Silent Auction: Portal Portraits
Winner: phlip for $2,222.22
She's still alive in the Aperture Science Facility....or maybe in your home! You can test out multiple wall layouts with this six-piece set of hand-inked illustrations - though you'll have to provide your own cake. Each piece is ink on bristol board; white ink has been used for corrections, or just for the fun texture of it, while watercolor makes up the distinctive tint of each robot's unique eye. GlaDOS is the largest of the pieces - of course - and takes center stage in her own aperture frame. ATLAS and P-body are a duo, both in paired portals. With the last trio - personality and corrupted cores - two pieces make a portal pair, while Wheatley has to handle the fact he's stuck in space and can't turn his hearing off. The frames have been hand painted to look like Portals from the game - or like the expanse of space some of our cores ended up in. All have been sealed with modpodge and have hanging loops on the back. You can display all of them on the same wall as a set, or pop your portals about your abode so your library and bedroom now have a handy way to put a book on your bedside table ;) Just please keep dry - inks are water resistant but not immune to water damage.
Donated By K.S. Brenowitz
K.S. Brenowitz (they/she), specializes in either dip-pen illustrations with carefully applied spot blacks and tight toning....or collages and sculpture formed and molded from trash and the cast-offs of society. (They see the dichotomy as a feature, not a bug.). Oh, and comics about robot monks or weird little inter-dimensional dudes. They have shown work a variety of festivals, conventions, and outdoors in a tent. She hopes their work can both reveal a new way of look at the ordinary, along with everyone having a good time along the way.
