Writing 3 (blog posts for Crit II) ARTISTS POST

Since I didn't get to post one last time you get a double whammy!

First up to bat is my friend Will Cowley. Here is a link to his About Me page on his blog: https://willcowley.wordpress.com/2016/01/29/information-about-myself/

Will hopes to someday be involved in character design and storyboarding, he seems to be well on his way! His work focusses on MEANING. Symbolism, hidden agendas, etc. Here are some examples of this:


 Title: Magician's Ace of Spades Medium: Graphite Pencil Artist: Will Cowley IIITitle: Four of Diamonds Medium: Graphite Pencil Artist: Will Cowley III
Magicians Ace of Spade, Graphite.           Four of Diamonds, Graphite. 

For his first piece in critique he created an interpretation of the Brothers Grimm tale "Godfather Death" It was executed well and I could tell how much care and genuine thought went into the piece. Here, check it out!

Death's Equality, Graphite.

Please check out his blog, his post are well spoken and a joy.

UP NEXT, drumroll please..... Christen Wheat!

Her work also relies heavily on symbolism and the "deeper meaning." Although hers is in the 3D form. Here is a link to her blog: https://chris10wheat.wordpress.com/2016/01/29/the-person-named-christen/  She is a quiet friend of mine that seems to think deeply. She cares about all details of her work and wishes to convey meaning in all that she does. Here are some examples of her previous work:

Sloth2
My personal favorite, "Sloth"

"One Puzzle at a Time"
Her work also deals with time and death. She is working on a series involving these two things and the passing of human life. Each clock she will make will represent a different time in man's life. Here is her first installment in that series, which will be critiqued Friday:

I'm excited to see her grow.
