2008 RMIT Application Portfolio

 

Warning, there are a few penises drawn here and there in this gallery.

In 2008 I applied and was accepted to the masters in contemporary painting program at RMIT (Hong Kong campus.

As I prepare a much improved portfolio for PNCA I find these watercolours and drawings laughable yet endearing.

The fascinating thing is that I can already see what would develop into my style in these pics, especially the water colours.

I cant imagine presenting such an unpolished portfolio to anyone now but maybe that is what they liked about it.  

The full gallery is posted on my website:  WWW.ARTOFGDDS.COM


This is a link to just the gallery page:

Fujiarts.com awesome site. LOVE woodblock prints. amazing

Fuji Arts from Ann Arbor is an amazing Japanese wood block print dealer.   Love their website.  I wanna learn all I can about this stuff.  Their inks and paper last centuries.  Some of the prints I saw at the Portland Art Museum are 300 + years old and still vibrant.  Amazing.

text from the fuji arts website.  I guess the above piece is a part of an auction.

Original Kamisaka Sekka (1866 - 1942) Japanese Woodblock print
First Edition Sekka Butterfly
Series; 1000 Butterflies
Cho Senshu

This Original, Sekka Woodblock Print - An incredible Kamisaka Sekka design from one of his fantastic contemporary print series. This print and the others offered in our auctions tonight are from a single series done by Sekka in 1904. Our original prints are from an original early 20th century release of the album. These beautiful butterfly designs are very rare and difficult to come by. These original Sekka prints offered tonight are incredible contemporary designs printed using the highest quality printing techniques, some with mica embellishments. They represent the pinnacle of Sekka’s career. Sekka woodblock prints are very rare these days and our offerings this evening are a great opportunity to collect works by this 20th century master.
Artist - Kamisaka Sekka (1866-1942)
Size - 12 1/2" x 9 3/4"
Condition - In excellent condition overall as shown with fine original color and detail. No holes, tears, damage, repairs or other issues to report. Beautiful old paper. Some light paper remnants remain on reverse at left and right edges, edges only, from folio removal (not an issue). Note; the print was folded vertically as are all Sekka butterfly prints, now flattened. Sekka butterfly prints were folio presentations, so, all butterfly prints have this folio fold. An excellent example of Sekka's butterfly prints and a good choice for the discerning collector.
