Just getting back from a drawing class and I'm exhausted. Blah.
So getting onto our the throwback! Today we have ourselves on of my favourite paintings that I did throughout my last year in VCA. I have posted this somewhere before (most likely on my tumblr) but I have yet to talk about it or post it here.
This beauty is my space cat. For the assignment that I made him for, we had to bring in an object to class for someone else to use to appropriate a piece of it to use in a painting. So when we went to grab someone else's object to appropriate, I grab some guys shirt with a lizard on it that looks pretty much like the lizard above with some funky shapes. So just going off of a lizard and some funky shapes, I didn't know where to go with that.
I was so lost and I was getting frustrated so I decided to look at photos of cats on google (pretty normal right?). So as I was scrolling through photos of cats I eventually found a glorious photo of a cat in space. So with that in mind I was like "THIS IS IT" and I used it as my muse.
And there you have it. There wasn't really much though to it afterwards but everything just kind of fell into place and it was glorious. I remember when I was posting progress pictures on facebook everyone was like "are you on drugs or something?" and it's like pfffft no. But that was a lie haha.
What kind of drug was I on you might ask? It was Art. Art is one hell of a drug
I also remember someone in my class too wanting to buy my painting off of me but I refuse to part with it. It's my baby and I refuse to let it go.
I am really contemplating though making another one to go with it maybe sometime in the future or eventually reworking it a bit more and updating it. But I don't know. Too busy right now to do anything about it so whatever.
So I hope you all enjoyed that and I'll see you guys next Thursday. Maybe even earlier then that if you're lucky!
