I spent a lot of time on the first one (the last one in this arrangement), and I thought it was really pretty, but nothing too special about it. So I moved on to the second one and there was only two days left before shit is due, so I read the source material that I am supposed to get inspiration from. It’s about these men who all shared the same dream about chasing behind this woman, so they all came together to build this city so that they can fulfill their dreams, but then they realized it’s just a trap. This vision makes me think of socialism and the woman part makes me think of vaginas and the parasite looking things are STDs (represents that it’s a trap). The last one was just it was 12 AM and I need to finish this assignment so I came up with a design that will look cool but won’t take me too long to do. The painting is supposed to be about this city of the dead with like dots and stuff. It kinda reminds me of China where people are alive but they are basically dead because inside they don’t feel alive at all. The behind bars thing is supposed to make you feel dead. And then the printer ink colored dots are supposed to represent mass production and how it’s really sloppy and out of place.
Abstract shit. It was fun. I think I enjoy making abstract stuff because it’s easy… I do have to admit I like making abstract art more than painting realistic things.
Done in gouche.
I spent so much fucking time on the first one but everyone ended up liking the one I spent the least amount of time on.
i’m getting nostalgic, I think I’m definitely going to take a chinese class and study abroad
I just need to get over my internalized shame of my culture
You should never feel ashamed of your own culture. I am not saying you should be all, “Asian Power!” But there is no need to feel ashamed. I mean, every culture has its own taboo and whatnot, but not one culture/civilization created by human is perfect. Every culture has its own glory and as a member of an ancient culture I feel proud. I hope you do too. :)

Abstract painting that I have to do for class. Got three more I have to do. :/
No one probably cares but I have set up my shop on etsy and hopefully I can successfully sell something. I hope I do, because I am a starving artist.

I scanned this at the library today, more details can be seen in this version.

I scanned this in the library today. This is as close as you can get to seeing it in real life. I usually just take pictures of my paintings with my crappy iPhone 3G, so this is really eye-opening for myself as well. I am not really done with this yet. I have little details that I want to add. I am going to let it set for a week and see what I want to add this weekend.
Painting in progress. Done with Liquidtex acrylic on Canvas.
I’ve been studying how to paint skin tones. But as usual I am happy with my work but never satisfied. To say that I am happy would be an overstatement actually.
