Number 20: flaming sword redux




I'm revisiting some content from about a year ago on this piece.
It was an icon to hang paint and materials on, and I wanted to see how it would look, given my current processes.

Number 19: The Unicorn



The subject of many of my previous pieces had a very "testosteronie" content (i.e. skulls, swords, etc.)
I wondered what I would come up with if I moved 180 degrees.
I have been fascinated by the color pink, as it seems to be the only gender-specific color. So that was the first step.
For content I guess I'm sort of trying to channel the aesthetic of an 11-year old girl, hence: the unicorn, and tiara.
I feel this still falls within the range of mythical content that appeals to me.

Wood, acrylic, epoxy, spackle, glitter, tiara,

Here is a sort of "moodboard" I came up with early on.
