Pine Cone vs Feather: Burning Man Mural

I painted a mural this year at Burning Man in center camp. I got into the festival 2 days early to do it and it was pretty much a non-stop process. I pulled an all nighter on the Sunday before the gates opened to the general public so I could start festivaling myself. It is a bigger version of this sketch http://shouldercat.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-planters-ball.html from the Planter's Ball in June. I decided to chose a lighter, more positive, less critical theme than usual to try and be more in the Burning Man spirit and less of an asshole. I think it was a good choice. I guess this is the 3rd mural I've ever done (see 'mural' label at the bottom), and it's the first all just acrylic with paint brush and permanent marker. I went for a very illustrative not so street art style. That is all.

Hot Air Balloon

I made this for Claire for her 24th Birthday. Before she dies all Claire wants is to go in a hot air balloon. We promised her she'd get it by her 80th Birthday.

It's the first painting I've done in 3 years since my days making a portfolio to get into Concordia in Buenos Aires. It's funny to see how screen print influenced I am now.

close up

This is my first ever digital print with a two layer screen print on top. I'm a little disappointed by the results cuz the colours were dulled by the printer. It also looks way better live than in this picture.



Here's the original paintings that I scanned. It's so much brighter than the print, not to mention fluorecent red is the best colour ever. I collaged it from its constituent parts.
