have free reign over what we wanted to create, and i happened upon gallery and she had some really fun pictures (i really recommend browsing her gallery). I'm really appreciative that she allowed me to use her picture, and more so that she liked the edit that i did.

Originally i wanted to do either a stencil or vector of the picture but i just didnt have the time. I might consider touching it up with vectors in the near future. Still, i showed the printed version to my peers and teachers and they thought that my edit was good so i'm happy.

About the piece itself. There's really no direct meaning/symbolism behind it, but i was inspired to do this based on some research i did on the classical art style i love and admire: Chiaroscuro, which i learned influenced Silk screen printing, stencils and other art forms (such as comics in Sin City) so i based the theme of this on pop art/stencils. Though instead of using dramatic, intense lighting like in Chiaroscuro i borrowed from pop artists like Warhol to use dramatic colors and simple shapes to convey something visually.

I hope you all like. I'm happy to recieve any criticism about the piece.

n___n thanks darlin'. Originally i actually planned to have this is black and white or in duo-tone (black, white and blue tones actually).. but i'm glad i decided to add more color into it.

Follow me through the white
and i'll lead you into the black
There we can sleep through the night
and from there we'll never go back.

I love it. XD Art that balances a detailed, blurry, organic and shaded look with a clean, defined and flat look has always captured my fancy, although I've never been able to pull off anything like what you've done here.

The blurry look was sort of by accident.. kind of, not really. Initially i added a very light blur to the girl to smooth out some details and near the end as i was finishing the edit i was having trouble with some of the coloring blending and ended up adding more blur. It looked cool so i went with it instead of actually fixing the problem xD

=3 glad you liked the design btw. You need to post more of your stuffies *bugs*
