Paintings from the assesment, and Ceramic close up shots

Yes, the paintings. I love them to bits, i just wish i'd had more time... well, I wish i'd spent more time is more accurate. ANYWAY. here we go....

The first and personal favourite, the good old Mountain Bed. Originaly a painting of my bed, it evolved into a kind of, dream landscape. It looks safe, but staying in bed all day really screws you up. So im kind of trapped in this painting, behind those darn so good it has to be cancer duvee covers.
Cool huh? :D :D :D








Here we have the self portrait. Its painted from a photo of me looking really tired and depressed sitting in the union bar, i just thought it looked amazing and wanted to paint it. The skull mustache was added to give the image more resonance. And yes, big words are very cool. Im really dissapointed that i couldn't spend more time painting it, but you get the gist. The bar of light was an impulse I went with, i feel it helps the composition. Painting people is a lot harder than mountains and tower blocks, so expect to see more of this stuff. Im not giving up that easily mr trampoline.






I also submitted this painting, im thinking of calling it "Absense of Life" or "Hardware Deficency" or something. Its an other worldly painting based on my college union building. cool huh?





This is the finished (I WANT TO DO MORE DAMNIT) thunderbirds painting. I still dont think the central tower is right. But you get the gist. Its influenced from blade runner, and its covered in icons, like the school bus, and a black 2001 space ship in the distance. and thats that! those are all the paintings i submitted... well actually there were a couple of studies i made, but i'll save them for another time. ENJOY!!!

THE ASSESMENT - Ceramics

here it is ladys and gents, the one you've been waiting for...

This is a shot of all the little monsters and buildings and trains i made for my bloody assesment. Sorry its not that great a shot, but you get the gist.

We have several general-ted optimus prime figures, 2 in camo, one in light grey and black, and the prototype in dark grey. There is also an optimus prime head concept. Up at the front, is a train emerging from billowing clouds of smoke, influenced by Edward Hopper, and Batman. Then there are 2 towers, one a McDonalds tower in red, and an empire state building. At the back, a plefora of strange monster creations. The biggest monster of them all however, is the dark red glazed cacodemon beside the train. I'll give you some close ups and the paintings later on, as right now im in a hurry ^_^ STAY TUNED!
