article: Alliances | written down

I really liked the idea of this one, particularly the movie geek route.
I spent a week or two obsessing about which gang was my gang and just narrowly avoided a whole mind-mapping chart of who could fulfill which role in which alliance, with Buffy/LOTR/Star Wars cross referencing.

I struggled with casting myself as Frodo – not identifying with him particularly, but then if this is my art journal, my life, it kinda has to be my quest!

I don’t know whether you’ll be able to read the journalling on this scan – if not, I’ll type it in.



Techniques – acrylic and gel medium, inkjet printout on regular paper, gold acrylic brushed over. People outlines scratched out of wet acrylic/gel medium mixture with round end of paintbrush, highlighted with gold auras.
