Visual analogies

Visual Analogy is a representation of something that is recognizable by the common public. Symbolism depicted in a form of art that substitutes an image for either a word meaning or another image. Also Visual analogies can be used to create the object that the artist is trying to depict in an abstract way. For example a females long silky hair could be depicted by spaghetti noodles since they have the same long shiny texture even though they are sticky and soft and heavier then hair normally would be.Another example of this is the lips which have been traded out for a lushish strawberry. The idea of lips is still the same but a strawberry is used instead.


The next image is a little complex to understand but that allows the viewer to create his own visual analogy of what he think it might be. All of these images have been collected off of deviantart.com by various artists who keep there identities to themselves by using surnames. However according to this artists comments the brown aura comming out of the body is sopposed to be the humans soul.







This image represents life and making a break in the plans that life may have already written for us. A tree best illustrates the stages and ages of life with rings for each year and with a fence to gap these years at almost feels as if the tree escaped its plans.

The classical sexual representation of boobs using melons. This is practically a play on words.


And my favorite of all the classic don't get to close to the water or you'll drown scenario represented by ants getting to close to honey and becoming stuck stealing their life with the simple act of curiosity or stupidity.

What I want

Gothic, plentification. Enough spikes to please a pin cushion and enough darkness to dampen even the brightest of moods. Strange Love is one of my favorite art peices from an art site called deviantart. If you want to summarize my goals, my beliefs, and my style this picture hits the spot. Its the US trying to reach Iraq with a flower. Batman trying to make two face smile with a simple reach. God trying to make the devil love with a field of flowers. This style of light in the dark is what the world needs.

What you want.

I choose what best represented and digitally illustrated my feelings in both the book and web. Big Bird by Miroslaw Rogala seemed to wrap everything up in a never ending infinite. This picture was the most digitally interesting and satisfying to me thanks to the facts that it didnt have a stingy out of date look to it and becuase it was interesting to look at. Also the representation of a dark force (the crow) watching over the entire earth never fails to adhear my attention

Video idea

My idea is to take and animate using my body a tree growing. Im going to have my slinking into screen walking as if im a long lanky elephant. Then from there i will foundation myself in a pencil shape form facing the screen. After this i will lower my head so the top of my head shows and slowly raise my arms. From there i will open each finger and have branches sprout from my finger tips. in the backgound i want a simpe white to allow the veiwer to stay concentrated on the growing of the tree.
