BMA243, digital illustration, 1080 and Victor Safonkin poster, 19 August

Due next week: Paint in the style of VS, combine human and animal, use his colour palette, theme 1080 poison relative to New Zealand. (reminds me of Hieronymous Bosch's work) research 1080.  Try mixer brush (under brush menu on right side), play around with levels if photocollaging in lieu of sketching.  Get a story behind the painting (creatures, poison, cannisters, humans, etc.) A2, 300 dpi, landscape orientation

 For 1080: nasty possums and stoats raiding ground bird nests.

Against 1080:  It kills EVERYTHING that gets it and there is no antidote.  It remains active in the flesh of animals until they have completely decomposed.  As it takes 2-4 days for large animals to die from the poison, it is entirely possibly that it could accidentally make its way into the human food supply.

Combine human and animals into grotesque creatures, in this style

Safonkin's work reminds me of Hieronymus Bosch

Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights
