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.
