Third Idea

I have become a huge fan of Doucin Pierre, http://www.soemone.com/ His work is just amazing, I found a tutorial on how to do one of the many effects that he has made his own. And I want to try and do a series that is like his but with a different twist to it.  

Second Idea

I'm a huge sports fan and haven't really been able to add that into my work to much because sports are not seen to be a fine art. I believe it is because every sport has a different art form like for example, football when a running back gets the ball from the QB he has to try and get as far as he can while trying to beat out the defense. With every stride he has to sometimes juke pass a defender. This would be a different stroke in terms of art. I found an artist that paints certain athletes and sports, Stephen Holland. I just bought a tablet that I'm still messing around with but I want to do what he does but with a computer and done a little differently. Here is a link to some of his work: http://www.fascinationstart.com/Stephen_Holland_

started messing with the tablet and this is what i have so far still going to work more with even if i don't end up doing this project.

                                     

First idea

Knowing that this semester I was having to figure out what kind of project I wanted to do on my own, I started brain storming during the summer here and there. A lot of my friends have tattoos and I started researching and realized there hasn't been anyone I could find that turned tattoos into a fine art degree. I was thinking about doing a series of tryptic's while in some introducing mixed media with one or two from the series. My thought was to have the tattoo up close and personal in the middle probably in black and white, then on each side have one shot of the person and the other dealing with the tattoo. Because a tattoo always has a story that runs deeper than the skin and I want to try and achieve that in my work.
