029;; Untitled Today

Unless I absolutely can't stand it - this is the last in this series. :)

028;; Some Tragedy

I slept on this piece last night. It's original didn't quite make me as happy - but I think I'm okay with this finished product.

I think for the next few pieces I make I might try to venture away from smoke (even though it's gorgeous) unless I find the perfect stock to work with. Or get a result from the photo shoot with SM soon.

What should I do next? We'll see...


Oh. Last night, boyfriend mentioned how I usually take away the "parts" from girls. It made me giggle. I don't know why I do that. I think I feel like it's too personal then? Maybe too mature? I never want the focus of my work to be that she's naked. I want it to be that she's vulnerable. It's a large part why I always choose female models (save for 3? pieces in my entire portfolio).

They say art is a reflection of the thoughts in your head. I'm not sure what that says about me. Hehe.

026;; Breaking Apart

 

The lovely lady is twiggXstock from dA.

I notice that I go through phases of incredible inspiration, and then I lull about for a bit. I think I'm just excited about trying new things right now. && I'm absolutely in love with monochrome. Eep!

I got my redbubble store active and stuff again. I'll slowly be adding works to that. Some are on sale, some aren't. If there's something specific that's requested (and not a limited edition) - let me know.

024;; Save Me

I waited until it was technically Saturday! Though I haven't slept yet. I find that I work the best late at night. I always have. It's usually when I get strange urges to clean my room, too.

Anyway, another piece. Monochromatic is very different from my usual stuff. I like it. It reminds me of my old self a bit (style wise).

More pieces to come.

020;; Artist Inspiration: Martin Stavars

I know. I'm sorry! This is two days late now! I'm horrible.

I'm going to be really frank with you... I love this guy. He is amazing. He is a very nice guy and doesn't have that "I'm too good for you" attitude. Martin Stavars is probably one of the only architectural photographers I cannot get enough of. I've been envious of his talent and eye for cities forever. Okay, maybe not forever... but for at least 9 years. He is the reason I want to do architectural photography. Not even architectural, actually. Cityscapes.

I've never seen a colour photograph from him, and I honestly prefer it that way. There is something timeless that he adds to his images by the black and white or duotone colouring. I guess it's why I'm partial to old school darkroom printing too.

Anyway.. I could go on and on for a few pages of why I'm in love with his work - but I'll just let you see for yourself. :)

Want to see more of his work? Listed below are the most common places I see him update regularly. :)
