FUMETTO'S SECRET STAR

This years Fumetto filled my heart with joy: There were knitted portraits, sausage-installations in lifts and a wooden case filled with ex-boyfriends, high-school crushes and date-flops. But the real stars were these little ghosts spotted everywhere...

REMOTE CONTROL

This project was done for school with the theme "strange pictures".

My original intention was to make a painting in which my typical painting style wasn't recognizable anymore, by manipulating myself with some exterior obstruction. But soon I had to admit, I was fighting a losing battle! So what was I to do but to center the theme of this project upon my new found dilemna...?

THAT'S LIFE ON THE STREET

WATCHING STRANGENESS

As an intro for our new project month circling around the theme "strange/foreign pictures", everyone class was asked to bring an image, which personally disturbed them or seemed foreign or weird in some way.

The collection that was brought together turned out to be extremely diverse and opened up a lot of new perspectives, so I thought I'd post an outtake of it for you.

Can an image this famous still be disturbing or are we 

already too used to it?

(This could've also made an exquisite Ugly Monday)

Ridiculous or awe-inspiring?

What was the person who made this montage thinking?

This is a judicial drawing of a mass murder made in court.

This is actually the portrait of a child-abuser put together out of childrens hand prints. Unethical?

 

And last but not least (weird). I found it quite interesting how disturbing it would be to a person who knows nothing about Christianity, to see a bleeding man hammered to a cross on, let's say, someone's kitchen wall.

ALWAYS READ BETWEEN THE LINES

This is the product of me becoming bored of my own drawing style and the way I usually organize motives and non-motives into a hierarchy, even just by the order of which I draw them.

The pictures above are all consequently drawn from left to right, bottom to top, one line at a time. Sort of like a printer does.

Actually, in the end I began to draw like a printer, just reading forms and colours and reproducing them without thinking or judging, which was pretty...relaxing..?
