armadillo

Several years ago I took a painting class where we had to create x amount of paintings. Well, I really got into it and during classes, I'd go into my own little world. I finished all the assigned paintings early, so the professor brought in this armadillo skeleton, which, i think was meant to keep me busy for a while. Instead, I tried something new. Instead of painting the entire thing, as is, I tried something new for me. I experimented with a new idea, a new style. What you see here is the final image. People who see it, either love it's oddity, or hate it for the same reason. Whether this is a successful piece or not, it led me to further experiment and create this collage like style.
