Portrait of Philip Glass
March 15, 2009 8:23 pm
This is a portrait of Philip Glass… His work has inspired me through many pairs of shoes and his track ‘Cue 2B (Piano)’ from the Candyman soundtrack is the main inspiration behind ‘A Seige of Colour‘. The idea for the film was originally a kind of visual interpretation of this piece but seems to have continually grown beyond the timings of the music and may need something original writing specifically for the film… Perhaps using this piece as a starting point.
Anyway… The image above was digitally painted in Adobe Photoshop using a couple of standard brushes and a Wacom graphics tablet, it took approximately 3 jugs of coffee from start to finish. The main reason for doing it was to take my mind off the visual treatment of the butterfly and completely focus it on something else… “Maybe I can’t see the wood for the trees” I mutter to myself. Well… I think I’ll start thinking about the butterfly again tomorrow, hopefully the back of my mind will have had some ideas.
