Muffin


This is my second independent piece and it follows very closely to my Go Bananas and Ice-Cream pieces. I tried to work with acrylic paint to create texture in the muffin, like I did with the ice-cream cone. I did repeating typography as well. With this composition, I placed the muffin more towards the top rather than dead center. I am also experimenting with some different compositional choices, such as the placement of the muffin.

Ice-Cream


This was one of my most sucessful pieces in my opinion. I really really like the background on this one. I deffinately did a lot of work with it, and I did some experimentation with india ink and tissue paper to create a cool effect. The ice-cream cone came out suprisingly well! However, I am not too thrilled with th lack of detail and color unity of the actual cone. I like the texture of the ice-cream and I want to contiune to work on creating texture in my future pieces.

GO BANANAS

I really loved creating this piece! I took a page out of my altered book and then further developed it to create the three repeating bananas. I used sharpie for the typography and acrylic paint for the actual bananas. My favorite part would have to be the marbled paper I used on the inside of the banana peel. I also enjoyed creating the typography in the background to tie all 3 panels together.
