Description
My entry for 10,000 pageview contest. The name of the piece comes from the fact that when I started it I had about 10,000 different ideas, and spent a great deal of time trying to esthetically convey those ideas.Photoshop brushes used are courtesy of and

Laying random things together sounds so easy,
but laying random things together BEAUTIFULLY is difficult.
Indeed, this looks marvelous

thanks so much, and you're absolutely right some people think it's easy to just take items and make a pic, but it takes more than that to do it well, I'm hoping I have achieved some level of that.

And if done well, it will surely get a lot of attention, especially if you're doing it for an ad.

First off, the title really made me start to like this one. . . then I saw the picture, and just immediately, I knew where the title came from. The thoughts were scattered everywhere and really showed those various thoughts we have - whether it be music, oranges, or beaches.

Awesome. Gives so much to think about! It reminds me of a good tourist pamphlet image, to describe all the fun aspects of a place that they should explore. Very neat!

I love the colors! It's so bright and citrus-ish, but it has a rather vintage look to it, as well. I think the combination of new things like the bird, fruit, fish, and flowers (which obviously haven't been around too long) paired with film, and old box camera, car, and microphone is really working well. It has a really nice flow to it, as well.
And is that a Pucca toy in the left-hand side? Heehee.

It's simply smashing. Again, this feels like gift art. How much do I love the repeated citrus theme? There's something so clean and organic about it. I love this because there's something about it that seems "me" to me, while always maintaining that flashparade touch. I just love it.
