January - art

Two new art pieces that i've worked on over the last couple months. The first one is a portrait that I did for my sister. It's of her cat Boo and looks a lot like her. I haven't worked with colored pencil and construction paper since high school and I'm happy with how it turned out.
This is a piece I made for the show "I Hate Lucy", theme being love. I'm hopeful that this is going to be displayed on Friday the 13th at the Russel Industrial Center in Detroit. It all depends if i can get it from Chicago to Detroit. However I'm very happy with how this came out. There's a lot of hidden meaning behind the piece. The construction paper from behind has been wrinkled and there for is extremely weak and has even torn in several locations. The main character, i'll call her, has a blanket of hair protecting her, keeping her safe from her own feelings or the feeling of others; i'm not sure which. The stars above her are positioned so that it's almost like a triangle. I'll let you decide the rest for yourself.
