An Artist

I honestly had trouble about connecting a real artist with one of my groupings, but I've decided that the closest thing I can compare it to would be the Pop Art movement of the 1950's. More specifically, Roy lichtenstein. Lichtenstein is an American Pop Artist who was born on October 27, 1923 and died on September 29th, 1997. The work he did was heavily influenced by the style of comic books and popular advertising, similar to Andy Warhol's work with Campbell's soup cans. Though he wasn't the biggest name in Pop Art, him and Warhol's works were both used in U2's PopMart Tour in 1997, which brought a new generation of people to his own brand of Pop Art.

My Breadth So Far

Looking back at what I've done so far, I wouldn't say I've got a theme going quite yet, even though most of my stuff has to do with something weird or creepy. Other than that, I've tried my best to keep as many medias involved in whatever I'm doing. So far, I've done chalk pastel, charcoal, pencil, colored pencil, pen, and water color. My favorite piece I've done yet is probably my latest(ish) one I did, which was both chalk pastel and pencil. I'm not sure why its my favorite, but it is definitely the piece Ive done that has taken the least amount of thought to make. the funny thing is is that I did a 13th piece today because I thought I was behind on my breadth work. I forgot to count my summer work and thought I had to finish 4 works tonight. I thought that was pretty funny.
