Prints That I Have Been Working On....

These first few prints are for my Digital Drawing Class.  We use different programs to create imagery and then we take it into Photoshop and make large scale prints from it.  It comes out pretty sweet sometimes.






These next prints are things that I have been working on in my spare time.  I hope to print them and use them in a show sometime next semester.







Hope you enjoyed.

Andy Warhol

This is a film called, "Blow Job" by Andy Warhol that I saw a few years ago and was reminded of this weekend. Check it out.

Keith Haring

I went on a trip to Pittsburgh this weekend with my sculpture class.  It was exciting and we went to the Andy Warhol Museum.  There I saw this sculpture of an elephant by one of my favorite artists, Keith Haring.  I love his take on the human shape with a more stylized stick figure and his use of color was obviously inspired by Warhol's pop art but still has a sense of something different, his own take on them.  He has also conquer tons of art forms from canvas paintings and murals to sculpture and ceramic work.  He  has even painted on live models and had his work turned into tons of clothing.  I love it and I hope you enjoy it too!

Robert Bateman

I came across Robert Bateman's work a few years ago.  I love the realism he brings to his paintings and the research he does to get each animal and thier environment correct.  His work is simply beautiful.











Kenneth Anger

I saw this film in my time class last year and I fell in love.  I love the undertones of homosexuality.  Even though his other films get a little sadistic, I really like this one.  Enjoy!

David Hockney

This artist is an oldie but a goodie.  Well I guess he's not that old since he is still alive but you know what I mean.  He has became famous not only for his beautiful photo collages but also for his naturalistic paintings.  He is one of my all time fav's so enjoy!


























This last painting of a tree is one of his latest works.  He also has invested in an iTouch that he uses to paint a digital picture everyday, that he sends to his friends.  Below is an example of this...

Brandon Herman

Okay.  This guy is amazing.  He takes photos that have this great sexual undertone and a sense of fantasy within them.  Everyone should check him out.  Plus he is pretty attractive. :P






















Ps~ I am totally doing this right now instead of my art history homework.
