Description
Influence: ...From the Shards of Comets! - Less Magic, More Mechanics

September 2008
11"x14" cotton canvas and
Rembrandt Series 1 oil paint.

Notes: So, I wasn't sure about the title to this, but I'm in the habit of titling my work after the track I used, so I thought: how is this relative? Well, here's what I came up with: "Less Magic" being the background, ever-changing and fluid(ish). "More Mechanics" puts me in the mind of sterility, cold metals and sharp lines... i.e. the clean edges from the masking tape I used. Does it work? I'unno, but I'm happy with the excuse I made.

This was fun, and it's been too long since I've painted (omgjune). I used gesso, 'cause I remember *gromyko telling me I ought to try it. I also covered it in talcum powder with the help of `oilsoaked before I painted it which created "soft spots" on the canvas. They were rubbed away when I wiped it down with a paper-towel at the end. That's mostly it. There's some mica-powder on there too, but you can't really see it in the photograph.

...and I think that's enough typing, hah.
