Patricia Piccinini inspired image

Mummy Alex visits Flinders street with her babies

In this image i used my own city photo as the background. I cropped alex's face out of another photo and blended it, using the eraser, smudge and blur tools, into another person. I then used the lasso tool and the background eraser tool to erase the mole rat's background. After that I copied alex's eyes and nose onto the mole rat and then used the blur and smudge tool to blend it onto the mole rats face. i copied these two and used the transform tool to make it a smaller mole rat child.

This is inspired by patricia piccinini because it involves the inhumane mix of baby and animal.

This shocks me

These photographs are from a 14 photograph collection of images of anorexic models called 'Thirty- two Kilos' by german photographer Ivonne Thein. The collection was taken to highlight the link between high fashion and anorexia in young men and women. While the eating disorder that these people suffer from is horrible and how small they re shocks me, I admire Ivonne for the bold and daring artworks.

Inspires me

These photographs by nicole Bentley of model Abbey Lee Kershaw inspire me for many reasons. I dream of being a fashion photographer and Nicole Bentley is an idol of mine, I also love sunlit photographs which has been used here. It inspires me to go out and experiment with my own photography of models.. aka my friends.

Surrealist Landscape photoshop Image- Impending Doom

This photoshop image is entitled 'Impending Doom' I started with the image of the tornado and road, used transform and the different lasso too erase the background, also used the eraser and magic wand tool to select the background of images, delete it to make sure all i have is my image. The three lightning bolts are actually all the same image but i used transform, rotate, erase and duplicating the image.

I used an understanding of how layers work to put the road in front of the volcano and fire to make sure it looks like a real perspective. I used the brush and and airbrush tool to draw the smoke from the fire and the volcano, I also used this tool to draw the crack in the road.

Flinders Street Station in Black and White

This shocks me

I rather say that this saddens me. It builds up a heavy knot of sorrow in my stomach that makes me want to cry.

The subject of an anorexic young woman is what 'shocks' me.

The actualy painting is very nicely done, I do like the use of light and shadows which helps emphasize her pretruding bones.

The artist I couldn't find but I was set on using this image.

This inspires me

This painting "Cathy" by Andrew Newton inspires me because I really would love to attempt a close up, detailed painting of a face for my painting task.

The realistic lighting and intricate details make me feel determined to attempt such a challenge.

I also like how he has used different brushstrokes to show wrinkles which shows that whilst he is being extremely realistic there is still room for creativity.
