Artist's Comments

I am so tired so this description may lack a tad...

I changed this idea totally around when I shot it, so I am going to go back to what I originally wanted and redo it with a different person... shall be interesting. I like oranges and blues.

There is only paint someplaces and not eveywhere because i said so and because of the rectangle on the face. it is, infact, a perfect rectangle with sponge-smudged edges to make it less sharp... but it looks like it isnt straight at top because when one furrows their brow, a worry line appears and it always dominates the straights.

Maybe I will add more later. print available, and if I shoot something better tomorrow, this comes down maybe. maybe not. hm.

oh yeah, p.s., the colors are natural and those aren't glass eyes.

EDIT AND ATTENTION: to those who see it... this won 1st place at the SIUC photo contest, 2004. It was also exhibited at the Drexel University contest/show, 2004.

Wow this is awesome the color in this is really striking. THe texture around the face it wonderful as well. Those eyes are someone hidden but once you notice them they stick out the most in the picture. I love it +fav

i just love all your photos! how do you always get the eyes to look so...so...i don't know. bright and stand out so much? just good luck w/model's eyes? and do you do all the makeup yourself? the makeup is great in all of your pics!

Great shot marcy, I love the colours/textures and the facial expressions just spot on, kind of like she's thinking "Who are you??! Why are you here?!". :D

excellent contrasts in there. even if there are so much details the whole composition is very well belanced and has a very strange expression. very good. :nod:

favourite.
