noodan said:hey.. its been a while since anyone posted on in here.. i thought i may as well put some of my works up.. good luck to everyone, and congrats to those who have already been short listed ^_^
i only just realised that i don't have any individual photos of my works.. just pics from when my work was up on a wall at school. this is most of them, but i don't have a pic of my large painting.. its called "on a closer look".. i originally set out to explore media.. with cockroaches as my subject.. however the more i learnt about them.. and the more things i tried.. i realised there was both a hideous and, as terrible as it sounds... a beautiful side to them.. anyway.. ^_^
eww that would have been gross.. i hate them too! i still shudder at the thought of the amount of cockroaches i had to pick up this year.. with gloves on, of course.. eww... >_<luscious-llama said:AS much as they disgust me and freak me out (one crawled into my bag of lolly pops >.<) THAT looks absolutely gorgeous... I love everything you've done.
LISOC said:Hi!
Here are my digital shots from my collection of works...
DESCRIPTION:
A collection of photographs playing on the contrast between grunge and glamour. They explore scenes of disenchanted youth, inspired by music culture and are underpinned by my personal exploration of self as both the photographer and model. My process gave itself to chance as I let my body in front of and ‘behind’ the camera be motivated by the progressive beats and troublesome lyrics of songs by bands such as Led Zeppelin, The Libertines, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Joy Division and The Jam.
I'll post an image of my final presentation, which also feature 3 mixed media abstract expressionist works to further capture the play between grunge and glamour i.e. grit vs gloss.
thank you llama <3luscious-llama said:Beautiful Work Lisoc Did you use the different kinds of things to print them out on, Ie gloss or that glassy stuff and maybe something gritter or plainer?
That sounds sexy, incredibly sexy, I think we have a very talented cohort this year as much as the idea's sorta been portrayed (my god have u seen heroin chic? Cory Kennedy?) and stuff like that throughout those "arty" magazines urs is really rawwww and gorgeous..LISOC said:thank you llama <3
i decided to print the photos all on super gloss; this heavily contrasts with the raw, gritty paper (with torn edges) that i used for my abstract expressionist works thus physically manifesting the discourse between glamour vs. grunge
ahaha have you not used super glossy mcgloss before? : Pluscious-llama said:That sounds sexy, incredibly sexy, I think we have a very talented cohort this year as much as the idea's sorta been portrayed (my god have u seen heroin chic?

Supergloss ^_^!!
I think I may just make a thread showcasing Bodies of work later on cause its so hard to find stuff in this thread, <3
Not quite that super glossy mcgloss, all the stuff i've done requires matteLISOC said:ahaha have you not used super glossy mcgloss before? : P
AAAAAGh i hate it when it does thatLISOC said:btw, i typed a reply yesterday and BOS decided to screw up on me so it deleted my message, that i'd crafted so carefully! *sigh* now i have the strength to semi-re-type it!
Agreed. Let's assassinate her for being a trashy whore celebutante. Why is she famous again? Oh cause she's skinny, a party whore and like 16... illegal dude.LISOC said:ugh, cory kennedy pisses me off...she's a stupid slag :burn: teehehe
Thank you LISOC that makes me feel awesome , ahh yes i am on the deviantART.LISOC said:thank you so much, it means a lot that youse like it. i found your BOW on deviantart after reading some other posters rave about your work and golly wolly, it's amazing!!! i'm a complete NOO8 when it comes to photography (especially photoshop and the likes) so i really was quite taken by your skillzzz.
Ahhhhhhhhh coooool, thats the best way to make an artwork, through the experimentation of not knowing something in depth... thats good u gave the girl a name cause it makes it more personaaal and they like thatLISOC said:i was originally inspired by the whole grungy, underground music scene becuase i tend to listen to a lot of the music but i don't particularly embrace the culture so it was a bit of an experiment at first. then i realised the glamourisation of that way of life and how abusive it is (hence the substance abuse evident in the pictures). i gave the girl a name (liza radley- from the song by the jam) and used the abstract pieces to give her depth as if it was her reaction to the way she is presented by others.
Mmmmmm.... naive and impressionable - 14 yr old emos!LISOC said:in many ways i'm having a go at the tendancy of fashion and contemporary art to turn something ugly into something stylish and beautiful as it has an ability to transpire and become dangerous to those who are naive and impressionable.
Nah its okay, talking is great. particularly on a forum peopleconsider dead (at least the art section )LISOC said:i shall shut up now. i talk too much : S i hope some of that can be seen in my work lolzz
holy christ if u didnt get preselected ill personally ... umm i dont know but omg this is good shitThade said:Here's two of mine. I'm too lazy to open the rest in photoshop for resizing since they're huge and take about 20 minutes to open on my crappy laptop.
They're images consiting of my family as part of an Escher-like picture, drawn in photoshop and printed on some matte paper at Harvey Norman. Except I haven't got images of them in all of their nice black mounts in a pretty black wall, so here's some resized versions. I forgot my original description, so... *insert citation and description here*
Eh, the top one is definitely better. -_-"
