This piece was made for the Warhol Self Portrait project, so basically a self-portrait done in the same way as Andy Warhol's famous Marilyn Monroe picture. It is my face but looking very strange because apparently my mouth turned out that way when the colors were added. The same problem occurred on the eyebrows of my face, I think the features got changed once colors came in because they overflowed.
This picture does have a pattern, with all the repeated versions of my warped looking face about 12 times in the piece. Nothing is being contrasted in this picture, nothing is being emphasized in it either, this piece is designed to be looked at in whole not in a singular form. This piece has asymmetrical balance because the colors don't match on each side and such.
This piece is supposed to represent or pay tribute to the one Andy Warhol did on Marilyn Monroe, which definitely was clever on his part. This one however probably doesn't have the message that Andy's did unless you count that people see different people in the same person. Besides that however, I've got no clue unless you want me to make up some deliberately unnecessary message hidden in it.
I felt that this one was successful, it worked out better than most projects I worked on, primarily I tried on this one more than usual. I think it was because I thought that it was simple and didn't take too much thinking on it, because we had the idea already in our heads. It looks comical because of the facial expressions that were mistranslated to be honest with you, it's up to the viewer to decide if it looks good or not.
