Mixed Media Self Portrait Second Assignment

For my second assignment, I wanted to use the same theme of the mannequin head, which I have named bowdacious you could say that she is the mascot for my brand sorta speak. Though I label this as a self portrait.

My first idea was to create a two headed figure, either with two mannequin heads or one mannequin and my own head, though I was not able to get the positioning right. So I may try that on the third assignment. But I just took random pics holding the head in different ways, positioning my own head until I captured this photo and I just liked it so much over the other ones that were taken.

You will see a familiar face that I have created, I simply selected just the face from my original photo from the first assignment and placed in on this version. I changed the wig but kept the bow.

I wanted it to be clean cut and simple. So I just painted the background black, I added the same features of the mannequin, as in light, texture to my own to give it a sense of being apart of the same family, as in looking like one image instead of two put together.

"Bowdacious is my other half. My photo-manipulations are based from Bowdacious. A simple mannequin head with a blank canvas is how I view all of my images that I end up creating. She is my alter ego, she is me and I am her."-Renee Andrews

M3 CD booklet Part 2

My concept for my CD, consumed around the idea of Cocooning. Meaning everything around me is in fact me. Ether it is wrapping yourself in music/lyrics or just stuff in general. I wanted to keep the inner pages 2,7,3,6 simple so they did not come off as to busy. Within a CD booklet, the the lyrics are at some print you should still be able to read them. When it came to the subtle images throughout the booklet, I made images that fit the song and lyrics at hand. Example: Light On by Eric Balfour "There will be a light on the planet it for you." I decided to go with an image of planet to go hand and hand, while always using my color scheme which is a pink. Now when it comes to the Puppet by Alaska Thunderfuck, I decided to make the lyrics and the song title like they are held up like strings and made a creepy version of a puppet face that fades into the background. Pages 4 and 5, I wanted it to be a poster like image that you would be able to rip out and hang...

Second Collage Assignment "The Color Pink"

(Click to Enlarge) For this second collage, the color I chose was of course pink. I wanted to base it with neon colors after I made a light painting of the name Eric Balfour and it became my base for the rest of the contents and color tints to me collage. In this particular work, I wanted to express myself and what I am made up of. The first one was based around my favorite band in a whole and recycled band shirts, here I wanted to do a digital art. I used Adobe Photo-shop in creating this piece of work. Each image used was altered to the color pink as well as filters to enrich certain textures and words. I added a bow because I used to wear large bows a few years ago thus giving me my name Bowdacious. Which I use on as my Instagram username. Though instead of just picking a random bow, I went with one that had chevon texture that also goes along with the pink fur. I took an images of my fur boots and also fur cheetah cosmetic trunk. To describe what is all within thi...

Image & Text in Visual Art Third Assignment

I wanted to try my hand at another "flyer" per say. It is more to advertise my work. I think I kept it more on the simpler side this time. I kept the original font I use for Bowdacious, I added my logo saying, "I make the real, into real fake photo-manipulations." I tried not to use many fonts only two and I used the Instagram logo with my username underneath it so people know that is where they can go to look at my work. Followed by my name. For the girl I wanted to keep y mu signature look that I created within my first mixed media assignment with the artificial bratz eye and lips.
