The Werewolf

So, in my art class, we were assigned a collaboration project. By "collaboration," I mean we were assigned a semi-famous contemporary artist and told to create something that responded to their work.

My artist was Kiki Smith. Now, I don't know if any of you are familiar with Smith's stuff (mostly sculptures) but she does a lot of illustrative, childlike, flat looking fairy-tale illustrations. Most of them are prints, not paintings, even some photo-manips.

Smith has a sort of fixation on the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood. She has done many prints of Grandma, Red and the Wolf in various scenes and poses. She also has a penchant for self-portraits done in freaky ways.

So, I give you my own take on Kiki Smith. A drawing of myself, as a werewolf (stupid self portrait, it *almost* looks like me) out doing mah werewolf thang during a total lunar eclipse. Froody!

The little details are hard to see. Due to the size of the peice, I couldn't scan it and had to try and photograph it. It's kindof shat-looking, I'll have to fix it later. Right now, I must rest.
