Drift. 2010. Oil pastel on paper. 5" x 7".
Drifters was inspired by the cover photograph on Owl City's single, "Hot Air Balloon." There really is not much deep meaning behind this picture; I just wanted to try working with oil pastels, and this bright picture was the perfect place to test my mew media. As a consequence of this work, I am not a big fan of oil pastels. I find them gummy and difficult to make precise lines with. However, they produce rich and vivid colors and are easy to blend. I can definitely see a work like this being hung in a baby's bedroom since it is kind of silly and fluffy looking.
