"Scary"
(mixed media on cardstock and matboard)
It's Day 2 of AEDM. Yesterday I shared the beginning of a honey badger collage... Today I finished it.
The original inspiration for this painting was Illustration Friday's "Scary" theme. On the outside, honey badgers are cute and innocent (even their name is sweet), but looks can be deceiving. According to The Guinness Book of World Records they are "the world's most fearless creatures"... They are ferocious!
What scares me? Things that aren't as they seem... Nastiness with an adorable exterior terrifies me.
I started this painting by using a collage technique Amy shared in her free workshop on Saturday. She is having another free live workshop tomorrow at 2pm CST and you're invited!

Your paintings - they are really great. not at all what 'everyone' is doing - totally your own, and totally cool.

ReplyDeleteKristin this is great!! Love seeing your process too! Bummed I missed Amy's class on this technique, I will check it out sometime! :)
ReplyDeleteohmygod that is so awesome. that scowling face in the yellow wig - those menacing claws holding the lollipop.
ReplyDeleteReally love this piece (and the others you've put out over the last several weeks.) I don't always have the time to comment but you and your work forever stay inspiring to me.
ReplyDeleteI love the way this piece turned out and how you took us through the process. You crack me up with the contridictions in this piece. The blond wig, the pink & rose gingham check and the lollipop and then the claws. Great work.
