After last Friday’s post, I decided to follow through with my promise to do things regardless of whether I am the most awesome at it ever.
To prove it, I offer you this. Some of the stuff I love.
This is my new friend. He needs a name. I wanted to draw something, but couldn’t decide what. When I was teaching elementary school, I use to draw simple little cartoons on the board for the kids. It was usually either an alligator or a walrus. So I figured a walrus was a fun starting point. I also really like the design elements of all this steampunk stuff (I know very little about it, but love the style), which turned the walrus into this.
I was reading about bokeh and really wanted to try creating images with pretty blobs of color. Instead of just thinking about it, I jumped off the couch in my PJs and looked outside for an opportunity to give it a try. The series of images above came about after laying in my neighbor’s driveway at 10 o’ clock at night. Unbeknownst to them of course.
Did I accomplish anything amazing? Is the world of art and photography going to stand up and take notice because I drew a jaunty little walrus and took some pictures of light?
Not so much.
But it was fun.
And now…for no reason at all:
