The original drawing was based on a girl I knew yrs ago when I was 20 and she was 18, she beamed this mad smile about, she had a huge kind of curly 80’s hair do, I don’t know if it was natural or not, it looked it – anyhow, thats where the smile came from, but then the whole doodle turned into something more darker and adult!
You’ve got a Warhol kind of thing happening in this and past few series Ogden….variations on a theme! Are these digital manipulations of an original painting by you? Whatever, very kool results…
Its all digital, I draw something then use warps and stretches and layers and filters till it looks ok! Often things get darker as a side effect of the layers, or else it could be that contrasts hit my senses harder – I set out to do something softer in all honesty! Cheers John!
Ah yes, the colours were pared down due to some settings I was using – Warhol is very un-spiritual, but then I suppose you could argue he’s created a mystery with that mostly absence of spirit! I think I read somewhere he actually was very Catholic. I always want to see spirituality in my artworks, so I’m happy with that! 🙂
Usually when you do something like this I see it completely differently from end to end. This was different, like looking at sisters or multiple birth girls each individual, different emotions but related. It’s very cool. 😊🌷
I’m always pleased with the variety that appears when working, its extraordinary – or more specifically, the human face is sure an extraordinary subject! Someone talking on a radio station I like the other day mentioned humans express themselves with the part of their body known as the face! Well, yeah, true! Body language, thats great too – in fact any communication is a miraculous thing, funny how we take it for granted as kids, (or I certainly did) and then suddenly it seems so amazing! And it is! 😀 ❤
Thats going back a bit, yeah, her hair was amazing! Pity I never got to know her better, I went to a house party at her place, everyone got so drunk it was insane! totally off the scale, it was after a works xmas booze up, crap place to work, but the best laugh ever! She liked electro music, and romance, and I liked punk rock, and stupidity! LOL She told me my attitude was appalling, but I know she secretly loved me madly! 😉 Well, there’s beauty in the unapproachable, or something! ❤
Opposites attract, eh?! Work Christmas parties are notoriously insane, though not at my workplace. The NY office gets the crazy expensive parties and we get to go bowling, haha! Still fun, though.
