Studio Practice: Experiments

I will be changing these sketches into Digital Drawings using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.

• ripping the cartoon out of myself.

• Me standing in the middle ripped in half One and one side Having a samoan Warrior and the other side have a Maori warrior both pulling my arms.

• Sitting on the chair and arm grabs me into the computer/Mac

So For this experiment its more like me vs Animation and the animation is myself just in cartoon art form. For me this is going to be interesting only because its my creativity that will determine who will win this battle.

Demrick - Gleamin'

I really like how he uses double exposure for his music video and to make this relate to my work for the comic strip is that i really like the use of effects and that i will be working on are front cover or even having are image on its own experiment.

Studio Practice: Project Experiment

I have Completed the first part of my idea that i have done with musicians that have been murdered and for me it has been are really emotional ride for me to research and find out how every single artist was murdered. With all the emotions running i am proud to say that i respect them more than ever and i will continue to do such work like this that makes me connect with artworks. 

Right now i haven't chosen are name for this work as i will be putting them together all in one to create are story. I have added my signature name onto these piece of artworks to show that it is official and because they have passed on and every person gets their name on their tag. So that is the reason why i have added the tag on every musician. Putting are halo above them to represent that they have passed on.

The following people have always been there for me through thick and thin so whats the best thing to do is to do some work about them because they have played are big part in my life.

In 2010 i had the pleasure to meet my best friend who is the person on the right side of the bottom photo. And from there we studied at Best training institution in Manukau City. From there we have grown they have had kids and jobs and i am the only one studying unfortunately.

Mcflyy is are united states based artist who creates his works around animation and really brings images to life. This is a few of his works that i will be thinking on how to relate it to my Hip Hop is dead and just doing the face of the musicians that have passed away. Having the face itself gives the viewer are chance to explore the images.
