DOWN IN THE DUMPS

 so.... see no evil - saw a commission for me...
this is what i produced...

DOWN IN THE DUMPS


the painting done at se no evil was of a young orangutang with her lips out smacking the attitude out of the show with some lipstick in hand...susie the lady i did the commission for loved it sooo much she wanted me to do something for her company...natracare....here is a link...
natracare make organic naturally biodegradable tampons...yup not the normal sort of company id imagine wanting me painting for them but i guess it has worked out...


there was no specific breif, just do what ever i wanted really but i knew she loved the orangutang and i wanted to recreate another angle with the makeup....


i have managed to find a whole heap of really cool orangutang photos too so it kinda seemed to make sense to do another one..this one is a lot older and i loved her slightly saddened look...


it was really important for me in this image to get as much makeup on the face as possible a bit like a clown, for two reasons to establish her femininity and also to ensure the lipstick was not just really red lips...especially as i wasn't doing the hand and lipstick tube this time...


really pleased with how the tag layering worked on this paint 



something new for me here...susie wanted a landfill in the background at first i was baffled as to how to achieve this as a landfill is just mushed greys and random muffled colour...no point of reference except for a digger...thank god for the digger....


i layered up colour splats then mushed it in with greys whites and dusted the shit out of it eventually this appeared along with the enlarged bin bags i got a result....phewwwww...actually i kinda liked it in the end....a shit hole for you...haha

this painting will be going on little road trips at event marketing that the company does from now on...she should get out at least three times a year i guess....niceeeeee...
