Abstract: If Life Was a Comic Strip

This piece was incredibly fun to make. I was having, I guess you could say, a "trying" day and I needed something purely fun and self-criticism free. What I did here was dump a bunch of paint onto a canvas, let gravity make wonders, flip the canvas around a few times to change the path of the paint, and then take tiny brushes to pull out little monsters and images from the paint-blobs. The majority of the painting was made in one day and it took me a few more to figure out how to take the painting from scattered to visually appealing. I made a somewhat Japanese style background, or at least my interpretation of one, and stuck to your typical comic strip colors. I ended up interpreting the blobs of paint as a sort of fantastic interpretation of life while still being a little whimsical. Whimsical is always good.

Life always just seems to sneak up on you, explode, present itself as a mess, and then somehow turn into some sort of conclusion. You have little to do with what you're given but in the end, you shape what you get.

This time: I got dragons, spoons, and sunsets. I hope you like it.
