Illo Friday: Imagine
with words from
Marcel Proust
"Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value-judgments. An artist recreates those aspects of reality which represent his fundamental view of man's nature." |
"If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time."

There's a wonderful dreamlike quality to watching this emerge - it'd work really well as a piece of animation, with the stages dissolving into each other. The light in that window is everything to this composition!
Oh great idea! was thinking of that too... btw taking up Flash Animation class now maybe i can something with these. I let you know if its successful.. 8)
true ... in every art piece .. we see a different world .. in the eyes of the artist... and in every rendition of reality a new world is explored....
good night .... i am having fun reading your posts
