Still thinking...

My artwork is almost definitely going to resemble a post-modern artwork. My own style doesn't suit earlier styles of art- of course I could however take techniques from other styles, but that idea hasn't exactly appealed or worked for me yet. Soooo... I'm semi a quarter of the way there... Awesome right? Another thing I'm next to sure about is that my artwork is going to be metaphorical; there will be somethin that symbolises another thing. Whether what it symbolises is somewhat ambiguous, I'm not sure yet, and so comes the onslaught of choices... I have a choice in the subject matter whether it is going to be personal and meaningful, or just simply representing my interests. I think the subject matter is going to be the easy part though. With so many ways I can create an artwork I am stuck on how I am going to go about it. I could go digital, charcoal, collage, or even working with found materials.
Lemme think... I am comfortable with digital, butttt I don't wanna be usin just simply images from the internet like I've done with previous artworks. Again this is where Jessica Honeywill's artwork comes into mind...
I'm not going to do an image purely with charcoal though. If I used charcoal it would be with something else (like in a collage).
Collage and found materials... I can't really evaluate that one, cause there's too much I CAN do.

    Metaphors? I like that. Why don't you get a list going of various metaphors and see what visual qualities they evoke?

    have a look at the website Deviant Art, warning, there is some nudity but it is not offensive. (not the ones I saw anyway)
