Just Lovely

Lovely - Ink, colored pencil, markers - ©2014

Good afternoon! How are you guys doing?

Today, I'm pretty awesome considering I finally finished this weird piece you see above. Trust me, it gets creepier the more you look at it. The inspiration behind this is my love for cosmetics, eye makeup and the slightly absurd. And now apparently the slightly disturbing.

As you may have read in earlier posts, I graduated college and now no longer have the excuse to say "Well, this art was for an assignment." Now I have to own up to what I create and provide appropriate commentary and reasons for creating what I create. 

Art is like therapy or my own personal time. Because I haven't painted in a few weeks I was surprised at the stuff that came out of my pen. I titled this piece "Lovely." Lovely refers to my sarcasm and to the ever important point that nothing is quite how it seems. It symbolizes the duality in the world. You may only see a beautiful eye, but after a while you might notice the deadly creature and its victims... Oh, just lovely. *shakes head at self*
