Artist's Comments

Another from drawing class, about 20"x30" with conte or charcoal, I forget which. Anyway, it had to be based on alcoholism. So, after a bit of thought, I decided to mock the Absolut Vodka ads. And, conveniently enough, I've got a friend, Linda who can jam herself inside of a 1/2 locker, which is proportionate to the bottle. Messed with the face a little; Linda's much better-looking in person. For a woman, anyway. Teacher really liked it, said that it was very pop-artsy, so that was the category that I ultimately plopped it into.

Edit June 16th: Damn. Guess I'll have to scan in a better copy...

Awesomeness in a can (plus 10). I like this a lot. It's very very well-done, looks awesome, makes a statement, and mocks something that involves that statment. Rock on.
