Self Portrait: Wired Up


Title: Wired Up
Size: 14 x 14 in.
Medium: Pencil and Colored Pencil on a tan mat board 


After doing the self portrait for the 33 Contemporary show, I continued to explore other ideas that I had brainstormed for the show. Getting these ideas down on paper helped me visualize the different ways I could of approached my entry last June.

I decided to go for a more fun image and settled on one taken at a party. Then I added elements and objects that have been grabbing my attention as an artist over the past year. Stylistically, I am influenced by Charles Demuth. I actively try and emulate the way he uses the lines and planes objects create to divide and manipulate his pictures.

This is still a work in progress, and I will post a final picture when its completed!
