Weirdism and Whatnot



My friend Jehan and I, in a sort of effort to blow off steam from work, came up with a contrived art movement called "Weirdism". It started off as a sort of silly fun thing and moved into something we both actually really like to do. It's pretty far from concept art, but that is essentially why we started to do it--to keep things fresh. Just for fun we created pseudonyms; mine being S. Bleufield. Is it ridiculous?? Pretty much, but hey, so am I. Jehan was inspired by Bowie and I took a stab at Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood from Radiohead.

Hey, I'm just noticing your Thom Yorke looks strikingly similar to your self portrait a while back...give or take some neon yellow.

If he looks more like me than Thom Yorke, I am in some trouble...maybe too much yellow!

It's not the best likeness, I know. Still have a lot of road to cover with the whole weirdism thing. The toughest part is staying weird while conveying the thing I am trying to convey. This piece, to me, may have failed on both counts, but it was fun!
