Mike Shinoda - artist research

Another artist i looked at was the famous member of the band Linkin Park known as Mike Shinoda. The famous band member is also an artist in his spare time and has worked with shoe designers DC and has held many exhibitions for his work influenced by his love for anime and his japanese heritage. 

Mike Shinoda uses a range of media, from acrylic paint and pencils to screen printing and computer aided design programs. I have chosen to research into his art as his band Linkin Park are one of my favourite bands and his art work has been transfered to some of his own guitars which links in with my plan to design the art work for a guitar body. 

In my critical studies i have used only coloured pencil as this in my opinion was the best media for my studies as from what i could gather this is what Mike Shinoda had used in his work, i also used this to show my wide use of media over my project and my skills in blending and the quality of my work when using coloured pencils. In my opinion my critical studies are to a good standard but not to the absolute best that they could be, and if i were to do this again i would spend more time on the sheet.
