i like it.
thank you for being so communicative.
The words escaped their keeper: let me try to explain. From the "Life is a Graffiti" cycle.
The Technical Part:
DO WE REALLY HAVE TO FOLLOW THE PROFESSOR'S MANUAL?! I was drawing by "pouring" ready-made patterns into my digital pen—stuff from the software's basic kit or free portable programs. It was inspired by a "conflict" I felt at an industrial design exhibition, where the designers used the exact same method. They either filled their shapes with those patterns or created designs that mimicked existing things and then stuffed them with those patterns. So, it naturally made me wonder: how on earth did these wonderful, creative people end up taking the exact same steps?
The Theme / The Story:
HOMAGE TO A WHITEWASHED WALL. There used to be an underground passageway in a mini-mall in my town. It was completely covered in graffiti, scribbled slogans, and personal notes. Then, one day, they whitewashed the whole thing and turned it into a "tidy," glass-enclosed walkway. It triggered a real sense of rebellion in me. And, of course, it made me question those tired old phrases we always analyze, like "there's no accounting for taste," "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," "fuck a wall with nothing written on it"... and stuff like that. Mind you, there was "maybe" a slightly cruder approach too, like a drawing of a "male symbol" with the caption: "this is art to me."
