RE: I Am Strangling Myself to Death

in #life4 years ago

As always I enjoyed the words and the flow of the post. The imagery was great, the black and white (grey) one really drew me in. I think it was the little wizard kid that pulled me in. The other one I really enjoyed was the last one, it just screams fun to me. it just looks so damned happy, and ending your words with that seem very intentional, to let the reader know happy can be found if one looks.

Sort:  

Turned out decent even though I didn't know where I was going until I got there. And then it goes through the washer a few times.

I made such a massive collection of images over the years, and so many collect dust, but they sure are coming in handy now. I was experimenting a lot back then. You're lucky in a sense that you know to look. Some folks were quite surprised when I began pointing out it's not just swirly nonsensical colors, even though that element is included. And they do help set the tone.

I find it pretty amazing that no matter your talk topic the pictures always seem to fit, even though you make them both it is not like you do them at the same time the pictures and the words. When writing do you pre-select the images or do they come in after the words?

The images come after. I try to pick up on ways to segue into an image, then out and back into the words. For me it's seamless but to others, I assume it would trigger thoughts.

Originally, many were released alongside humor or nonchalant posts. The art was never meant to be like what one would see on museum walls. It would be seen on the walls of a museum if that museum was part of a scene from a cartoon. Or if you're flipping through a comic book. It comes from that imaginary land.
