Geo Melee
I'm working on my portfolio and trying to get about 200 pieces represented. I've primarily done the first part with photography, but lately I've taken a try at illustrating the next set of works. These pieces will come from a love for simple geometry I've had since I was in high school, and the first few pieces reminds me of a satellite map of Manhattan, NY.
I remember watching a Hitchcock episode with my wife where Salvador Dali and Hitchcock teamed up. What a weird combination! The most prominent memory I have from that episode was a table with eyes printed all over held up by feminine legs. Salvador Dali has always fascinated me with his spooky poses, but his work drove me to try drawing eyes myself. The third piece with a blue border takes the geometric melee and adds the eye of an observer. The colors are picked based on a neon trend I've seen lately and I left the eye in pencil to be a quiet rebellion to this trend. Both the eye and geometry oppose each other and yet they join forces to polarize the illustration.
These 3 illustrations templates are available on etsy. I say templates because I will make a few variations of the piece and you can choose one that resonates with you. This keeps each piece unique and allows for the best match between you and the geometric melees that will ensue.
