Remembering Senna

Wow, it's been a while since I've actually posted something to the blog...

Anyways, last Thursday marked the twentieth anniversary of the death of Ayrton Senna. For those who don't know who Senna is, he was a 3 times world champion Brazilian formula 1 driver who tragically died at the San Marino Grand Prix in Imola, Italy after his Williams Renault went off the track at 190mph and hit a concrete wall head on at 170mph.. The video above talks about the day in 1988 in Monte Carlo at the Monaco Grand Prix when he out-qualified his team-mate by almost 2 seconds, which is unheard of in Formula 1 (the voice in the video is Senna recalling his experience at Monaco). The video below is an excerpt from the movie entitled "Senna" that was made about him that was released in 2011.
And if you're really interested, you can watch the entire movie on Netflix...

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Speed Painting

This a painting made in Photoshop by a guy who goes by the name " The Concept Painter " on Youtube. He does lots of Photoshop speed painting videos and also air brush videos. This particular painting took him 3.5 hours to complete and was made using a drawing tablet similar to the ones we use in our class.

Another Comic Book Artist (Woo!): Annie Wu

 If you have talked to me for more than one minute, I am a huge nerd. So, I am making another post about comic book artists. This time it's Annie Wu. She's a comic book artists who lives in Chicago, and is one of my inspiration artists for my sustained investigation. A lot of her work is dramatic with deep and dark lines with bold colors which is makes style perfect for where I first found her work. I first saw her work in the Black Canary book in 2017. Eventually, I will talk about Marvel comic book artists, but not today. If you want to check out more of her work, here is her website:  https://www.anniewuart.com/
