Hello, my name is Pagdon. I am an illustration major at University of the Arts in Philly. Here’s what you need to know about me:
The Art:
My art ranges from drawings, to paintings, to digital art. I love drawing with pen and oil pastels mostly. There’s something about the permanence of pen and the versatility of oil pastels that really intrigues me. I can draw with graphite and soft pastels as well but they aren’t my personal preference. I love to paint in oils more so the watercolor and acrylic. There’s just a longer tradition and a lot of chemistry behind it. And digital art has been something that I’ve experimented for years. I mostly paint in Photoshop, however I am trying to get used to Corel Painter.
The Subject Matter:
I love to sketch simple things. People, landscapes, still life’s, but normally its people at the Panaras or coffee places (when I go to one). However, when I paint it has more meaning. Usually it is a philosophical message, about society, religion etc. If II had the money I’d get degrees in philosophy, psychology, and sociology. But… starving artist. I usually like to have more unorthodox visuals to convey this message though.
Why I Am Here:
Originally I was here because my community college didn’t offer nude modeling classes. Then I started taking some at a local private art program. While I don’t mind drawing a large 50-year-old man or a 60-year-old woman, they do not usually have younger models. Also, I’d like o draw more interesting models in the sense of style, for example alternative models. However, I am not limited to them.
The other reason I am here now is to meet individuals with similar interests. No this is not myspace- its better. To me, I say "what's wrong with becoming friends with people on this site?" Yes you can be professional but that doesn’t mean you cant be friends with models, makeup artists, photographers etc. I want to work with people I get along with. Am I here to date? No. Am I here to meet people with similar interests? Yes.
