McBess

All of McBess's work is very similar, similar characters and colours. Very rarely does he include more colour than simple black and white, but I think his work is best this way. It really brings out the detail in his work. If you added colour to his more complex detailed pieces it would seem like there is too much going on and you wouldn't know where to look. Keeping it simple means you can take you time looking over the whole piece without getting a headache. I love McBess's use of lines though and want to bring this into my work and see if it works. I love working with black and white, its so classic.

This piece really stood out to me because of the lack of bright colours in it. Even colours that would normally be bright have been dulled down (the rainbow). I think this piece resembles depression very well. The expression on the girls face and the way she's standing and the fact its raining just shows cold and loneliness.

Isabel's work caught my eye instantly as it was the front cover of a magazine I was looking through. The amount of detail added to the piece makes it so interesting. It's one of those pieces that you see something different every time you look at it. Personally I think this is what a good piece of artwork is, something people can't take their eyes off of because there is too much to look at. The fact Isabel has used such basic colour makes it easier to look as well, if this piece was covered in colour it would probably just give you a headache, it wouldn't work as well as it does in black and white. I love how simple it is but so affective.

I discovered Chris's work in a Nobrow magazine, this piece caught my eye because the use of colour. The blue tones in his work makes it seem very cold and quite depressing which I thought fitted in with my work perfectly. The position and look on the child's face also fit in with the colour scheme of the painting, they are very vague and her eyes seem almost worried.

"I have dermatographia a condition in which one's immune system releases excessive amounts of histamine using capillaries to dilate and welts appear (lasting about thirty minutes) when the hypersensitive skin's surface is lightly scratched. This allows me to painlessly draw on my skin with just enought time to photograph the results."
