Final Project - Self Portrait
Here is my portrait.
I liked the style that I did on the gig poster, I like to trace it right off the photograph rather then running it through photoshop to reduce it to levels. I am a science/astronomy nerd, and am always looking up at the stars, so I thought I would include that in my portrait. I also have a habit of always trying to find patterns in things, and the pattern has been a favorite of mine for a while, so I included it in the sky. The sweatshirt I'm wearing took a good portion of my time, I didn't include the logos the were on it, but I like the way it looks without it.

Project #4 - Gig Poster
I made two versions, I'm leaning towards the orange and yellow one.
My inspiration was from Shepard Fairey's work. He generally uses a monochromatic color scheme, which is why I made the red one, but the other one seems to work better. Shepard Fairey creates a kind of mixed genre combining graffiti art, political art, and media art. He often draws people in his compositions, which was the main influence in my design, and I tried to let it grow from there.
Genre: Media art, graffiti art.
Artist: Mos Def - hip-hop artist
some of the pieces that inspired me:
