Pop Goes the Artist!

This is the cubist self portrait I started a few months ago. I finally finished the background tonight. I don’t usually have time to do much outside of school, especially fairly major projects like this one, which is why it sat around unfinished for awhile. However, I’m happy with the way it turned out. I like the color scheme in particular and I think it bears at least a passing resemblance to me. This style is definitely more suited to the crazy hair than the pop art was. I had to take the photo without a flash because there was a glare, which is why the colors are a little dark. The darkest shade in the background is dark green, rather than black as it appears. Oh…and the reason this one looks almost exactly like the pop art one in terms of pose and expression is that I used that one to get the basic shapes down. (acrylic on canvas, 16×20)
