some recent work here, mainly been making collage made from a single photograph…sure to draw figures and scenes as well so as not to get rusty.
Empress Jingū (onna bugeisha) 7.29.16 Collage made from a single photograph of a shower curtain taken in Berea, KY. Made on Paint, enhanced with Fotor. Jingū (c. 169-269 AD) led a Japanese conquest of Korea without blood-shed. She was an original onna bugeisha, female warriors which predated samurai. In 1881, Empress Jingū became the first woman to be featured on a Japanese banknote.
this is the photograph of a shower curtain in an artist’s studio in Burton, KY from which i made Empress Jingu:
