Skateboard Design

By Charlie Dulyakarn 1745

                This artwork series is an abstract graphic artwork that being design to apply for skateboards. The idea or inspiration of the characters is from the game called “Touhou Project”. The style is portrait in neoplasticism, which is one of the abstract types of artwork, that been created in early 20^th century by Dutch painter Theo van Doesburg and Piet Mondrain.

                The artwork technique is inspire from the artwork of Mona Lisa that been portrait in neoplasticism with several of colours. Then this artwork started from draw all the characters.  Then later change into another abstract work familiar with Picasso’s artworks which make distortion to the character into weird shapes. Applied the lines randomly, to created neoplasticism.

                In together, there are 2 abstract styles applied into a single artwork. This artwork is series which means that each skateboard have connection to each other. All skateboards have continuity that connect between each other, and they all being filled in colours. There are many colours in this series, but there are six main colours which are Yellow, Blue, Red, Gray, Purple and White. The colours become composition of this artwork and each skateboard, exclude white, have 1 main colour applied. They make variation and difference. The artwork itself has balance and unbalance in it. The balance is the position of the character and the things such as colours and lines becomes unbalance.

                This artwork has limited target audience. The audiences are the people who like the abstract style of this artwork and people who know the characters series.

Abstract Research

ABSTRACT

             The abstract art is the new development of art style that happens in early 20th century. It is the art style that hard to understand or sometimes cannot understand at all. The artworks are totally new and different from the exist art style and also been disapproved or unacceptable by the people from those time. The abstract could be anything, beyond realistic, unphysical and even fantasy from imagination. There are many type of abstract arts such as, cubism that introduce by Pablo Picasso, Neoplasticism by Piet Mondrain and Theo van Doesburg, Expressionism by Jackson Pollock.

              The cubism is one of the early abstract artwork. The artwork is portrait the image, but in the cube or square style. 

           Neoplasticism or De Stijl in Dutch is artistic movement found in 1917. It use and have composition on the primary colours.

Celebrity Campaign Final

This campaign is to promote the celebrity with urban artist style.

There are two main inspirations from this artwork that are the choice of celebrity that gives inspiration through his product. Jackie Chan is specializing in martial art and it has many various actions that can use for artwork. The second main inspiration is the artist style from Oi You Collection, that is feature with Banksy, the worldwide famous urban artist. Most of Banksy works contain the style that his artworks play along with the wall. So with both inspirations, I can combine them together and become martial art pose that play with wall.

The artist is about Jackie Chan himself on the urban wall is kicking through the wall. Main theme colours of this artwork are orange, black and white. The orange is showing the realistic of the urban wall itself compare to black and white on Jackie Chan himself which become less realistic. The media that I use to produce this artwork is illustrating on Photoshop. First begin with the real picture and use paint in Photoshop draw over it to make it become my own graphic style. Then change into black and white and in the end put another wall with multiply function to make everything on the artwork is paint on the wall.

Invert, some of Banksy and Oi You Collection, does not have the same graphic style. Some of them have cartoon graphic style, which I use that style to applied the bricks that float toward the audience.

The purpose for this artwork is to make the audience admire at the celebrity through his martial art via urban style artwork that anyone can locate easily.
