Artwork2 Classics On T-shirt

From the start, they were just stupid doddling on my log book.
Now, they become something which can rack my brain, give me happiness and great satisfaction.
And that satisfaction most likely comes from others' positive comment on them.
well..I dun know. Sometimes I just lose faith on myself. I always suspect myself like this : maybe my friend just wanna make me happy. They dont really think they are cool.

As a creator, the perception about my pieces shouldnt first come from the others, right? I should always stick to my own principal and be fond of my own creation,right?
I just think I myself sort of overweight others' comment, which sometimes draw a frame round my brain.

When this photograph has been published to facebook, many people said they wanted one.
I should have been amused to hear that, shouldnt I? but I havent.

I dont y, mayb I am just not ready to make my artwork commercial.
or maybe I would rather enjoy doodling freely on the paper, instead of caring wht the market wants.

Anyways,I dont mean that I am not willing to hear the support from u.
I still want it so bad cuz it definitely encourages me to keep going. (;

Artwork1 My dear Donald Tsang

In the 1960s, Andy Warhol created several “mass-produced” images from photographs of celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Jackie Onassis.

Unlike the Fauve(野獸派畫家)colors, the non-representational colors of Pop Art do not depict the artist’s inner sensation of the world. They refer to the popular culture, which also inspires Warhol to experiment with the technique of silkscreen (以絲幕上模型複製圖案之方法)printing, a popular technique used for mass production. In doing so, Warhol moves away from the elitist avant-garde tradition. Initially, many spectators received this new marriage between art and commodity culture with little enthusiasm.

On the occasion of Marilyn Monroe’s suicide in August 1962, Warhol used this image for his screenprinting. It was a publicity shot by Gene Korman for the film Niagara, made in 1953.

Warhol was fascinated with morbid concepts. Sometimes, however, the results are astonishingly beautiful, such as the resonating, brilliantly colored images of Marilyn Monroe. The Marilyn canvases were early examples of Warhol’s use of silkscreen printing, a method the artist experimented with, recalling:

In August 62 I started doing silkscreens. I wanted something stronger that gave more of an assembly line effect. With silkscreening you pick a photograph, blow it up, transfer it in glue onto silk, and then roll ink across it so the ink goes through the silk but not through the glue. That way you get the same image, slightly different each time. It was all so simple quick and chancy. I was thrilled with it. When Marilyn Monroe happened to die that month, I got the idea to make screens of her beautiful face the first Marilyns.

Using photo-stencils in screen-printing, Warhol uses photographic images for his screenprints. The screen is prepared using a photographic process, and then different color inks are printed using a rubber squeegee to press the paint onto the painting through the screen.

In 2009, I started using photoshop. I wanted a tool which is easy to manage but can still help me create something strong that gave more of an assembly line effect. With photoshop you pick a photograph, copy it, and then choose a colour, pour the colour you chose on the photograph by your mosue so the ink goes through the picture. That way you get the same image, slightly different each time. It was all so simple quick and chancy. I was excited about it. When Donald Tsang shows his discontent with the anti-Express Rail Link demonstrators , I got the idea to make screens of his ugly face the first Donald.
