New ideas are beautiful, vicious little things. Beautiful because its a something brand new or at least sort of new and yet so ephemeral, and its breaking and sliding out of the shell of your cranium like the yolk from an egg you dropped on a hot kitchen floor, and the instant it hits the paper or the word processor or the canvas or the body of the woman you’re painting to look like she’s covered in birds it begins to emulsify, giving that ephemeral gooey little nubbin a real shape,and a form, and bringing it into reality.
Its like giving birth without all the screaming and the blood and the epidermals.
I’ve been having new ideas for paintings every week, and they’re so beautiful.
Even better is that I’m getting a new Tablet PC (Cintiq babay yay-yeah) soon and then I’ll be able to make them look prim and proper and pretty with colors and lines and all fit to go out and face the harsh realities of the world and oh dearie they grow up so fast don’t they.
Sometimes though, you don’t want to do that.
Instead of taking out a new idea, I took someone else’s phenomenal, beautiful idea, and made tribute to it.
Its fanart for a PC freeware game (PC only, sorry Apples guys) by Amon26 entitled Au Sable, which is French for “The Sand”, but is more likely named after a ghost town in Michigan of the same name.
Its a terrific game, fantastically immersive and go play it: http://amon26.site11.com/1_5_Games.html
