B.D.R Mutiny

Love in the 21st Century

Watercolor piece i did for Illustration II during junior year.

This piece was done for Word & Image during my junior year of college. I did the illustrations in gouche, watercolor, and pen & ink. The text was in-laid with photoshop. The assignment was to create a theatrical poster for selected characters from the play.

I believe this piece was done for Illustration I class during sophomore year. I decided to do an editorial type piece for question 2 being passed in Massachusetts. Colored pencil and marker and then tweeked in photoshop.

Self-Portrait study I did during Human Figure class of sophomore year of college. We were to render ourselves and then superimpose what our possible skull looked like over it using tracing paper. Pencils for the drawing. Sharpie and thin prisma markers for the skull.

The MZA

Pencil sketch I did back in sophomore year of college of Method Man. Just charcoal and different B pencils.

Confinement of Marriage

The third piece of my Degree Project was motivated by thoughts and feelings towards arranged marriage in Bangladesh, and for the most part, any arranged marriage. I have an ingrained sense of wrong towards arranged marriage because it places the woman almost as a prisoner within the marriage due to cultural upbringing of what sexes are entitled to as people. Thus, arranged marriage for the most part within Bangladesh, I feel, places the woman as a second class citizen.
I utilized the same exact techniques as the 'Malnourishment" piece.

Malnourishment

This is piece number 2 of my degree project. I focused upon one of the most crippling atrocities of Bangladesh, malnourishment. Specifically, the malnourishment of children. The text is Bengali script for 14,080,000. Approximately the number of children affected by malnourishment in the entire country.
I tape transferred the drawing of my malnourished child onto a prepared surface which consisted of newspaper covered with matte medium. The colors were acrylic paint placed on with a palette knife. The text was tape transferred on as well. I went into the shading of the figure with some marker and white acrylic paint for the super high-lights.
