纸上谈兵 (mere paper talk) for art of rebellion “workflow”

This print was made in reference to a character in Stanley Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket”.

It is a vietnam war film featuring a group of marines life during that period.
Private Joker was the protagonist, always boasting about being a killing machine, teaching others how to get hookers,
when he never had any actual experience – he was merely a war journalist soldier.

I thought he fit the description of 纸上谈兵 (mere paper talk) pretty well, and decided to do a paperdoll painting showing his various facial expressions,
quotable quotes, and ironic personality.

i painted the characters and body parts separately, then scanned and combined them on the computer.

This art work is part of the “The Art of Rebellion: 造反有理 “ exhibiton organised by StudioKALEIDO ( http://www.studiokaleido.net )
