Why don’t you just Full8Me!

Lately I have been exploring my creative side again. (and no, this is not just another quirky euphamism for flogging the flagpole…)

I am in a second writing contest (the second annual AmGayDuWriCha contest) but quite honestly, the story I’m working on isn’t interesting me, and I only have about 7500 words to go, with ten days left to write it.

So, in the meantime, instead of writing, I have been ‘creating’ what I have termed “Digital Paintings” - Which is basically just a fancy way of saying that I take pictures, (mostly of myself up to this point) and then fuck with them in Photoshop, MSPaint, and Illustrator.

My inspiration has been the graphic artist/street artist, Shepard Fairey, the guy who did the now famous Obama “Hope” posters.

My work is of course nowhere as good as his, but what the hell, I’ve only been doing it for a week, and he’s had about 25 years and a degree in graphic arts to help him get up to speed.

Here are a few of my pieces. None of them have any special meaning, so don’t ask if they do.

This was the first one I did, a knockoff of the Obama poster:

then I did one of my ex-roommate,

and my chickenshit dog

This is my Russian Propaganda piece:

and this is my Cuban Propaganda piece:

I’ve also done some random ones based on whatever the mood of the picture struck me with:

a stamp? Circus poster?

Alternate ego of Gay Superheroes?

I have no fucking clue what this is or means?

If nothing else, these “Digital Paintings” have tought me that I am WAAAY more narcisistic than I ever imagined! I’m thinking of doing some ‘paintings’ of some of the sexy chicks in the world that I’d like to bang… so that might be my next ‘painting’ I add.

~Peace~
