I see(d) you

Some fun hand drawn media, bringing out the Prisma-colour set and bringing out the assortment of millimeter ruled pens. It's time to grasp a taste of traditional practices and influence those natural occurring textures which appear in the Indian inks.


The man with the x-ray specs. 

A concept for observation, sometimes used to represent the viewer, and how light reflects back into the individuals eyes, but this time, merely direct observation of points of interest in the image.
 An informative design plan, with interesting incites of the use of perspective and textures ink affects. The Type represents to create a 'seed' of power, we must see. We must observe what is directly in front of us. How art surrounds our world, how creation only develops from observing the mundane features in life (or how it can). 

These mundane features only appear so, because we tend to understand their presence, but we do not answer why they are there whatsoever. How clutter can sometimes appear  orderly because of routine or familiarity. Similar to how older folks may react to a modern art gallery for example. We must look at the conditions around us and grip them with our artistic talents to influence this deeper meaning to the mundane.

Artists such as Claus Oldenburg, use this concept of mundane objects and the beauty of them by bringing them to life by increasing their size and scale. This influence of scale in comparison to our own familiar sizes helps advocate a sense of importance and hierarchy of a object (or sometimes a person).


By simply representing observation using diagrams or even thought processes using symbols, we can bring this sense of importance to the mundane mind. and advocate greater importance to the usual and the familiar.
