Blind Consumerism
I chose to try emulate street artist known as Banksy. What I like about Banksy is the themes he chooses to portray through his artwork. The piece I chose to emulate is his theme of greed and consumerism.

Light - Flat, Black and White
Composition - He is using the length of the building to demonstrate the fall. I decided to try showing Jynx as the high end upscale dog and how society's attitude has changed towards our pets. Some people seem to use their pet as an accessory like a pair of shoes or a purse. I am shocked by the amount of doggy spas, hotels, accessories shops that have has exploded into the marketplace in recent years.
I had prettier images of Jynx but I liked that he was squinting, I feel he is demonstrating what you sometimes see in stores, people wandering aimless with carts trying to fill them with as much as they can to achieve a sense of contentment. To me it does feel like Blind Consumerism in a sense.
No clue if I have figured out this assignment but it did really make me think and learn about a very interesting artist!
