So I was watching "How to make it in America" last week(my new favorite show, and probably the only show on cable television eye can sit through beginning to end) and I remember a quote from one of the characters telling this young self-employed business man that "everyone's got great ideas, but not everyone can bring those ideas to life, so instead of telling me what you can do, show me what you have done..and THEN we'll talk!"
While searching for some inspiration, I stumbled upon this photo of a friend of mine, (Donna Poonz!). Instantly drawn in, I looked at it a bit more, and went straight to the paint. tried doing a portrait, straight brush, no guidlines, no exacto-mundo proportions. so It ended up turning into something else..
Half way through painting, a monkey face took its place..and studying the photo furthermore..taking note of her Donnas 'thinking-like pose' A lightbulb then appeared (above the monkey). I felt it was only right that he have monkey wrenches for hands tp representing the mechanical "WORK" needed in order to produce those genius plans. The rest was magic.
The main concept is..It's one thing to have a brilliant idea, but you gotta put in work to make them dreams of yours happen. ( A play on that quote)
Ya Digs?
moving ON!!!...
