Peter Blake

Peter Blake

The reason why I am looking at Peter Blake is because of his self portrait he created in 1961 with badges on his shirt, showing he has a badge collection as well and that I found inspiration to create the modernised version of me in the similar aesthetic as Peter Blake's self Portrait to show my collection in a similar way. 

Self Portrait with Badges- Peter Blake

This is the piece designed by Peter Blake created a Self-portrait of himself with Badges on his shirt in 1961  incorporated the themes of pop culture for marketing reasons because of current trends. He created this using oil paints you can tell this piece has significance on pop art due to the picture of Elvis on a comic the guy has on his hand.

This here is the photo of me in a similar pose as Peter Blake which Is where my inspiration is for my digital drawing of the self portrait below.

 

 My Self Portrait with Badges

Could I be the next Peter Blake??

I did this digital drawing of myself in a similar aesthetic to Peter Blake's piece with badges on his shirt I decided to do the same but of myself dressed in a similar way as he has for the sake of the aesthetic but I then chose to design it in a digitalised aesthetic and creating it in my own interpretation with complete inspiration for 

his genre.

Here is both Blake and my piece next to each other to show the similarities behind them. You can see the comparison...between my piece and Blake's piece and this is the main reason I did my research on Peter Blake's Self portrait.
