This one struck me because of all the different colors that are being displayed. I also liked it because (although I'm not really sure about this) it looks like each box is a different spice or good from a kitchen or something like that.

Joseph Cornell - Piece #3
This one struck me because of all the different colors that are being displayed. I also liked it because (although I'm not really sure about this) it looks like each box is a different spice or good from a kitchen or something like that.
Joseph Cornell - Piece #2
This piece struck me because the three-dimensional aspect threw me off when I first looked at it, I couldn't depict which columns from top to bottom were sticking out and which ones weren't. I also like that I can't really tell what this picture is until I observed it more carefully.
Joseph Cornell - Piece #1
This image struck me because of the strong contrast between the yellow moon and the dark blue and brown owl and background. Also, it's cool how you can't really tell if it's three dimensional or not, so it makes you look at it more carefully.

My hero and villain.
For the hero and villain stippling project, I chose Robert Downey Jr. as my hero, and Tom Riddle as my villain. The reason I chose Robert Downey Jr. as my hero wasn't just because he's one of my all time favorite actors, or that he's good looking, or that he plays heroes in his movies. It was more because I am inspired by him and how hard he worked to get where he is today- to get past his drug and alcohol problems that went on for years in a row- and he got through it all and stands with his head held high. Tom Riddle is a character from Harry Potter. He is the boy before he becomes Voldemort, the most powerful dark wizard ever to live. The reason I chose him is because I had originally wanted to stipple Voldemort, but someone had already done that last year, and it didn't seem very original. When I came up with the idea of using Tom Riddle and then found such a great photo of him, I knew it had to be the one. I love the image I chose of him because he has a very strange, evil look in his expression, and it reminded me of the Mona Lisa. No one can tell if she's smiling or smirking, and that's how Tom Riddle is in this picture.
