Polaroid Project

I made these paintings with a mind to explore the relationship between painting and photography and non-reality. I would have liked them to be less cartoonish but...an 8 hour exam didn't allow for too much finesse. I now want though to create more paintings with the more bleached out palette of a polaroid...all the people in the paintings are friends who volunteered/were beaten in to becostuming themselves and posing with a giant home-made polaroid frame.
