paintings that look like low-poly videogame graphics. they would be cool if they were modern. the crazy part? he made these from 1950-1980. is it just chance???? how did he perfectly replicate the looks of a playstation 2 before it existed?? very cool i think
Airbrushes are cheap and a whole generation grew up on low res graphics. When done with a lot of intention and forethought, they can be some of my fav paintings ever. Sasha Yazov is a wizard with it
this was made a while ago, nowadays ive gotten more into physical paintings and sculpture ish stuff. i don’t have any photos of those. but i had a phase of digital experimentation a year or two ago which led to this!
i had gotten really into digital illustration and spent basically all my time using a wacom drawing tablet as a teenager. in all of these old self-portraits i always depict myself with a black jacket and some kind of red accessory. what i love here is the lack of any attention to detail and the very distinct vibe this has that is present in a lot of amateur digital art from a decade ago. i've grown quite a lot as an artist since this was drawn and it's fun to see how i viewed myself at a different point in time.
