So this is my old blog turned new again!Ryan E. Grady's Blog has gotten a face lift! It still contains ARKowitz's (also known as Austin R. Kowitz) awesome HTML code, but I added some new colors, title, and purpose! This blog was previously for my senior honors thesis. Now it will be a general art and video game blog (because Video Games is the new medium) that will include critques, ideas and statements, inprogress-works of my pieces, reviews, and maybe a how-to art video here and there. Right now the blog is seperate from my website, so untill Austin helps me get this hooked up to my site, make sure you visit www.ryegrady.net to see my pieces completed!
For now I would like to share with you a piece I just started!
Recently Ive been completely uninspired by art in general. Mainly because I feel the fine art doesnt approve of my style of work (too "pretty", fantasy oriented, seen it before) and I have no desire to try to make a living in the fantasy genre (too saturated, too many connotations) and my concepts all bore me now lol. I cant just do what I want because I have to create a "body of work" for Grad school (we will talk about what the heck that means another day). So after talking with my lovely friend Dilly, Ive decided that Im going to expand on the characters ive already created into continued narratives. But im going to do a different technique to keep me interested. The figures will be mostly white space, with immense detail surrounding them. heres the start! =D
Let me know what you think!
