I chose this as my first piece to post because it is one of my favorites that I have done. The picture is of Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden, the members of MGMT. I chose the colors because the group is considered psychedelic rock and I felt the colors had the right feel for the picture. The eel is from the song "Electric Feel" featured on Oracular Spectacular released in 2007. I did this as a project for my computer art class in high school. When I see this piece it reminds me of the countless days I would spend in the art room with my friends listening to MGMT while doing art. I have this as part of a collage in my room; some of my friends also have this piece in their rooms to remind us all of the good times we had. Another reason I like this is because I remember sitting there saying there was nothing else I could add without ruining it, but I still had one more layer to add to meet the minimum. That was when I decided to add the eel. This reminds me that there is always something else that can be done to make your work better, no matter how complete you feel it is.
