Petr's Book / Entry One / In Between



This first piece in my book evolved through series of transformations. I had an initial thought for a theme - "I Fly" - the piece intended was a fly sitting on a letter I - simple and strong visual. I made the drawing, played with it in photoshop and it just didn't work.

At about the same time my Photography class kids made some photograms and used this green see-through profile figure as one of their objects - I loved it. And so I made this figure in a leap the center of my piece. 

I'm really into monsters right now and so I added a monster chasing the little man - a theme of "Runaway" was on my mind.
Yet the piece felt unfinished - and so another monster came to be - leaving the little man with no chance to escape. And with this second monster came my final theme for this book - 

IN BETWEEN.

Loooove it. Very cool and I think I might even try to incorporate some monster imagery as well, when it makes it's way around to me. I like that you were inspired by classroom stuffs. :)
