Saddam-a-gogo

Saddam!

Real - The Newest Key to Success

Let me introduce you to Real, the newest brand with the most to offer.  If the cell phone picture doesn't do it justice, it being printed on regular paper doesn't help either.  I got the inspiration for this from... well, anywhere, I guess?  The rest of the packages feature a very cool looking Fidel Castro and a very disturbed looking Saddam Hussein. Playing with their facial expressions seemed like the normal thing to do.  Hussein is shown above.  I got a serious kick out of this project!

Good-bye, Art Nouveau?

So I finally decided to do something with my statue, and turned it into a advertisement for a gallery opening.  Its reason for existing matched the show!  The show is not real, of course, as Art Nouveau "yielded" decades ago (Gaudi's Sagrada Familia shouldn't count at this point, since it's been a century worth of construction).   It was challenging and nice at the same time to use symmetry, since normally I find myself producing typocentric designs with an embedded avoidance of the symmetrical.  The statue itself shows a gradual shift from Art Nouveau to Art Deco; the next big thing to happen to Art.  You're invited, so get your time machines ready!

Perspective

This Church is a blend of a few churches I have taken pictures of.  It does not represent my ideal church, for I am very much a Gaudi fan and would rather employ the ever so beautiful Nouveau architecture, but a week is not a lot of time to pen a church out.
Medium: Microns, Markers, Stained Glass and Grass

The last two are not true.
