Crewscontrol, baby!

hey! Thanks a for the comment. I love Ashley Wood, so I guess some of his style has influenced me. Especailly when it comes to textures.

i like this style...it's a really interesting piece.
the colours are amazing too...

I'd like to know more about what it makes you think about. Do you think she stabbed herself or got stabbed by a customer?

i think she is just too annoyed by the world....so well...she freaked out....(but that's nothing unusual) and just stabbed herself.
the spiders and the snakes amused her for a while...but then she got sick of them too. so there she is...thinking....i'm probably going to die....well. fuck it.

this i like even better than horus, and scraps- are you mad?!
do you mind me asking, but was it based on a photo? because it has an incredible realistic base, and yet it's enriched with the quite surreal swirls.
hmm.... i would say that she was somehow stabbed by accident with the spoon, maybe herself, maybe a co-workers, and then a customer asked for service, and she basically just turned to them, and showed her arm, with spools of snakes and sporadic jetstreams floating out , and then she fainted feels a sickening pit, and sees not stars but twists of blod red twirling her into unconsciousness.
i don't know how you've done what you've done in this image, but i love it.
(i love how annoyed she looks by the way!) and also, welcome!

oh! sorry to be writing billions of notes here, but i commented on horus, mentioning that your stle reminded me of Thom May, and then on seeing this, realised that Thom May had listed Ashley Wood as an influence. so... yay?

I don't mind you asking! I do work a lot from photos, but this particular face was from my head. The body and hands were made by looking at myself in a mirror. She is wearing my actual waitressing uniform. (which I hate wearing to and from work cause it makes me look like a hillbilly. yee-haw) I was debating about making her have a fake smile on her face- but liked this better in the end. Plus... I cant draw teeth.

aww, i am lucky in respect because we have no uniform, !
thanks for that, i was thinking that the face and body where painted somehow, but i was wondering about the table, and the coffee mug in particular, it looks quite wonderfully realistic... somehow it adds to the surrealism of the scene.
heh, i personally like this the way it is, a sort of tired, matter-of-fact, resigned annoyance rather than rage.
i am glad to hear you'd prefer a small group of friends, and oh! i just noticed the spiders. how deliciously dark and disturbing!

The face is done in pencil, the body in oil paint, and the table is both. The cup and silverware is actually real! But I added textures to them.
