Blog #9 Bansky Quotes by Josh Fay
Banksy is a phenomenal street artist and studio artist. He is most well known for his stencil graffiti which often lampoons established ways of thinking. If you don't know who he is, then you need to find out (if you have any integrity as an artist). The picture that I chose for this project is one of Banksy's infamous rats. All the words used are quotes from this enigmatic guerilla artist.
Mandi's Self Portrait
I had a lot of fun with this project. I actually started with a Chuck Close picture... that took me all of a few minutes to finish. It was fun but way too easy. I needed more of a challenge. So I wanted to see how many different artist I could emulate in the time period we had. I did end up going over a day or so (partially cause I forgot my flashdrive with my almost finished project at home) but I liked what I came out with. There is references to Close, Warhol, Lichtenstein and meshed it all together with a David Salle type collage. I am please with the end product. It has the actual pictures of me, but also has many references to my life. Toys of my kids, Pooh with a tattoo, a wolf which I drew shortly after finishing my Native American spirit quest. All in all- it's me!
