This piece is inspired by a comment that an instructor made during class one day, "When you're a real artist, you'll have to spend money on your supplies." So for now I guess I am just pretend. It started out as a sketch and then a more traditional digital painting in Painter X with the new bristle tracking tech. That just was not working for me and I thought of a street pop artist named Shepard Fairey. So I put my own twist on his style and feel pretty good about how this turned out.
For those of you that do not know, this is one of seven or eight pieces I created for a portfolio series to gain admittance into a higher level degree program. I am currently a Bacheler Arts majors and will be a Bachelor Fine Arts major in painting, drawing and printmaking.
