#365AnnieDoodles Week 15: Collage, Tits, and Flying Apples
Hey dudes and dudettes! How fun to know that you're reading this post on our brand spankin' new, redesigned site--lookin' good, huh? We're *almost* completely up to date now in our online shop of #365AnnieDoodles, which means you can browse for your faves that have been posted throughout the first few months of the year.
Annie's still going strong on Instagram--follow there for daily updates--but while you're here get the behind-the-scenes scoop on some of her faves from the past few weeks.
I found the font for this print online, printed Yay For Us, and then cut out every letter. In order to get the crisp lines, I loaded up my brush with paint and did the edges first; before that had a chance to dry I loaded up my brush with water and allowed a drop to falls directly onto the print. Then I manipulated that around with my brush until it was the way I like it. I had just gotten some new brushes—whatever happened to be on sale—and nothing makes me happier than a brand new pointy brush!
I was back with the ladies big time for a bit. My favorite was really fun to do and has an interesting story to go along with it! An Indian actress named Lakshmi Manchu came into the studio a few weeks ago and commissioned me to do one of my “Haters Gon Hate” paintings over a photo of her. She and her friend went through all the pics on her phone and picked a good one, which she sent to me; I printed out a few to get the right size, so I had an extra. Her eyes are so beautiful, so I painted a bunch of flowers and collaged them over her face for a doodle. I love the way it turned out.
I'm going to start teaching a collage class at the studio soon, and I did a trial run last week. Both of these came out of that experience--prepping, painting, and printing ephemera for everyone to use.
