On My Way

For those of you who have doubted my plans to achieve millions through my artwork (and I know there are a few of you), I present the following: On Thursday April 15th, 2010 I made my debut and became an exhibited artist. Over 200 submissions were juried by an art professor from Utah State University. Said professor then accepted 86 pieces from the finest upcoming artists that the U has to offer. Together we presented our work in the Gittin's Gallery at the University of Utah in the Annual Student Art Show.


My sculpture, entitled "Three", was accepted and prominently displayed at the entrance to the show.


You'll note that in the bottom right hand corner of the label, my work is tagged "NFS". By not placing a price on my piece, I created a stir of interest. Art collectors have the greatest desire for the pieces they can't have, you see. I hope to channel this interest into a bidding war on Ebay soon. I promise I won't let fame ruin me, and I will remember you all when I reach the top.

Portfolio

I thought I might post a few pictures of some of the items I've made in the past two semesters of fine education at the U. I've had to take a 3-D class (sculpture) and a 2-D class (drawing and painting) and these are a few samples from both classes. They are each conceptual pieces full of high commentary on the state of society and suggest how I see the world differently than you. If not, they at least each fulfilled an assignment. I'm pretty sure that these works of fine art are proof that I am, in fact, a professional artist and should soon be worth millions. Or at the very least they prove I have some potential (I hope) and have been admitted to the Graphic Design program. Whatever.

This was my first foam core sculpture to learn about negative space.



This was my second foam core piece, proving that my first wasn't that great.



For this assignment we had to draw our portrait reflected in a window at night.


This was a study to learn the various relationships that colors have together.


This project was a site-specific installation using 100 of the same objects. I had screws, so there you go.



We were required to draw a minimal line portrait for this assignment.


We had to create a sculpture made of paper. I made this after seeing the new construction in Las Vegas.


This is a color study using white, black, and orange charcoal pencils on blue paper.


A simple charcoal still life.


Our first sculpture was made of wire. I would guess that's about 100 feet of wire twisted together.


This is my most recent piece. We were required to use wood for a sculpture with emphasis on the joints.


If anyone is interested in purchases or commissions, please let me know. I've got to get started on those millions.
