Influence Map

This is my "Influence Map" - or, in other words, a visual representation of things that influence my artwork.

So, moving across, from left to right, top to bottom (overall), an explanation for these images.

1. Poetry (especially poetic Typography). I suppose I should also include music here, because music influences my artwork a lot as well, but I couldn't think of a good way to get a visual image of music. This specific image comes from a typography piece that is full of insight on life in general. (It's a little bit long, but here's a link if you want to try to read it : http://princepoo.deviantart.com/art/Typography-Seven-Life-2511592 )

2. Fantasy artwork: No pun intended here, but I find fantasy artwork to be entirely magical. Fantasy work depicts a place where dreams aren't' just dreams, where nothing is impossible. And I just love it :)

3. Horses, and quasi-abstracted artwork. I've always loved horses. I think they're absolutely beautiful and graceful creatures. I also love the abstract "wings" in this image (which are kind of hard to see because I had to crop it).

4. I love, love, love Autumn colors. This image is all about the beauty of fall, and how it proves that, even in the face of the imminent death that Winter brings, beauty can flourish.

5. I love big cats. Tigers are probably my top favorite, but I love them all. Lions, leopards, jaguars, cheetahs... I love them all!

6. I love spider webs (not so much the spiders themselves though). But clean, organized spider webs like this one make me appreciate the fragility of life, and the quiet, calm beauty that can be found behind some of the "ugliest" things around us. ("ugliest" = spiders... I actually don't mind them, but I hear that a lot of people are frightened of them.

7. Birds. I. Love. Birds. Especially ones in flight. I don't know why... but I'd guess it has something to do with how much I'd love to be able to fly.

8. More fantasy art, but this is a specific artist (www.wen-m.deviantart.com). I've been a fan of this guy for a long time, and I love how much detail he puts into his work.

9. Traditional Japanese prints are also a source of inspiration for me. I don't really emulate the style of them very well, but they still appeal to me and have inspired a few sketches.

10. Nature is one of the biggest inspirations of all, partially because it's always gorgeous, and always around me. Also, I love the color red.

Keck Wedding!

Photos from the wonderfully colorful wedding of Keck and Kenzie! (Sorry guys, but you will always be known as Keck and Kenzie, even though you're both Kecks )

So without further adieu, and in no particular order (since blogger uploaded them in a weird order...) the photos!

so disgusting ;)

They took all their photos before the wedding (which saved SO much time between the ceremony and the reception), so this was how he saw her dress for the first time.
