March 28, 2008 - Homage (illustration friday)

{click for a larger image} 03/28/08. I am still in an uncreative funk right now. The kitchen remodel is taking a huge toll on me. Home improvements are exhausting! Though things are almost done and they look great. Less that a week until we will have water downstairs!!!!
Well when I saw todays topic of “Homage” at Illustration Friday I knew this was a piece I wanted to display. The original by Roy Lichtenstein has always had huge meaning for me. He is one of my favorite artists and when I was in college this piece marked a personal milestone. I was not sure where I was wanting to go in the art program I was in and I drew this piece in pastels and it helped me stay motivated. After doing this I kept on going on got into a special program and it gave me the will to keep pursuing my passion. It sounds silly, but this piece has always given my strength.
This piece was the 6th in a group of pieces based on Master artist works that I completed in 2006. Even with all the works I have made since this is still one my favorites! I tried to keep it consistent with the original painting. Almost all of the blue outlines is made up of one continuous pieces and all of those red dots are hand cut. I STILL find red dots scattered around in my studio.
