Description
I started working on this a few weeks ago. Started out as an experiment. But then I got stuck and walked away for a couple of weeks. Sometimes you just have to step back and let the art have some room.There is an original photo somewhere in there-- was a snapshot during a rainy grew day in Jackson Square in front of the cathedral (nola of course).
I think you still get a sense of it being a rainy wet -- sort of watercolor-ish.

Oh, I love this one. I like the patchwork-quilt-y feel and of course the wet streets... very nicely integrated and happy-making.

thanks-- if you only knew how much i obsess and tweak and play with the colors! in the end i think it gives each image a more organic feels-- adds visual texture to them.
and it was a rainy day in new orleans that day.

I can't quite figure out what exactly draws me to this one, but I love it! I think the most striking thing about it is the composition and the urban textures.. great job!

Can't quite put my finger on why exactly, but I really like this. Looking at this really lifts my spirits up.
(I think it might be that bluish colour in the centre)

Cogwurx is so right... there is a definite rhythmic pattern here... and for being so vibrant in color, the rainy day feel of it comes through so clearly.
Love the composition... it breathes really well!
Also: I can totally see this as film. I would love to see an animated experimental film with your style.

thanks Ben.. the color on this was really important to me-- I spent quite a while adjusting it and pumping up certain colors.
Never thought about trying to translate some of my stuff into film.. interesting thought tho.

This is great. The image itself has a beat. Very lively.

thanks rome--when I finally decided to stop solving for x and solved the riddle of the design I had no idea what to call this piece-- but I kept seeing and hearing a jazzy beat when I looked at it.
so im glad you picked up on the beat daddio!

This is a little different from what I usually see from you--less scrambled in nature (not that I dislike the more scrambled nature!). It's neat. I really like this.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
less scrambled eh? hmm.. trust me the process to create it probably took just as much scrambling-- if not more till I finally resolved what I was doing and the composition came into focus.
I think it's the way I applied the layers and blended everything together.
thanks!

I got that rainy day feel from this without even reading about it. It's really very beautifull!
