Other Artists








 The artists labelled here, from left to right, are: Alex Pardee, Matt Furie, Allyson Mellberg, Jeffrey Brown and Karen Runge. They all have their differences, but they all relate to my work.

 Alex Pardee's piece represents something grotesque and unnerving. The head and body look detached from one another and give a sense of an 'experiment gone wrong'. His use of paint too attracts my attention as it is minimalistic.
 Matt Furie's piece again depicts something grotesque, but this time gives it an innocent environment. The use of colour is very detailed. My drawings are very similar to these two pieces.
 Allyson Mellberg's piece emits surreality. I have myself experimented drawing lines and creating odd shapes which in turn can look like some sort of animal. The paper she has drawn this onto is complimentary due to the line's softness.
 Jeffrey Brown's is very like me. As a child I drew almost every day and came up with little characters such as these. His simple use of line and texture give the characters a bold presence. The deformities which some of them possess also add dark humour.
 Karen Runge's piece depicts an odd looking creature. Again it looks as though it's been hastily drawn by a child and the colours are eccentric. The creature could appear to have its own adaptation on its back, which is interesting due to our project requirements: to develop a creature and its environment.
