In Drawing we were assigned to draw a building in our town, I drew an office building that happens to be across the road from my house. THIS ASSIGNMENT WAS DIFFICULT FOR ME. Come on, I know, I know, it's basic geometry and lines. No, it was hard. I started over mmm.. maybe 14 times. But here it is... right there ---> I was mostly pleased with it and the hard work I put into it. THEN.... We were introduced to a man named Henry Darger. He was a quiet, poor man and after he died, then was he discovered to be an artist and novelist. They found a 1000+ page novel titled "Realms of the Unreal", and thousands of pieces of art that he created. What does this man have to do with my architectural drawing? Well, Henry created art with whatever he could find, he did a lot of clipping and pasting, and water-coloring over drawings, among a variety of other art application. My wonderful instructor wanted us to take our drawings and adjust them to how Henry Darger may have. I went to town with watercolors and WHAMMY! I got that psychedelic piece. (With strong encouragements and inspiration by dozens of episodes of Star Trek and Scrubs.) Regardless, I was VERY pleased with how my piece turned out. It is nuts. T.Jay called it the "mushroom house" as in a reference to the hallucinogen. My classmates seemed to agree.
Speaking of classmates, here is my classmate Scott's house. I loved it, from the cartoon shark to the young, flying pirate girl.
