February pieces

This month my two pieces are of rain boots and cigarettes. I started doing the boots in encaustics because I like the way that bright colors look in encaustics.. but I'm not really happy with how it turned out. Also.. still trying to come up with a way that I can say the rain boots are trapped.

Royal Robertson

I'm not sure if we have to make another blog post for this week, or if it is just the online critique... But I seem to forget a lot so I'm just going to do one anyways. But anyways, I went to a concert a while ago and the artist (sufjan stevens) performed music from his new album that was inspired by this artist named Royal Robertson. He had 11 kids, was a paranoid schizophrenic, and claimed to have a futuristic vision of a space ship with God as driver, when he was fourteen. Pretty interesting guy... here's his art

2 pieces

The first one is a comment about being trapped in religion (encaustic), and the second one is supposed to be how you can be trapped in culture/tradition (water color).
