Art and Brief Discussion

This is an image I made for a sculptural proposition, titled "Leporidae Man."
I used mixed media, primarily ink, colored pencil, and also the Microsoft Paint program.
Leporidae is the general term for the family of hare and rabbit species, so I thought it was appropriate to
use a broad contextual term to describe this fellow. Ideally, I would have this made into a life-size sculpture, complete with wine stains, real flies, and smoke-drenched clothing.
I won't reveal too much about the content of this piece however, because it is important for the viewer to speculate the meaning.

  2. Instantly in brings back memories of the hazy night when we first viewed Inland Empire. The first movie that tested my ability to rationalize and interpret in cinema, for which the Rabbit scene was the epicenter to such.

    To this poster, this piece showcases life's constant struggle to achieve success and happiness. Being successful doesn't translate into harmony; this surreal art illustrates way how one can achieve in life and still be miserable, searching for ways to cloud our thoughts.
