There were a variety of pieces that resonated with me. perfect harmonizing, baby. Gettin' steezed out. Maybe I'm being narrow-minded because most of my work this semester has been an exploration of boys world and photographing myself. But, what I haven't managed to accomplish is a commentary about fashion advertisement, vulgarity, exploitation of resources. Well done, sir. I'd like to address the comment below about this art being "crappy". I wonder if this person enjoys work I would consider crap? probably. :) I love the subjectivity of art. No one can truly win a game without rules. But, they can make bigger splashes. Hawkins, 1: Us, 0
I enjoyed the collages, specifically SJJSS, 1993. (Suffering, Jealous, Jealous, Suffering, Suffering) In the central portion of the image is a well built, bronzed white male wearing garb meant to mimic the African clothing of the Africans standing around him. This image has the word jealous written across it. Why is the artist working with male fashion models? In my experience, the majority of fashion images depict women. Anyways, funny prose about male fashion can be found here http://fuckyeahmenswear.tumblr.com/
