Behind my ideas, I draw up my inspiration from lyrics in music and hidden emotions of people. I look to musical artists such as Rise Against and My Chemical Romance to reflect their lyrics in my work. In my opinion, I feel musical artists are wanting to make a change in our society and depict a side we don't think about or understand very well. When I listen to music, I always have a new feeling towards it, whether it's my first time listening to it or my 100th time.<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>However, my actual art is built up from several different people and their styles. One inspiration is French artist Florian Nicolle and her style of lines. Her lines are mostly contour that develop one whole, united picture. Decorating her lines are splatter marks of watercolour-like designs. Some pictures are purposely incomplete, yet are filled by the watercolour marks. The pictures she creates are shown through quick lines which expresses more emotion and 'rigorousness' as she claims. To me, it is such an unique style that has never really been exposed to me before and influences me to try my own style.</div>Dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00552917386760872985noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957308347499568221.post-66035016730459998542011-11-29T19:40:00.000-08:002011-12-05T17:04:29.937-08:00Concentration Ideas (AP)<span class="Apple-style-span">1) Outcast/Antler boy (storyboard)</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">2)(Expression/Emotion Through) Eyes</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">3) Music based (interpretations of songs)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">4) (A person's) comforts</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">5) Selected focus</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">6) What's Seen but Not Understood (ex: Tree)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">7) Series of Continuous lines (Simple but Delicate) (ex: TV head/Neo-artist)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">8) Cultures falling apart</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">9)7 Deadly Sins</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">10) Teenage Suicide</span></div>Dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00552917386760872985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957308347499568221.post-23877086145071621322011-10-02T17:23:00.000-07:002011-10-03T14:41:26.500-07:00Summer Side<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBsQHTExDgSFvUPCTvwEOBkyw1DvgKEjZGuSuWFnFAHCdfuYs2DpCKeoyRTglAUaXgdL20RqnOLJQxHu9vHXIWk7jNqX2OaTCJlrghq0BXTv7CVs0ouwar5wTJJ27nHcrfSm5gWkGxAzp6/s1600/shufflin.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBsQHTExDgSFvUPCTvwEOBkyw1DvgKEjZGuSuWFnFAHCdfuYs2DpCKeoyRTglAUaXgdL20RqnOLJQxHu9vHXIWk7jNqX2OaTCJlrghq0BXTv7CVs0ouwar5wTJJ27nHcrfSm5gWkGxAzp6/s320/shufflin.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659055219194846418" /></a>Hey guys.<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> I just kinda wanted to post this.

Art does not need to be made by someone who has the talents of Picasso or Da Vinci. Art is made by people who have the passion for it. It can be made by people who have disabilities, but aren't recognized. As for me, I am an ordinary person. I have never found something truly special about my art or abilities. I find myself to be a regular person, but a passion that wants to be seen as something else; something more. This, I believe, is how people create their art. They want to share a part of them that isn't really seen by the eyes of others. I'm similar in that way.<br /><br /><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; background-color: rgb(85, 91, 82); " ><div closure_uid_m29jxp="75">4) I find 'labeling' myself as an artist something hard to do.
