"Spring" 1998
The Fairy tale
My rendition.
Amano is a genius. And I absolutely love his work. His women are beautiful, fluid, and just gracefully lonely. His art has a mysterious and sensual quality about them that haunts you, quietly kindling your imagination to greater heights.
It's interesting that I ended up doing this illustration for this assignment because it's entitled "Spring." It's somehow appropriate to how things are going right now. Winter's almost halfway over and I'm graduating soon. There's so much to look forward to and yet no matter how exciting it is, I'm still in "battle mode" trying to prepare for what's inevitable. It's surely a competitive industry out there and right now I'm grateful for this environment surrounded by friends and teachers who have the best intentions.
On that note, this portrait wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for Jessica Ramsey and Rich Lily. The flowers refused to stay taped to my back so Rich had to hold them. For this assignment, we weren't allowed to composite so everything had to be done in camera. I love love love the way it turned out.
