Deferred Motives

The primary intention for starting this blog is to have a showcase for my artwork.  At the moment, I don't really have anything new to add, as it's been a while since I've had time available to do any work.  But I have some older stuff that, while interesting, doesn't really reflect the direction I've been looking towards currently.  Anyway, in an attempt to keep things interesting instead of just openly bitching about things, I've decided to post some of this older work - most of which is sourced from digital photos or "appropriated" from elsewhere and manipulated with some generic free art programs that I don't even have anymore.

Enjoy.

Imprisoned Thoughts

This is just some boring squares, but I like the color palette.  I'm not sure what was used to create it, or what inspired it.  I like art, but I'm no scholar.  I just find the highbrow explanations of what inspired a particular work, or the hidden meaning the artist buried within their work to be just a little pretentious and tedious.

Tree

Not 100% certain that this was distorted from a photo I had taken, but I feel 99% confident that it was, because I think it was one of my mother's plants.  Again, this is nothing more than an attempt by myself to make something I liked.  It had no real meaning.  I still kind of like it.

Cascade

Really wish I had more information on these.  All I know is that from late 2005 through somewhere in 2008 I had spent a lot of time creating these images on my computer with nothing more than my desire to create them.  I have no real training using any kind of photo manipulation programs, and am a total amateur when it comes to anything done on a computer.  What this had been or how I made it, again I don't recall, because I didn't know what I was doing, and if I had to recreate it I wouldn't be able to if my life depended on it.

But that's enough for now, because I'm bored with this.  I'll probably end posting several more images from my limited body of work before I have anything new to showcase.
