The Wonderful World of Charley Harper

Hey guys! My name is Katy Hampton and I would love to share my favorite artist with you! You may have seen some of his work all around the city, he is very famous in Cincinnati because from his career in college to the day he passed, he lived right here in the city! His name is Charley Harper. He studied at the Art Academy of Cincinnati. He is one of my favorites due to the fact that his art is very symmetrical and straight forward, which may be boring to some. One of his most known art works is his red cardinal.

my favorite piece

My dad along with his fiancé Anna love harpers work! so much that my dad gave me a project one day to paint one of Harpers works on our garage doors! Here is what we based our project on...

It took us a day and a half to get this design on our small garage doors. Here are a few photos of the doors being put together ...

Last Blog Post

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/
