Harry Potter + Art from amazing Artists = PURE MAGIC!
For those who haven't received the chance to explore Gallery Nucleus's "Tribute to Harry Potter," I highly recommend checking it out. There are several fantastic and inspirational artwork saluting the Wizarding and Muggle world alike. As a hard core Potter fan (who unintentionally ends up embarrassing friends by showing up in full costume at HP book releases, movies and the movie exhibition), the aforementioned concoction seemed absolutely divine.
In celebration of all things "Harry Potter", I hope you enjoy a preview of the following piece. It depicts Dobby passing through the Great Hall in order to return Hedwig to Harry. Upon encountering Harry in the Gryffindor Common Room, Dobby introduces the "Room of Requirement." As described in the "Order of the Phoenix", Dobby happens to be layering a majority of the hats, scarves and socks Hermione had knitted for her S.P.E.W efforts.
Only recently, I decided to submit this piece to Gallery Nucleus for consideration. Regardless of the outcome, creating this piece was a humbling and phenomenal journey in itself. In the end, that's all that matters.

Excerpt from 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix':
Dobby the house-elf was standing beside the table on which Hermione had left her half a dozen knitted hats. His large, pointed ears were now sticking out from beneath what looked like all the hats that Hermione had ever knitted; he was wearing one on top of the other, so that his head seemed elongated by two or three feet, and on the very topmost bobble sat Hedwig, hooting serenely and obviously cured.
...Surveying Dobby more closely he noticed that the elf was also wearing several scarves and innumerable socks, so that his feet looked far too big for his body.
"Er...have you been taking all the clothes Hermione's been leaving out?"
You have the best geekdom moments. I'm not a big fan but I wish I could go to your middle of the night screenings in full costume with you <3
ReplyDeleteYour wonderful company is welcomed anytime! It would make the experience infinitely better. Probably the most exciting aspect is seeing everyone else geek out too. Why be normal when one can be a geek?
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm just curious....were you just bored? Good luck w/ your submission to G.Nucleus. You know I'll be buying it if it gets accepted right? lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support! I really wish I had the luxury of being bored sometimes. I assume that you're wondering whether this piece as a result of boredom? It's quite the opposite. It came out of the desire to negate chaos by focusing on creativity. Also (as you're fully aware), I'm a huge Potter fan!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I'm pretty terrible at keeping my blog updated sometimes. My piece was accepted by Gallery Nucleus. At first I was in disbelief because I wasn't expecting anything much (esp. acceptance). Now I'm just freaking out (in the best sense possible)!
No need to buy the piece! I've already got something much more attuned to your tastes planned out in my head--for FREE too! It'll be more meaningful that way, and I think you'll appreciate it much more. I'm not used to this whole "selling" part at all. I still feel conflicted about it now. For friends and family, $$ for art = unacceptable! :-)
