"I am not a rib" haha, never really bought that either. Even in the Bible, man's fragile ego shines through. I used to do promotions for a punk band called Oedipus Complex in high school, man did they suck but they were original punks all the way. They always played drunk and were very violent, what's not to love? I think every man has that complex to some degree, maybe not as bad as ol' Oedipus did (thus it was named after him) but we all seek a little mommy in our companions. Interesting piece, it's fun to try and interpret what it means.

Venus de Milo would have looked cool in Chanel..:)..I like the loose lines here.

davincipoppalag (Feb 12, 2007)

Ohh nice blockhead with boobs (LOOK CAM)

frootcake (edited Feb 12, 2007)

cool as.
k edit: k totally got this one, you're referring to todays skinny models as being the equivalent of the old venus/aphrodites. however, i don't think all successful models are blockheads, maybe you only mean the ones who are starving themselves

solve (Feb 12, 2007)

frootcake :D very on point.

The other night I had been googling anorexia images because I was working on something that was emaciated but had skin. A MAJORITY of pictures included models. I thought to myself, "This is the new venus? These are todays standards of beauty?". Revolting if you ask me. Then I thought about what influence theyve had to become this way and the influence it holds over women today. Which is apparent both in (Of all godforsaken places) Hollywood, fashion, and sadly friends. It reminded me of Videodrome too, that thing on the head is actually a TV (not obvious, I know". The statue stand as a material broadcast of what "beauty" is. In its stomache is a hole/vagina, due to the ideas of sex overtaking the image of womens beauty and filtering it to one aspect. WOW IM SO DEEP LOL. Just kidding, this was a very spontaneous work.

Thanks though, your comment made me very happy.

hideyourface (Feb 12, 2007)

oh I saw that recently sweetcell, but it looks like in this that multiple lines were drawn with one stroke, and I dont get that.

cmb (Feb 14, 2007)

if you thin the brush down to 1xwhatever number, then rotate it round you can see on the monitor it will split into 3 or 4 lines, draw with that and you get the multi line effect....

Sweetcell (Feb 14, 2007)

It's a caligraphy effect with the pen Hide. At a certain angle you get multiple lines, as Chris shows here. Fascinating stuff. Doesn't work as well with the airbrush though. You should try with the square brush next time Chris.

cmb (Feb 16, 2007)

thanks for the tip sweetcell!

Thnx everybody. I'm thinking of using this one as a "congratulation on the birth of your baby-boy card" (what in the world is the correct term for such a card?)

cmb (Feb 11, 2007)
