Artist's Comments
Okay, so maybe this is not quite what the contest is asking for, but I figured I'd give it a shot....
Instead of merely looking at myself in the world of vectors, I decided to bring the world of vectors back to the "real" world. The piece is just over life-size (6' 9" tall) and is made of acrylic painted on MDF. I did all of the illustrating in Illustrator 10 before projecting the image onto a board and then cutting it out/painting it. At what point does the artist become the commodity? When do people buy and sell the person rather than the works themselves? As designers, we produce works and are chosen based on what we can do for the next company, not what we've done in the past. The figure is me, but at the same time it is also a work in and of itself, capable of being bought, traded, destroyed. Commodified.... |

A decidedly impressive piece. Your vectored face is ambivalent with nearly blank eyes and an unreadable expression. Nice to see it finished after however long its been.
Oh, and you sure have gotten a lot of mileage out of Tim, haven't you?
I enjoy your input as to the theory behind the piece; I've spent so much time discussing it from my point of view it's hard to look at it in other ways. I am carrying it to my grad school oeuvre as well.
Portfolio kicked ass this last week - Taylor said that yours and mine are the best presentations he's ever seen. You got critiqued on being cocky and I got critiqued for having too many exciting and spectacular pieces (not enough normal things).
