“Eye Study” ~1hr sketch timelapse by Sam Spratt
This is my very first video…ever and I suppose there is a bit of “stage fright” that goes along with that. I realized that the general public are not my old professors, family, or friends, and haven’t seen the process behind my many portraits, creatures, rage faces, and other illustrations—thus, I’m opening up the inner circle to you so that you can see how I make the odd things that I do. I figured I would begin with realism and graduate to weirder and more complex things in future videos. Oh and that mind-blowingly amazing cover of Kanye you’re hearing? That’s by the amazing, Sarah Winters
“Portrait of Alexander McQueen” - by Sam Spratt
I’m not much for fashion. I have a passing appreciation for it—but outside of the occasional project runway episode I got roped into by ex-girlfriends, It’s pretty foreign territory. However, yesterday, I “tumbl’d” upon some of his work and postmortem exhibits (which I had seen before, but never in depth), and went down a rabbit-hole of research pouring over what I can only describe as works of art. It was a pretty experimental portrait, studying and trying to imagine visual elements from his garments/designs into something of a surreal painting—favoring expression/form over traditional likeness.
Even if you don’t give two shits about fashion, I recommend googling “alexander mcqueen savage beauty”—sorta mind-blowing.
