Description
Yesterday afternoon, by way of a change, my work deviated from its usual mode and I found myself armed with scraper, tissue and lighter fuel... helping my boss remove the vinyl lettering from the front window of a Leicester gallery so that new updated lettering could be applied.
With so much adhesive gunk and general grime collecting on the tissue, it soon got pretty dirty, and at one point I found myself opening it up and studying the textures. Inspiration struck ;-)
Took it home and scanned it. This is a negative image, colourised, cropped and mirrored. I wanted to experiment with the resulting Rorschach-blot type image and a little text. I was thinking along the lines of the sort of design that's often used for book jackets.
The title was inspired by the two head-like eruptions, with feeler-like growths emerging from where the eyes, forehead and chin would be. The central structure could be seen as cyberspace, where we can connect with our friends... such as Cassie (crrunchyfrog) who I'm chatting with right now :-D
Anyone who's ever seen "The Grandmother" will be able to see where the Lynch dedication comes from, for the abstract forms in this image reminded me of Lynch's subterranean animations in that film :-)
Photoshop 7 (and a little Painter 5 to smooth out unwanted tissue fibres)
Thanks for looking and as always for your feedback :-)

Good work, some details are really interesting. You could go on this style. And, off course, I love David Lynch.

It's at 800x600 if anyone wants new wallpaper... if anyone wants it at bigger screen size (I use 1280x1024 for example) just IM me and ask ;-)

Genius. Most people would see a dirty tissue and throw it away, you my friend see beauty and help to show that to the rest of us. Murph

Y'know this, thinking on the evil side of life, would make a great texture and/or bumpmap for something...Like a falcon descending on an abstract field to capture a tasty morsel of art, kudos my friend...falcon.wav

Again I see a creature in this... I see evil creatures in everything... though they're all very stylish, and I'm sure they wear Armani suits, have black leather designer's couches and red carpet... ugh - me like picture - grunt.

Just a testament to how in nature you can find the most mysterious beauty. This work is unusually beautiful. Its chaos is handled in its repetition creating a visual poetry. Great homage to such an amazing artist as David Lynch!
