Looking at Deviant Art has made me reflective

Mon Jun 29, 2009, 10:23 AM
It's been a year since I have been out of college.
And consequently since I've done anything beyond a quick sketch.

I miss it.

I think my away has been in part to my still uncertainty over what to create, and why.

I get excited and feel a pull for complex layered ideas
but find myself technically unable to protray them succinctly and pleasingly.
I like to think of paintings as visual poems
conveying a complex idea and atmosphere in a simple way.

I think even despite my attempts over the last two years of school, I still have trouble divorcing myself from literal image. "Simpicity, simplicity, simplicity".

We'll see.
For now, I use the utilitarian kitchen to appease any needs to "make stuff".

thx for the watch! ;)
:iconduytter:
Thank you to added me in your friends list
I like your work too
you're welcome :)
:iconbadlsk:
Thank you very kindly, your work was both inspiring and thoughtprovoking, even in the still life works that you say were less thrilling. I think you definately have a strong, stylish and amazing voice and I envy what I've seen from purusing through the depths of your gallery. On another note-- your comment on my featured dev was very much appreciated on many different levels. I will definately reciprocate by giving you insight on your work as well. I will return... soon. :D Expect me.

why you're very welcome about the comments;
i go to the university of north florida, which also has a very small art department (hopefully i can make it grow!).
unf wasn't my first choice (duh, because it's not an art school...but art schools are expensive : /)...but hopefully i will end up in pratt institute, nyc for art history!
cheers

why hello

i'd just like to thank you SO much for your intelligent comments on two of my works. i very rarely (if at all) get comments actually CRITIQUING my works, so yours were very refreshing. THANK YOU : )

also, i just browsed through your gallery, and you are amazing at shading. just curious, what school do you go to?
i like how your gallery is small yet very defined.

well, thanks again and i hope to see other works from you!
