Appropriated Portrait

 The Assignment:
      Recently, we were assigned a project to appropriate a famous artist.  Unlike others in the class, I chose a off the radar street artist.  We could either take a piece of their work and make it our own; or use multiple pieces of their work to create something to mimic their style.  Instead of doing that, I did both.  I used multiple pieces of Jace's work, and added my own touch to it.  This resulted in eight pieces of Jace's work on one canvas.

 My Choice:
     I choose Jace because he is unique from other artists.  Some may even say he isn't an artist, but he has opened my eyes to a new form of art - street art. Also, he doesn't only do his own work, but he adds his iconic orange character, Gouzou, to almost anything.  Just a normal Perrier billboard was hijacked by Jace and Gouzou.  Or the well-known MGM logo being appropriated by Jace himself.  The main reason I chose him was because of his different take on the art world.


 What I Learned:
      Overall, I learned many new techniques with his help.  His sharp lines and super-tight edges take forever to recreate, resulting in a major OCD overload.  I had so much fun with it in the end though, all those extra hours and nine-hour long Sunday work sessions was worth it in the end.
