Ill-ustration

Mon Oct 26, 2009, 1:30 PM
  • Mood: Anxious
  • Listening to: "Ginger" by Xandria
  • Reading: One for the Money
Okay, so for my concentration I've decided to illustrate poems of mine (twelve at the least). The idea was that, since poetry is sort of like painting with words, I would try to bring an image to mind and impart emotion without words and merely visually through colors and media. The exploration was the use of certain media and how it can affect mood, atmosphere and emotive intent in a drawing or painting. I am trying to convey a message and a feeling with the images while narrate the story without actual words and only metaphorical representations of the intent.
BAH-GAAAAAAAAAAH. I never realized how hard that would be! I have like a bajillion interposed/interwoven images in the poems I am illustrating and I can only do one on a canvas! Ack! How limiting! But an exciting challenge nevertheless!
...I am soooo screwed.

Yo, if anyone wishes to share an opinion, suggest which of my works could possibly be the best suited for this. I was thinking "Washing Away", "Sleeping Beauty", "The Musicbox", "I had a star once", "Flicker", "Tide", "Sunday Morning", "For some reason I cannot understand", "Grey", "Nightghast" or "Ocean Eyes" and "like a teardrop". But Ocean Eyes only because the title gives an interesting image already.

Please don't let me fall asleep,
For the boogie man will creep,
Through my window in my room,
Stab me with a broken broom.
