Coming Of Age

Finally finished this darn thing(s). You can see in the pictures before and after butchering. I was pissed, but I'm just letting it go.
I also put color on, this is how these pieces would look if I had my way, but the gallery show is specifically black and white on paper. Enjoy. Does no one comment on my blog anymore? I don't feel the love :(

I wanted to actually go into what this is about. Bare with me. This is a coming of age piece. The left represents the female struggle, and the right, the male's struggle. Female side deals with birth, loss of innocence, sexuality, menstruation, life, etc. Male side deals with the phallic struggle (phallic tentacles v.s. phallic knife), abjection, urges/sexuality, death, etc. I could say a ton more, but I hate spelling it out. In real life I talk about my work with more grace, but its 3:30 am and I have to get up at 7....












(P.S. No artwork is complete without Odin's butt having been on it.)

Oh and this too.

This is from way back in April. This was a show in SoHo, organized by Twin Q. We drew live on camera to a few tracks of a selected artist in their studio, then the show was in Manhattan on my birth date.
I really need to hire someone to keep track of this stuff. I'm so aloof and reclusive :(

You can download each one, I'm Chelsea Greene Lewyta, duh. http://files.rabbitcontent.com/TWiN_Q_Department/

UGH

I'm so frustrated. I still don't have my loft bed that raises my matress off the floor for my desk to go under, my apartment looks like an art/clothes bomb went off. Couldn't find tape, can't find pens. I'm calling it a night before I eat this. I really didn't want to tack this :(
Next step inks...



*Update*
First ink layer on the left piece. After I lay down ink on the second I'm going to go in with some loose ink. I've never really worked with ink before, I made so many mistakes...
