Kelsey: The Movie

This was a large format self portrait done in water-mixable oils. It's on a 30" X 48" Maronite board. I wanted to approach this self portrait in a more illustrative way. It's inspired by movie posters like the kind done by Drew Struzan. Rather than imitate his style, however, I opted to make each aspect of myself in a different style. I think I turned out pretty well especially under the short 3 day time frame.

Getting to know me

As I work towards getting a website up and running, I was repeated urged by friends to get a blog going. I didn't go for the idea right away. I don't like that word: blog. It doesn't have a very nice ring to it like some words: echelon, kerfuffle and flabbergasted. But eventually I was convinced and here I am. I will gradually be posting newer stuff and I hope having a blog will encourage and motivate me to actually DO things. However, for starters here's some older work, all self-portraits from 2005-2006. I see it as a good first post to get to know me.

The media are as follows:

1. Oil on masonite (april 2006)
2. Nupastel on coloured paper (Dec 2005)
3. Coloured inks/watercolours on watercolour paper (April 2006)
