M.C. Escher Project: Brandon

This is a painting I did recently of my boyfriend, Brandon wearing some mirrored aviator sunglasses. This is done in oil paints and the glasses are done in acrylic paint. 2009

I had the privelege this year to use my talents to help make one of a kind gifts for orphans at the Tibetan Children's Village. Students were instructed to draw the orphan they were assigned and write them a letter, in hopes of a response, and maybe contact would be kept. The project is something special and incredible, and the portraits are one of the few gifts these children will ever receive. I will have completed three by the end of my junior year.

Demos and How-To's

I will soon be starting to post how-to videos on how to construct your own multimedia projects, and the possibility of hosting my own webshow offering updates on projects, an incorporation of how-to's and my typical randomness. Feedback is greatly appreciated!

Peace, love, and webshows,

*Each individual image was separately severed from magazines with an X-Acto knife, arranged on the matte board with tweezers, and glued to the paper with Modge Podge. The process took 84 hours to complete.*
