ideas ,feelings, love (well,not concrete but how many can say they live concrete love (je leur tire mon chapeau cependant!) thoughts, wine, inhibitions, exhibitions, everything that make my existence a bit more cool in fact , inspire what u have seen for 2 years now. Never sure about the impact of a picture, i stick the INSTINCT factor much than any other factors of creativity. But when u talk about the ideas, besides the esthetic work Dew...u pr pointing out sthg important that every "worker in graphism even for fun" is looking after.... Adobe Photoshop allows us to go far ...and sometimes very far... My prefered field of action is to explore visual possibilities cuz they sometimes lead to something deeper...abstract...people u talk about abstract...abstract is mind....soul...undescriptible creature...nothing more...not a bunch of absurd brushstrokes come from nowhere....
(well for artistic world, Abstraction is sthg completely well defined and i do not make abstract pictures. I make PICTURES following an mix of surrealistic and abstract process.But the result is mainly surrel/firgurative). We learn all how to do photomanipulation overhere, PSC and its talents are a help in this direction. Combining evreything learnt...creativity (emulated by "competition", attention to details, etc.... this gives me pleasure to go ahead , to stay in this community, besides "traditional" painting that is, of course, the best exciting, constructive curse (?), a synonym of pleasure without moral barriers , synonym of "plénitude" (find it in a translator im lazy on this one)...but honestly, working to get satisfaction with a computer, took (and takes) a lot of time (not speaking about porn ...only bwahaha)but i enjoy it really (always surprise of the results even if Oil Painting, maaaan...thats even more surprising when u let it go!).
A lot of work is required as u all know...its why i really suggest to the newcomers of PSC to stay around, to go ahead of disappointemnets (voting and stuff) cuz the reward will be really,really worth it...
