The Vineby *Carnegriff

Traditional Art / Drawings / Surreal

It's about alcoholism, drawn in ink and alcohol, vodka, brandy, whisky

Critique by ~amidarosa Feb 19, 2011, 12:01:01 AM

This piece is quite striking at a glance, but when I enlarged it and saw your description I really must applaud you to use unconventional materials, the alcohol. Its a pity that traditional works are only seen as web images in Deviantart because I'm guessing working with alcohol, the work must've also smelled like the stench of wine and vodka, which contributes to the overall feel of the piece. I particularly like how there are a variety of elements in this piece and yet its blended together so well. I also like how only less than half of the face is still uncovered by the vines that seem like rotting into her face, just like how alcohol intoxication eats you away bit by bit. The longer I look at this piece the more I find subtleties, such as the clever placement of the wine glass below. The only complain is that the image is slightly out of focus when enlarged, but that's a very minor problem. Anyways great job!

I love your use of alcohol as a medium, I think it's very innovative and interesting. I love your use of tea in other pieces you've done - I think both blend well with ink, which is probably part of the success. However, the subtleties in your work really make it something incredible - I am just in awe of your work. Fantastic.
