Effervescent Bubblegum Portraits

The Julia Randall Blown Series is Fit to Burst

— January 14, 2013 — Art & Design
Showcasing a special talent for drawing lifelike bubbles, the Julia Randall Blown series portrays chewing gum bubbles at different stages of inflation and deflation.

Some of the bubbles are bulging and look as though they are ready to burst, with the chewed piece of gum still attached to them, others are just being blown with a mouth seen through the clear film, and others still are wrinkled and sad-looking, losing all their air and luster.

While bubblegum is something many people chew yet few actually think about, the Julia Randall Blown series doesn’t let you take it for granted. The characteristics and individual flaws of each piece are done with impeccable detail that gives meaning and emotion to the illustrations.
Trend Themes
1. Realistic Bubblegum Art - Artists and illustrators are exploring the use of bubblegum as a medium to create unique and realistic artwork.
2. Emphasizing Imperfections - The trend of showcasing imperfections and flaws in art and design is gaining popularity, as seen in the Julia Randall Blown series.
3. Interactive Visual Experiences - Art that engages the viewer through interactive elements, such as the portrayal of inflation and deflation in the Julia Randall Blown series, is becoming more prevalent.
