This artists' work blows me away without question. I actually found this artist through the IFX magazine I've been reading. There's a couple of other artists in the magazine that have really caught my attention which I will post later on but for now, back to Android Jones.
I love how his work is very abstract yet there are elements of symmetry thrown in there, especially in the faces. I'm very fond of symmetrical works, you'll probably be able to tell because I tend to draw people's faces forward facing. I am going to try experiment with different poses and angles as the course progresses though so my work isn't so one dimensional.
I've noticed from looking through his gallery and his portfolio pieces that he enjoys drawing the female form. I adore how he's drawn the lips and eyes~ They look so soft yet fierce. The winged shapes and abstract forms coming out from the eyelids are really intriguing. It really highlights the eyes and makes them the focal point of of his images despite the noisy abstract backgrounds. Even without these peculiar features the faces in general are very simplistic and pure. I think his style might influence my work enormously when I come to looking at make-up. The Egyptians wore quite heavy make-up to protect their eyes from the sun as well as for beauty. Egyptian Gods also have animal features so I think that my concept would nicely marry influence from his work.
