EDLUNDART

A Tumblr Thing from EDLUNDART dot com / @edlundart

"A radical reinvention of the pinup." I was interested in exploring the very formalized language of the classic illustrated pin-up poster — with its sexualized, male-gaze objectification — but breaking it down into such absurdly abstracted basic sculptural shapes (made of simulated sandstone and steel) that any sexuality invoked must necessarily be happening partially in the mind of the viewer. I'm making the viewer complicit in the objectification.

This image is part of a series I created (using Blender and acrylic paint) called Sandstone Eros. I launched an online shop to sell these things as premium giclée fine art prints, rather than cheap posters, as I think regarding and selling these as "high art" adds to their impact somehow. As my description goes on the shop's website (shop.edlundart.com), the work is "equal parts geometric abstraction, elegant 1980's Italian furniture design, subverted male gaze objectification, and deadpan Scandinavian humor — while somehow referencing everything from BDSM to Atlanta stripper aesthetics without showing any skin."

I drew a bunch of cartoon characters from memory, without looking them up first. This Charlie Brown is pretty good, though I forgot he has ears. Some of these drawings ended up looking like absolute trash, others quite lovely. None of them super accurate. Watch me draw these things on YouTube!

I drew a bunch of cartoon characters from memory, without looking them up first. This one ended up looking quite a bit like Gromit. Some of them ended up looking like absolute trash, others quite lovely. None of them super accurate. Watch me make these on YouTube!

I drew a bunch of cartoon characters from memory, without looking them up first, and the results are on a spectrum from hilariously disastrous to eerily beautiful. And you can watch me do this nonsense on YouTube.
