graffiti self portrait pastel on paper 18x24
here nor there pastel on paper 18x24
These are two drawings I did for my Basic Drawing course this semester. The top one was a lot of fun. The assignment was to make a "marble" bust of ourselves. I decided to toy with this notion of the self-memorial by blowing it up to a massive scale, but then having it defaced by New York subway graffiti artists of the 1970's within a farmland landscape. Mainly it's just wacky.
The bottom one has to do with the notion of always "twinned" by your former self. For good or bad.
