Visual Research

What do I see here:
cartoon character
attention grabbing
a mix of humor and fear
"live" food
death

This is an image I did not create, but tells you a little about my interests. I like the way the creator mixed humor and fear together....Although, I don't think GMOs are funny.

Wowwie Zowie...This is a slippery slope.
Pictures + Cut and paste = a really cool piece of art work.
My Food + Cut and Paste = a really flippin scary idea.

What are the ramifications of Genetically Modified foods? I don't know.
Hey I have an idea, lets picture ourselves flying on a jet plane headed to the Philippines, a long flight, when the pilot over the intercom say's "hey guys and gals you have the privilege of being aboard the first flight using a new wing technology...and get this, we have no idea if it will work out or not"
hmmm....I think I'm frightened.

Personal Image ~Go with the Flow~

Okay, what am I doing? What is my goal, do I have a goal?
I think I'll just go with the flow.
It seems that it's easier to just put something down...begin, and the rest will follow.
Have you ever found yourself doodling, and all the sudden you see something new and that becomes the focus of the doodle? By new I mean you didn't have any intention to draw what you begin to see, but you do anyway, and to boot it's really cool...kind of like an epiphany?
Well, I certainly am not suggesting that this piece is representative of that idea, but that's what I was shooting for...If only we could always have the perfect amount of inspiration to lead us to that spark that in turn transforms our meaningless doodle into a work of true love or at least real excitement regarding your vision.

This is an Image I created in DMF Lab 1. I used two photos I took and stacked them. I tweaked the colors in the sky, and added the tall blocks while playing with the fill option, I like them. The final piece has a futuristic cityscape feel. I added the sky shapes in hopes of a sort of alien vibe....maybe it worked.
