Elton John Please Don't Sue Me

 It took a while but I think I distorted Elton enough without feeling really bad about destroying him! I like treading the line a little between what is and isn't enough. I hope you like it and please let me know if it isn't enough of a change. I know that they are a leap from the last iterations but these happened fast. I used my nature texture a little in all of the pieces (the waves).


This one is representative of how Mr. John has overcome many things in his life and came out of it with love. Even though these things might have changed him some, he didn't let those things take him over. From what I've seen online he seems like a really nice person and has a lot of love to give.


The pink in this image represents love but also Mr. John's struggle with his own sexuality. The squares that are everywhere represent the want to be honest with everyone and in a way show that he isn't ready to show the world who he is completely yet.


The red again stands for love but the waves come crashing in to try to mess it up. The red can also mean anger because of all the things that happened to Mr. John. This piece was my repetition one with the hearts although I guess the 2 previous ones could also be considered to be repetitive with the sheet music. 


The repetition of  Mr. John represents the many sides of  himself and how we are all different at points in our life. It also shows that at the end of the day that we can't really be anyone other than ourselves. I think my favorite part of this piece is the heart on the nose.

Mess or Everyday

Image
  My concept in one word is "Mess". I wish I could've been working on things more but it feels like everything is falling apart in my personal life and every time I try to work on this I can't really get anywhere. The thing on the top is a washing machine with my car's gear shift in it. It broke down this weekend in Asheville so I had to get towed from there and then my partner's parents had to come get us. I put the road because we can never get away from it and every time we drive it's a cycle of going somewhere and coming back. It's a similar thing with the gear shift and washing machine, we always come back (and they have their own cycles). I added my hamster because when I come home I see him. I am realizing that another concept could be "everyday". Sorry if I shared too much. Please let me know some more ideas if you have some. I'm feeling stuck.

Idea?

  I'm thinking about maybe creating a GIF. Maybe something that has to do with all of the fires going on right now. I am thinking about a silhouette of a person going and building a town. Eventually the town grows to cover the page(?) and becomes widely popular (like L.A.). and then a large fire comes in and wipes it out which could end up making the perfect loop with the silhouette coming over to restart the process. Maybe this could be done with figures cut out with paper and then the fire effect was added in later with editing or something?

Trying Some Things

Image
 I've been playing in Photoshop and I really like where this is heading! I have been having trouble thinking of other things to do with the photo of Mr. John. If you have any ideas or think that I am doing something well let me know! I need all the help I can get. I don't know what it is but it's been harder for me to think of ideas.
