My surrealism project. It is a plant with arms and legs that creates cities and civilizations on asteroids. It was supposed to resemble a kind of video game background. Which I guess it does.
So to achieve this image I drew the back ground in photo shop, and used the Blend tool, and Smudging tool to sort of fade and create the feeling with the stars and other space anomalies. Then I drew both the asteroid city, and plant of appendages and scanned them into the computer.
For me it was very difficult to size the scanned images to where they fit the way I wanted them to into the background. It was also difficult to blend the scanned images into to make them appear as if they belonged in this landscape.

Influence Map, just a few of the things that make what my art is today. Everything that you know influences me.

This is my Day of the Dead Project. I painted a generic Grim Reaper, onto a dark blue background. I painted my twist, or view of how the opening to the underworld may look like. Then I created the sign in the back, and used the Text tool to do the writing. I used the Smudge tool throughout, to create this.
