splatter pop


My agenda for this week has two parts: (1) have fun!--which means doing things I've never done before, like cutting off the lower left corner; and (2) explore both "less is more" and "more is more." I discovered it's a lot of work to truly have fun. =laugh= This one is (obviously) about "more is more."

Background from a painting by Imran Quresh. Multicolored rectangles from a painting in James Hendricks's "Super Collider Series." Upper part of person from a painting by Jorn Asger. (Asger put the mustache and beard on, not me.)

The black confection really is a skirt: it started out a lot wider, like a huge metallic bubble. Of course I cut out the spiky hem.

Why purple boots and belt? For Prince... R.I.P. Sweet Magical Man.

    1. I'm afraid I don't know just what the skirt is made of. It was in a fashion pictorial on metallic garments, the same one from which I got the skirt for "fab."

  3. Love your tender thoughts on Prince and for a moment I thought you added the big splashes yourself, love them a lot!

    1. I wish I HAD created that splatter pattern. I'm a big fan of comedic splatter movies—the ones with lots of blood and lots of laughs—so eventually I'm going to need to learn how to make splatter on paper. What medium do you suppose it is? Ink? Gouache? I can't figure it out.

    2. I would say ink Fi, but like you I'm not quite sure myself!
