I don't know why but I
have a keen on hats, no matter whether its a bowler hat,
a trilby hat, a beanie hat, a costume hat or a simple knitted hat. I buy one or two in every year, especially love
the unusual ones like that fox-eared I have. I even made at home once some
crazy hats with eyes or another one was a tea-party hat with bloody tea cups on
it… etc. You can see them here
This is my favourite. I
bought this beanie two years ago [in H&M…] but I still love it, it
inspired me for a painting as well
I asked my mom where this mania came from. According to her when
I was a child I always "borrowed" her and dad's old hats since I was 5-6 years
old and I run up and down on the streets in them or sang and danced at home in those enormous hats… Thank Buddha I ended for good – at
least - this behaviour… Now my youngest nephew started this hobby as I see... Haha
But about beanies too…
I can't believe how
accurately the 90's in fashion again… [beside the hippie era] I mean there are almost
exactly the same shirts and others in the shops… fashion designers run out of
every original ideas for a long time now… that business world will blow up once
but who cares…
I just think I regret
that I threw away those great glittered jelly
rubber platform sandals I
had when I was teen… I remember that every jewelry of mine was white daisy, blue flowers and neon green things… I
even had those disgusting plastic dummies as well, 10 or 15 hanged in my neck... ~Urgh /And I just wonder why I was hated in school… Hahaha/ I still try to find my silver glittered plastic U.F.O sunglasses in the
cellar, I can't remember which box I put in…. ~Ugh strange fashion was in those
times too…
I can't believe I have found on the net, I had in gold glitter version... nice, eh?
About beanie hats I
remembered this video from 1994 with the girl with the yellow hat and dark
lipstick at 2:35. It's just I like the girl's styling or what... gives me memories... [Don't laugh on the music! Haha]
Video from YouTube. Well I borrowed it.
Funny or not I was a huge
rave and dreamdance music fan when I was teen [beside the glorious hair metal
and grounge of course]. RMB was one of my favourite band as well as this - and
only - song from the - now odd - East17. Focus on that loooong hat, soo epic now, and those
serious faces!! Hahaha
So this is my first
digital oil work
I'm still a beginner yet
in digital painting as well as in oil, I try to find my own way. There are some parts I don't like now and at the next work I will try to avoid the mistake.
I'm planning to take some lessons by web course from this guy. He studied classical portraiture in Florence! Oh that nasty fortunate one...
I made this in ArtRage4. I love modern era
inventions like this painting program too. For a hobbyist like me oil paint,
canvas and the others are very pricy fun in Hungary, not to mention that our home is small to collect canvases just for, so it was a worth to buy
this program instead. I already have an old drawing tablet [Wacom], so painting and
drawing with these is much more easier, not to mention cheaper to me. No mess,
no strong paint smell... Although I'm an artist I cannot bear oil or other
paints and reducer smell… give me headache... interesting but I don't care.
Why purple eyebrows?
In the 90's ravers liked
to color their eyebrows [beside many other loony habits…]. I don't
know what was the good in it, I never did. But now that crazy era is in fashion
again so I gave it a try… and purple because it's me... Haha
Marusha was also one of
my favourite rave musician in those times. She weared beanies all the
time and liked to color her eyebrows green… She was/is a very unique persona.
This hat is fun... or is it just me again... nevermind
