Dali

I'm adding some old art that I think is pretty good.

This piece was done in the spring of '09. It's my first woodcut and I'm pretty happy with it. The assignment was fairly open ended, we just had to have multiple layers on the foreground and the background (at least four layers total). I thought it was just four layers period, so I originally just had Dali's face broken down into four different layers. You might recognize that this was adapted from a famous photograph of him, only reversed. So, then I had to go back and add stuff to the background, which were just little images of common motifs in Dali's paintings. They're patterny, and the colors aren't quite right (the green should be much brighter and more visible). I honestly would prefer it cropped, but I might as well have it in it's entirety here.
