PinUp
espresso, colored pencil, glue on paper
My final piece in Roma continued in line with using espresso as a medium to characterize an elegant pinup figure. PinUp utilizes varying densities of espresso and cutting techniques on three seperate pieces of paper which are then pasted together to emulate depth.
The Queen
watercolor, espresso, colored pencil on paper
Using only found imagery from my Italy trip, I wanted to emulate serigraph techniques but had no access to a screen or a press. What I created was a rededication of some of my favorite pieces that are collaged together with a surrealist feel.
Angels
espresso, colored pencil on paper
Espresso is such an integral part of Italian culture that I wanted to incorporate it into my work in Roma. Its warm color and character and its unexpected results make it a fun experimental, readily available medium.
Roma Postcards
watercolor, xerox transfer on paper
A series of 12 personal postcards reflecting on my time in Roma. Using some of the Eternal City's famous pieces I wanted to collage and convey my experience of feeling both inspired and overwhelmed by what Roma offered.
Runway
serigraph
Poking fun at our society's current environment regarding gender and sexuality, Runway is my most ambitious silkscreen to date, comprising 16 color runs. This is also a precursor for me to using Roman statuary as emotive representational figures.
Image Projection: Consumer Sexuality
serigraph
Half of a two-part series, this piece maps out what female sexuality is "supposed" to be using shallow, commercial imagery. This somewhat cynical exaggeration also attempts to define how what we buy and consume shapes and even becomes our identity.
Image Projection: Consumer Masculinity
serigraph
Half of a two-part series, this piece maps out what male sexuality is "supposed" to be using shallow, commercial imagery. This somewhat cynical exaggeration also attempts to define how what we buy and consume shapes and even becomes our identity.
Untitled
serigraph
One of my earlier screenprints, this piece is largely an experiment of color and transparency to explore the boundaries of the medium.
Denial
two-color reductive linocut
Drawing from Lichtenstein's overly emotional and satirical Drowning Girl, this piece uses humor as a vehicle to toy with sex and gender roles and explore how man has been stereotyped when confronting emotions.
Sunday Morning
linocut
A one-color landscape linocut. I wanted to experiment with different textures and carving techniques to emulate various natural elements.
A little about me...
Hey, I'm Eric, an available for hire graduate from the University of Washington here in Seattle. I'm 23 and my interests fall more toward the creative side of life, particularly the challenge of web design.
In school I double majored in Communications and Fine Arts (primarily printmaking) in hopes of finding a job in our media environment, particularly new media. I want something engaging, artistic, and fresh.
In my studies, I've grown really attached to how technology shapes our daily lives, how pop culture actually creates our culture, and gender and sexuality in the media. Art and design wise, I love silkscreening and continuing freelance web design using CSS and HTML.
In my downtime, I love a good cup of coffee, firing up one of my game consoles, munching on sushi, cooking some home food, reminiscing over Italy, and dining out with my friends. But not all at the same time.
