HP Art: Mrs. Skower's All-Purpose Magical Mess-Remover, and One Hundred Bottles (Warhol imitations)
First off, have I mentioned lately how much I adore hill_? No? Well. I adore hill_ big big time. For her constant support and encouragement, and for her excellent modly work, and for her overwhelming generosity. ♥ Also, for all the smut. ;)
Alright. Here are a couple of drawings done for hp_fringeart's Famous Work of Art Imitation Challenge.
Mrs. Skower’s All-Purpose Magical Mess-Remover. Pencil and Paper, Photoshop. Fonts: Italian Cursive, 16th Century, OldStyle. Imitation of Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup I (Tomato). 280x640px, 46k.
One Hundred Bottles. Pencil and Paper, Photoshop. Imitation of Andy Warhol's One Hundred Cans. 280x640px, 53k.
Man, I looked away from LJ for two seconds, and hp_fringeart 'sploded. Everybody is so excited about the imitation challenge, yay! :D All these brilliant little imitations are turning up, and I swear to you people, I'm mainlining the stuff. It's right up my alley. I have at least three pieces which actually should be ahead in my art queue, but here I am drawing parodies. I can't help myself. And Escher is next.
I really don't know that much about Andy Warhol. I just last week saw a documentary which featured him, and then I found this website, Warholstars, which is pretty fascinating, and not just because it chronicles a 1968 Lou Reed face-sitting incident. (...I don't know; things like that just catch my eye.) I did see that Lili Taylor movie, but I've forgotten it by now. And I remember thinking Crispin Glover was a cutie-patootie in The Doors. Anyway, that's neither here nor there.
A few months ago I did a whole slew of Warhol-inspired pop art Harry Potter critters icons. And now here I am again with the pop art. This was really fun to do, both because I love doing parodies, and because I find this one in particular to be intriguingly paradoxical... Um... I've erased this paragraph several times, now. I keep trying and failing miserably to explain these vague thinky thoughts, which are probably both misinformed and pretentious. About recursiveness, and crossover fanart, and American consumer culture, and art imitating art imitating art, and culture eating its own tail...
So, I'll stop babbling now. ;)
