The very talented and creative Laura Grogan has made some tasty looking Art Club photographs this month, inspired by Tarantino's Pulp Fiction.
Frome Laura, "Blueberry Pancakes, The Royale with Cheese, The $5 Shake, That Hawaiian Burger Joint, Not digging on swine are some of my favourite moments from Pulp Fiction. Quentin Tarantino's use of food as social commentary are a film technical all is own. Special thanks to Macdonalds & Huxtaburger for providing the burgers, all else concocted from my kitchen."
Here is another wonderful submission for the Quentin Tarantino themed month, from Jim Sammon.
"It is an A3 collograph print, made of layers of card and shellac, printed with intaglio ink. John Jarratt has a cameo role in Django Unchained as an Aussie miner working as an indentured servant to the mining company. We have a teachers Exhibition opening this Friday and I'll put this print in the show"
For this month's theme I wanted to make something that addressed Quinten Tarantino's foot fetish. Have you ever noticed how many shots of feet there are in his films? No? Well there are! I quite like drawing feet too, so I did some ink drawings of a few different feet to start this project. I feel he has a particular affinity for Uma Thurman's feet, which I decided to feature in my print, from the film Kill Bill.
This artwork was a little experiment in moving away from the size number 1 lino cutting tool - and venturing out into cutting tool number 5 - a slightly bigger and chunkier tool. I tried it and I'm not sure I really like it....but at least I tried it! (I know this sounds incredibly pedantic!)
Hope you like, Gillian
