What started as an offering to do commissioned portraits for my patrons turned into a small but awesome pop art ebru series.
"Lately things just don't seem the same."
The portraits are made from a single uncut piece of paper. I implemented the use of paper masks, a.k.a. stencils, to define the shapes of each portrait. Each color and pattern used bring a unique new life to the highly recognizable classic pop images. Each finished piece in this small series has two vibrant layers of original ebru.
Using the light table to aline the stencil.
Jimi Hendrix(the visionary), Jim Morrison(the poet), and Bob Marley(the heart), the subjects of my pop art ebru series are all musicians I grew up listening to and reading about. Their music and lives have a strong influence on who I am today. So in a way these are portraits of my inspirations.
"Strange times have found us."
"Live the life you love."
You can collect all three pop ebru images from my etsy shop! I have archival prints available at a great price.
-----In Other News-----
I recently took a trip over to the M. Graham paint companies manufacturing warehouse. M. Graham is one of the paints I use the most to create my ebru art. It was interesting learning and watching how paint is made. Especially since it is such a important part of my art.
-----More News-----
For the month of May I will have a selection of my art available to view at Fuel Bistro in the Alberta Arts district of Portland, Oregon.
----Workshops----
I have a paper marbling workshop coming up on May 18th at the Loaded Brush in SE Portland, Oregon.
