Pop
art
is a style which seeks its inspiration from
commercial art and items of mass culture (such as films,
comic strips or popular foods). These
paintings either define us as a person, or define a place
or feeling.
My
first love is comic
books, the reason i wanted to be a
artist was the first time i saw Todd
McFarlane's work on Spider-Man,
i have spend hours and hours trying to perfect
drawing my favorite heroes, Spider-Man
and Wolverine. Comic book heroes have been around for
so long they have a fluid meaning for each generation, the
X-Men in the 60's made a statement on the race wars of
the 60's which still have relevance now but with a new template,
Batman, Spider-Man the X-Men continue
still in films and re-inventions
of the original stories now, and are influencing a whole
new band of artists. The heroes i pick to paint
well are all my favorites the ones i
pretended to be as a boy (and still do sometimes) hence
a lot of paintings or Spidey and Wolvie.................
i love them all. |
