Description November outside assignment. The theme this time was "Grab the bull by the horns", aka face your fears. There's a lot to this one.

On the left is Space as the vivid endless future; on the right, the Ocean as the endless memory of the past. In-between is uh, me from 1997 with my 2007 head on. Awkward creatures, teens. On a larger scale, humanity is always moving towards the unknown...no matter how far we go, somehow, we are still taking our first steps.

The stuff in the fishbowl are things I don't understand yet (maybe never will): love, fame, time. But the main thing is Oliver the space whale , representing possibility. Failure is always possible, which is why it's feared (I mean, look at how fat the whale is...and then look at those tiny wings).

But there is also the possibility of happiness--which is why, I think, we look forward to it. It's ridiculous, but...we are all whales trying to fly.

"In a world where Abraham Lincoln fishes for whales, not in the way Captain Ahab does, Fate plays a twisted game with the Devil in tight, hotrod-red leather," is what I wanna say. I'm trying for something poetic here. Nyaha....

Hmm..lonely people fish for whales, never suspecting that they must confront a desert at the end of the line.

Catherine!
I barely see you these days. D:

I hated this month's outside art assignment topic. I had such a hard time of coming up with something that I didn't turn my assignment in. Dx

woah.
that thing in the bubble thingy that is some organ of some sort...at first I thought it was a rose. xD
interesting concept by the way.

I know! What is up with that. D:

Ooh, man. I did that one time in Treat's class last year...just do okay with everything else and the grade should hopefully survive. x[

Haha, it could be! A rose-heart...thing.
Thanks~

I am deeply in awe of this piece. It's juxtaposed without being messy. And it all has a point.
I must say, I love the feel of this one. It's very bright and hopeful, in an idealistic fashion. Which I like.
(And by idealistic I mean noble and visionary, not naiive or disillusioned as some define.)
I really, really like it.
Enough for another favourite! Goodness, you are good.

blueLudebar In reply to zheregon [2007-12-03 04:39:22 +0000 UTC]

Yes! Over-messiness is always a paranoia with these mixed media things, so it's great you think it came out well! Also extremely glad the concept and idealism speaks to youuuu. Very many thanks all around. :]]
