Artist's Comments

The unattainable desire to fly, the desire to improve ourselves by imitating the birds, is both absurd and beautiful.

Dreams are ridiculous yet precious; in chasing hopes we create amazing things.



Part of my HSC Major work for Visual Arts. This guy is based on the White Faced Heron. For the work submitted for marking I removed the paper notes that are attached to the matte board.
This is one of three charcoal pieces. I love charcoal. The reds and whites in this are from artist's chalks which are almost as fun.


Materials: Charcoal, Cream matte board, artist's chalks, tiny bits of acrylic paint, feathers.
Size: With black matting around the edges, 70x85cm

(I apologise for the dodgy quality - these things are massive and my photography of art leaves much to be desired.)

:heart:

All I need to keep me entertained is music, anime, computer games, and silly videos on YouTube.

...

Yeah, the internet is good. :3

These are all so brilliant. The detail, composition and just.. the general way you've done these are so visually appealing. :)

Neato, and I think the feathers in these pictures are a nice touch.

90% of people...blah blah blah. If you're one of the 10% who laugh at these sigs but don't copy/paste anything...well, good for you.

I adore the sense of atmosphere and all the details and textures.

I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space.

Did the Department of Education want to include your stuff in Art Express? Cause if not, they should have.

Stay crunchy. Even in milk.

I cannot help but approve of heron-dragons. n.n This is a very beautiful project, and attaching your notes to each sheet is a nice little touch!

Beautiful dragon. It reminds me of Da Vinci describing how he make his dragons, picking up parts of different animals to create a surreal creature.
