I was thinking about the contained nature of these pictures, and the fact they are all confined into this section in the middle of an A3 page, which I think will work when printed onto A1, but in smaller works It might be better working towards having full figures in the picture, this will give more freedom to the painting that occurs in the process and the expressive marks I enjoy making, this will also be easier to convert into giant pieces....Although the content may have to change slightly, perhaps using full body fashion shoots as a foundation."Illustration is like visual DJing, and in this spirit I'm a DJ. There are plenty of existing images, a visual overflow. Why should I create anything new? Firstly, I'm looking for existing material that works with the idea and then I remix it. Secondly, If I can't find something specific, I draw or photograph what I need and start to sample myself." - Mone Maurer (www.monemaurer.com
This quote is to help myself overcome any fear of using other peoples images as a jumping off point for my art work, I feel my work brings its own style to the image and even the most famous may become unrecognizable to the original artist, but still I feel like I need more input in the foundation of my sources.
