The Art Proposal | 3/3

January 2023

This was meant to be manufacturing meets biology/science. And kinda the whole planes were inspired by birds thing.

Really, was just losing my mind and needed to make some fuken thing for the assignment.

Science Fiction Movie Assignment

December 2022 - January 2023

LMAOO

Uhh lil health science project I put wayy too much effort into over the winter break, and yet didn't finish/do right (the end notes in the vid say it all, really)

Assignment was to make a form of media exploring a possible future that biotechnology could take us to,, the assignment itself was pseudo inspired by Gattaca (movie). I decided to do the whole gene editing and use of chimeras to grow human organs route.

The Art Proposal | 2/3

December 1-30, 2022

This was supposed to be a themed trilogy, but I, like always, did not really have a theme in mind. I was kind of going for 'where art and technology/science meet' but it was really shoehorned. This was going to be a beautiful piece symbolizing medicine w elements of the staff of asclepius w the snake and her arm.

Making this was really, really annoying. I hadn't done a multi canvas piece since the cardinal (which was five years prior) so the idea was I go all out for this one (bad idea, never got finished). I did really like the style and the overall composition of the piece, but there's a 0.00001% chance I ever go back to this because of how big of a task it'd be.

First of all, making the wooden frame just to hold the canvases in the right position was terrible. I made the spacing smaller because I didn't want to lose details, but because it was so thin it broke 24/7. Don't even talk to me about the nailing/gluing process.... horrible.

Painting it was also a feat, because it took up so much space and I had to dance around the pieces constantly.

I got it to a place where it was finished enough, and then I was done with it.

(also I changed the position of the legs in the painting to make it more anatomically correct, but it ruined the silhouette)

The canvases still exist in my house, but the frame is long gone.

The Medium is the Message

December 16-18, 2022

Big thanks to Morgan Freeman for narrating this video. Tried to get David Attenborough, but he wasn't available.

Video assignment for english. Was supposed to utilize one filmmaking technique/genre (idrk) and I chose the archival footage one and made a video of Baby James.

This was really fun to make.

Gr12 physics video I had to make. I carried so hard for this bro.

Just a bunch of yapping.

Photomontage Art Project | Salmon Rush

November 2022

Gr12 art project inspired by ___'s photomontage art style. This is a project I was dreading when I took gr12 art. I'm not a photographer and I was not anticipating making anything that I'd like. Surprisingly, I really, really liked this project.

Me and my partner took my father's gopro and canon camera and went to the local creek to bother some salmon.

I did make a digital version of it to figure out the scaling I'd need to print everything at. I then maximized profit by nesting the pictures on 8.5x11" files so that I'd spend the least amount of money printing them 🔥(because we had to do that ourselves, the school doesn't have coloured printers 🙄)

Lowkey there was only one other person whose project I liked for this assignment. A lot of them were really messy and didn't have any grounding elements. For this one I put a lot of focus on the logs in the middle. And I did splice together a lot of pictures to form the whole log, but I made sure they were all lined up so the full form was still distinguishable.

The Art Proposal | 1/3

November 11, 2022

Grade 12 art project where I really just wanted to make a bacteriophage CAD model because I'm obsessed.

I fully printed and assembled this doll, but it broke. I need to figure out a way to 3D print the part body without the supports being mega annoying (or alter the CAD model/split it into multiple pieces). I'll do that someday and then 3D print this guy again.

Colour Reduction Printmaking Assignment | Ronald Mcwongald

September 18, 2022 - November 2022

Inspired by John dies at the end. What David Wong, resident non-chinese protagonist, saw in the window of a Mcwongalds on a normal Tuesday morning.

Gr12 assignment where we could either choose this or a still life/realistic pencil drawing of a 'terrible beauty.' We got to choose between these two because there's just not enough time to do all of these assignments in a semester, and we've done still lives all 3 previous years. All the people who chose still life are cucks.

I don't have the linoblock anymore 😭😭. I forgot to steal it when I took all my artworks home and when I sent my friend to get it for me the next year they didn't have it ??!??!?!?! It must be in that art room somewhere rahh

Lining up the prints was soo hard. Especially for the last layer because there was so little material left on the block that it would really easily shift around. I was smart by picking this subject, though. Any extra red smears just add to the blood, and whenever they don't line up it just makes it more distorted and fucked up 💀😏

Art Movements Assignment | Bald Eagle

September 9, 2022 - September 16, 2022

I spent so long working on this assignment at the beginning of the semester that my parents got concerned about me taking art when i should be studying to master my other classes 💀💔

Gr12 assignment where our teacher told us to all bring a random object to school (for unknown reasons), and then revealed that we're doing a project where we have to draw that object multiple times using 3 art movement styles.

Bottom-up the movements are:

German Expressionism

Cubism

Impressionism

Had a lot of fun making this. The german expressionism was a hoot, but I just love using inks. I hated doing the impressionism one, though. I just didn't like how it was turning out/turned out, and me and my teacher agree that it's not really an impressionistic style. They be using colours in crazy ways that I hadn't unlocked at the time.

Animation Meme | Wrap Me In Plastic by Chromance

February 7, 2021 - September 2, 2022

Unfinished animation meme I was planning on doing.

Animation Meme | Soldier, Poet, King by The Oh Hellos

September 2, 2022

More walk cycles. Wanted to do it for the soldier, poet, king animation meme, but never finished it.

I remember being unhappy with these, but they're pretty solid

Kill la Kill | Ragyo Kiryuin

Aug 21 2022

I hated this when I was making it, and even more once I had finished it. Maybe I thought I would look back on it and disagree, but nope!

I'm surprisingly tolerant of the one without the rainbow lighting on her body. But holy did I drop the ball on this drawing as a whole.

I don't even like the lineart for chrissakes 😭.

Nonetheless, might take another stab at ragyo for ragyo's sake, but it'd be a whole new drawing. This is unsalvageable.

Kill la Kill | Satsuki Kiryuin

Aug 20 2022

Modified on Apr 14 2024

Modified the shading on the face because I didn't like the original's (bottom left).

Green sketch is another pose I was exploring for her. Didn't end up finishing it.

Really happy with this one ❤️

Junketsu in its normal form because the stupid shoulder pads of it after doing its magical girl transformation is not it. Everything else is gold but that ruins it 😒. And also it's so good in its normal form i love

Kill la kill | Ryuko Matoi

Aug 18 2022

Don't really know what to say abt this one. No past notes on it.

Just another installment of the kill la kill girls. Like the pose. I know I wanted to maybe do her suits other forms but yk i had to do the classic 🤑

The Perfect Run | Ryan Romano

August 17, 2022

Fanart of this silly guy. Never landed on a pose for the drawing, and honestly didn't like the book all that much to motivate myself to finish it.

May 21, 2022 - August 9, 2022

Peacock drawing I did in really detailed layers because the plan was to plasma cut this out of aluminum sheets and then assemble them with spacers in between so it'd be a cool 3D peacock. Never ended up happening and also I think it would have been impossible/taken 1000 hours because I made the tail so detailed 💀

June 27, 2022

random phone sketches brainstorming something to possibly plasma cut to turn the robot part into an art piece I can hang up on my wall.

Never came to fruition 😢

Data Summative | Pridemania

June 16, 2022

The queers are taking over

Data final project where we had to make a carnival game and calculate the probability of winning/losing/all of the possible outcomes.

The piece on the bottom was a holder for a plinko board my friend made for this project. Didn't get any pictures of it 😢

Art Summative

December 26, 2021 - January 9, 2022

Final project for gr11 art that I did finish, but never submitted because they did a goofy thing where our summatives couldn't lower our marks.

Uhhh, ig I don't have any pictures of the finished project? It was a whole illusion thing of a hallway. I wasn't too happy with it when I first did it, but it's a solid idea. Prolly gonna revisit the illusion in the future, not sure if I'd take a stab at making this exact scene again.

Still Life Assignment

December 13, 2021 - December 28, 2021

The fated gr11 still life.

This took so long. So, so long. Started it at school, but did the majority during the winter break. Was several days of me hunched over this in the basement slaving over it for the whole day. Put movies/shows on in the background, and all of 'the witcher' passed before I finished this 😭

Painting Assignment

November 18, 2021 - December 16, 2021

Gr11 assignment where we had to paint something that has a meaning.

I'm gonna yap about my thoughts on this.

I hate it when teachers/people start developing this notion that every piece of art needs to have a meaning. I get that that's why a lot of people do art (whether to convey a message or just vent an emotion), but once it's forced it's no longer an outlet. I like doing art because I do. And if it has a meaning to me, that's for me to know. Everyone has their own experiences that vary their interpretations, which leads to people seeing stories that you may not have intended (which is fine). But I don't see the reason for chastising the artist if you don't see a meaning to their work.

Idk, I just feel that once you force an artist to make art that has a meaning, you're taking away the freeing aspect of art. With art, you're the one in control of what you create and the messages you send, but once it's forced it defeats the purpose.

Anyways,,, I needed to paint something that has a meaning, which i really didn't feel like doing. The way around this was to paint something that has so many fucked up aspects that most people would think this says so much about society. Dead animals? check. fucken,, fire? check. impossble perspective?? you love it babyeee

I had fun painting this piece, but it did take me a bit to get over my angery about me having to have a meaning. I eventually leaned into thinking how funny it was that peoplewld think this says so much about society when I was just dickin around.

(also this assignment had a written portion where you have to explain the meaning, but I never did that 🤠👍)

"She flung her arms so fast you couldn't see [them move the tits] because of the time dilation - that it makes [the tits] move like that"

I am not the first to draw insaniquarium r34, but I at least contributed to the cause 😔✌️

Studio Ghibli | Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away

March 14, 2021 - December 3, 2021

Studio ghibli fanarts I never ended up finishing.

I still really like both concepts, just need to muster up the motivation to start em up again and finish em.

Clay Teapot Assignment | Bugpot

~November/December 2021

Gr11 assignment where we had to make a teapot that didn't look like a teapot.

This was super fun. Sculpting is something I don't do often, but it's so cool.

Initially this was supposed to be fully covered in bugs, but because of time constraints I had to tone it down. I did consider making more bugs out of polymer clay to stick them on after, but I was too lazy to do that. M happy w how it is as is, too.

I sculpted the base to look like rocks/dirt and lowkey my teacher had no idea wtf I was doing but she just left me to it because she trusted the process ❤️

I was so scared that one of the pots would explode when casting and ruin my stuff, but we good.

Painting it was a bit of a pain because of all the nooks and crannies, but I got through it

Too lazy to take better pictures of this.

Scratch Art Assignment

October 19, 2021 - ~November 2021

Gr11 assignment that had a focus on lighting and intentionally lost details because the light doesn't reach it.

I included so much detail in the sketch that I didn't want to lose any of it,, so the light source got hella messed up.
