Marker pen drawings ..The Amys and Petes



These images are of Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty . The reason i used these celebrates as inspiration was due to the reasons behind them being in the media every week for there drug addiction and use And how the media could play on this. It seemed that the only reason these two were in the papers everyday was for how wrecked they looked after a night out rather then what they are supposed to be famous for their music. These are a few images i was playing on within my project to do with the media representation of iconic figures in the '00s. and how we follow the media as a cult....
All images are produced on A1 paper using black and grey marker pens as i was heavily influence by Mondrian and kara walker at the time ( being able to make the image look simplistic)







This was a play on a image found in the sun newspaper. The article was about how much weight Amy Winehouse lost because of the drugs and how bad she looked. But in recent newspapers and Amy is bigger then she was when the first photograph was taken the newest article was saying has she put on too much weight ( even though shes a size 10 or 12 now). So for my own amusement i made a series of obsessed Amy Winehouse and celebrates on reaction to the newspaper article about what is the right and wrong weight for celebrities and people ....
