Tree of Life

By Anonymous

Hello all!
At first glance, “Tree of Life” looks to be simply a handsome rubbing of a tree trunk cross-section, which alone I find pretty attractive. But closer scrutiny reveals tree rings made up of thousands of minuscule animal drawings. Designed by Gary, Aaron & Khairul of Degree, "Tree of Life" was created with the intent of drawing attention to rainforest deforestation and the dwindling habitat of millions of animal species that live there, or are now extinct. 
Pretty cool, huh?

    I love this! I honestly didn't even notice the animals until I read what you said! The concept is so cool and it's crazy how long that probably took to draw the thousands of individual animals

    This is amazing! Just the thought and detail and time that had to go into this piece is really awesome.

    I like the statement that's being made with this piece, and also the fact that all life begins with plants, represented by the tree.

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.

Malena Bozzini         Malena Bozzini is a sophomore college student studying psychology. As her passion she is an artist. Her work is so original and abstract in order to dramatize her figures. She creates art out of emotion and uses her feelings to choose color and shape. One of the most interesting facts is that all of her pieces are done with colored pencils. Her art is so expressive that each piece gives out its own vibe. What makes her art unique is that it is inspired by motion and gestures. It is amazing how she developed such a style at such a young age.  Instagram @ malenabozzini

Another Comic Book Artist (Woo!): Annie Wu

By Anonymous
 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/
