This in turn will drive the reorganization of said supplies.
In the midst of the fun and exciting reorganization party, I noticed I have never used the two black and white oil sticks inhabiting the space within my plastic case for the past 6 years. So I peeled them open and began with my second-ever attempt at a self-portrait.
The sticky, smeary substance (near impossible to clean off your hands by the way) leaves bold markings, almost cartoon-like, as I played with chairoscuro highlights and shadow.
This inspired strange thrash metal portraits, contrasting the bright stage lights of a dark venue.
So I have expanded my horizons using new media. It's certainly not my best work, but it is probably the first time I laughed out loud, realizing every project doesn't have to be taken so seriously.
