see I can see the beauty in this, the hilarity that arises, the anger that triggers more spontaneous ideas, the meaning, the reason and come back to look this picture up again and find something new

some new feeling it erupts

some new emotion it tickles

some new idea it pushes

I'm always looking for a kaleidoscope element in designs

this is one of my favorite minds to visit: but does it float

after hours of research on med school the most defining moment was googling the highest paid occupation finding anesthesiologist sitting at the top it was an obvious and immediate decision


changing my mind, art school was the most natural choice and the decision to "live life for knowledge as my wealth" became my mantra


however, coming across the article 50 Best Careers of 2011 the look into a curator's future assured me more of my recent life decision, the position comes with more bang for its buck "Still, this is a job for people who love the work and can live without a fat paycheck." 


I want the leisure to travel, to forever engage my mind with newer and newer perspective and concepts for art, and become an expert in critique but first a Ph.D, first first a Bachelors

thrown into a graphic design introduction class for the love of typography was almost a regret, almost -
failing wasn't suppose to happen (obviously) but gaining from failure is much more important
I see absolutely everything in a graphic design now, my mind is forever changed to find the design in everything
so I used a typographic influence for my final business card

typography served was great help

"the idea that everyone sees the world in a purely subjective matter, is an objective concept in and of itself"

visually pleasing, however, my initial reaction was the idea of the menstrual cycle how chaotic and disturbing it can be but still maintained within a slender, delicate, whimsical woman
I also, almost immediately, reacted to it as a fashion illustration with the figures in over-exaggerated poses and the eye on the ultimate red cocktail dress

my subjective reaction to color was thrown by the deep stress of red - it can be used to enhance hunger in advertising, prosperity in the eastern hemisphere, or power as proposed in religious art work - it changed the figures to a strong, shaped, boom-pow piece of movement

I enjoyed that the only line work was to emphasize where one body ended and another began

the only improvement I would suggest would be to form the figures in a space of time or placement

question: is it one person in different movements?
