The Student Art Show

I had a winning entry! Which tickles me pink. It's actually the one that started out as a joke, and my accomplice was my friend Ev, who collabed on the whole thing with me. In the end it came out freakin' brilliant and so intuitive. Everything matched up perfectly, and we couldn't have done it without each other! They were both don on 14"x17" bristol board. We called it "A Smuggler's Advice from a Caterpillar at a Mad Tea Party in Seville". Based on that alone you can understand why this load of rubbish was a winning entry LOL The title is actually an amalgam of Salvador Dali painting titles, which I seamlessly wove together :P
It's AKA "The Wedding Ring" because it's this pseudo-lesbian two halves of a heart conjoining thing. Looked FABULOUS hanging up side by side haha.

 So the top one is mine and the bottom one is Ev's. Wish I had several views of Ev's but the quality is much better than mine since my camera phone sucks so I guess that makes up for it! 

Like I said, the whole thing started out as a joke, because as we all know all the hoity toity  artsy farsty scene people like their more traditional, as in photo-realistic with all the right supplies type art. So we went ahead doing something totally meaningless and contradictory to everything considered fine art by elitists. Lo and behold we even ended up digging it and even went into tangent story telling based on our main characters, gentleman cats and dogs that have been around the block a few times haha. Very furry of us I suppose. 

So the moral of the story is art is art is art! This has actually stirred the whole collaging fire in me and you can expect more where this came from! 

I just REALLY want to know what the jurors were exactly thinking when they gave this an honorable mention. LOL

Edit: And yes, the crap that did win was all the photo-realistic, expensive/sophisticated supplies type stuff. That anyone can do. Ha. I don't get why creativity is NEVER factored in.

Welcome

Yeah, so I made a blog for just my personal art, and just the art that fits the theme of being fully, or at least pretty, spontaneous.
I may even write a bit, just to get back in the groove.

Here is something I'll be transforming into a collage, since collaging is THE new* thing with me. I feel really connected with the process and result, as in it seems to suit the kind of person that I am exactly: random imagery assembled and interconnected to create a story, explanation, and/or new perspective. I really dive into the development of this kind of project like I've never before for anything.  It's something I do in my head all the time. It's so natural and invigorating.

*I remember collaging A LOT as a child. I still have a few of the collages I made. I also did cutouts to create a yellow, four armed aardvark based alien I was obsessed  with as a kid. I seem to keep revisiting ALL of the things I did as a child. It's like I've always been me, even before I was born.

Fair warning for those who stumble upon this blog, or to those I invite: I may get a bit angsty, something you will rarely see in person or on my main choice of art uploading pleasure, furaffinity.net. I will try to keep this blog as organized and art focused as possible, but I may burp up a little rant or get a little moody here and there, attempting to collect myself through typing. But this is totally a space for art, and I will try my utmost to keep it from being a sad place!
