AE Inspirations | Experimentation
Tags:It's something. It's nothing.
It's finished. It's just begun.
It's messy.
It's dark. It's light.
It's type. It's texture.
It's play.
MY MAIN GOAL WITH THIS PROJECT : if I feel like it's wrong, do it anyway.

I actually found myself looking at this and finding different pictures and shapes. A wonderful way to "retrain" your eyes to see.

Thanks for the inspiration to experiment.
"It’s something. It’s just begun. It’s play." These words spoke to me.

I like it, I enjoyed looking through past ones too, that go one from '08 still resonates with me as much as it did back then.

Ali, I LOVE this. So creative and random, yet structured at the same time. Any chance we'll get to see that travel mini album you were working on when you went to Greece? We only saw a tid-bit of it the day you were travelling. Would love to see it in full with all of its wonderful bits and pieces!

What fun! I love to see the continuing development of your artistic side.
I just have to tell you, the other day, I was feeling all glum and drained. I pulled out three books of yours (that I have) and started flipping through them. I was smiling and feeling much better in no time. :D Is there another one in the works?

Ali, these are WAY cool. Just curious - how big are they? They would make for some snazzy eclectic wall art if enlarged and/or on canvas...

Ali - I am not going to lie, I don't think these are "beautiful" - lol! I think they're not supposed to be! They're certainly POWERFUL though - breaking free and alloying your creative spirit to PLAY outside the RULES is a wonderful exercise! Thank you for sharing :)
