Description
"I am colorblindcoffee black and egg white
pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready"
Another contest entry... Counting Crows and grey sky outside, remembering what it's like to sit on a hill and watch a town that doesn't know you exist... the taste of coffee grounds, bitter, comforting... watching myself as well, wondering why I'm crying, who I am...
...and if you're the Queen of California, baby, I am King of the rain...

"I am covered in skin
no one gets to come in
pull me out from inside
I am folded and unfolded and unfolded
I am color blind"

Good, but leaning toward the depressive in some ways... I don't dare listen to them when I'm on the edge of depression 'cos I'll tumble straight down to the bottom.
...although oddly enough if I start out depressed, they cheer me up. Go fig.

Kind of know what your getting at there...

Pretty arty, expressive and atmospheric. I would have found it way more expressive if all the material was self-made though, then the expression would have been a lot more personal.

True... but I'm a lousy sketch artist and have no ability whatsoever when it comes to creating multiple-decades-old woodcuts and illustrations. *amused*

What I was looking at were not multiple-decades-old woodcuts and illustrations, it was a digital depiction of something that might contain such things. So that's not the problem, it's just that, being a lousy sketch artist, you don't seem to have the will to go that far to make it more personal just for those few arty folks like me who probably won't look at your work anyway, right?

I guess I look at the images differently... for me, it's not the same as a snapshot of something else... it effectively IS the sum of its parts. I put the woodcut in because the concept 'woodcut', the image portrayed, the place it was found, the day I found it, the person who created it, all of that in some way related to what I was trying to portray.
I could throw in some of my sketches - I have, in a few other pieces. I could use only pictures I took - again, some of my pieces are composed of pictures I took, or have pictures friends took, or in other ways are 'more personal'. Thing is, if the image/emotion/whatever in my head is going to be better expressed through a piece of a picture someone took of a panda in a zoo on the other side of the world than my own sketch of a panda, I'll use the picture. *shrugs*
Most of the images I make ARE personal... but only to me, because really, I'm the only one who knows everything that went into them. I have no objection to this fact.
