New Artwork: Turn around, Tune in, Drop out

in art •  7 years ago 

Dear friends and followers,

today I want to share this new artwork with you, that I just finished. It reminds me a bit of the work of James Rizzi but as it also looks quite psychedelic, I thought about the famous Tim Leary quote: "Turn on, tune in, drop out". Because it works either way around, I slightly changed the quote to:

"Turn around, tune in, drop out"

The artwork is based on this sketch I did some weeks ago. The left and right side are the same drawing, just turned by 180 degrees.

Some time later I was trying to colorize the drawing by hand, but somehow got stuck. So I decided to end this piece digitally. After scanning, I first redrew the outlines in Photoshop:


Here are some intermediate stages. As you can see, I was also blending the texture of the original drawing with the colors, so that I got a more analog look.


Here is the final piece again in full width:

And here is the same piece turned around:

I really like, how this finally turned out and hope, that you like it as much, as I do :-)

I'm also thinking about selling some limited (and signed) prints of this work. Please let me know, if you'd be interested in this!

Until then: Have a great saturday night!

Very interesting piece... funny, when I opened the post I thought: this reminds me of Rizzi... only to read exactly that a moment later!

Haha, thanks for your feedback! I guess, we have a point there. It's funny, because when I create something I never think about how it's going to end. Maybe I'm still searching for my personal style...
