I created the whatevers with acrylic paint on canvas in March of 2017.
The idea for this collection came from drawing Grecian busts while watching Clueless. At that time I was watching a lot of 90’s movies. I had also, at the time, been referencing statues for practice with my line work. Both of those things came together for me during the “As if!” moment in Clueless when Cher shoved the grassy null boy.
The purpose of this collection was utilizing 90’s slang and neon colors to liven up crusty old busts from centuries ago. The expressions ended up fitting the words a lot more than I had originally thought they would.
