My name is...

LET THE ART DUMP BEGIN


Our first assignment: making a black-white illustration out of either or entire name or our first initial. I chose to do my entire english name after my inquiry about using my chinese names was rejected. I basically just took a picture of me when I was in Battery Park with some friends, used it as the outline of the illustration, and then filled it in with my name's letters and scenes from the different places I've lived in, mainly Beijing and New York.
Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with this piece, although I feel it still needs to pop a little more (i.e. more contrast), the blank top of my kind of bugs me, and there's too much white space outside of the figure. Eh.

(just realize this would have been a good piece to start this blog with - OH WELL)
