April Jurascals for week of 4/23 through 4/28 as seen in the print edition of the Auburn Citizen, the newspaper of record in Auburn, New York.
This week I've been able to create art with different styles that really benefits from the new color printing system for the newspaper.
The above two Lichtenstein inspired parodies are two of my favorite comic strips I've ever done! I recommend checking out Lichtenstein's work and you'll see how I was inspired as well!
The above was a reference back to Warhol, saying goodbye temporarily to Pop Art and jumping into abstract art with the bottom two.
I created both pieces of abstract art for the above two pieces of work. For the first 4/27, I used fingerpaints with my son, placing them all on paper I normally use for acrylic paint. Then I mixed the paint together. It didn't work out as intended. Then for some reason I just decided to "rinse off" the paper and as the water removed the top coat of paint it revealed a really interesting pattern. I took a photo of it with my phone, then tried to print it out but because the color ink was running low, it changed the color and created a new piece of work which i happened to like!
For the second, my "Jackson Pollock' inspired piece, I tried to do the "drip method" of painting but with my paint choices, it didnt work so I used brush strokes trying not to create a "pattern". Then took a photo of it, printed it (see above-same thing happened), the color looked different. So i painted on top of what i had printed out and then attached it to the comic strip. For the third panel, the pattern on the fridge was done just on the computer.
Next week: SURREALISM!
