I've been thinking about different kinds of backgrounds. Backgrounds as something that we grow from. Backgrounds as something that seems irrelevant but is actually part of the picture. Backgrounds as additional information, like writing next to a sketch.
I thought about widely advertised software that allows you to erase other people or objects from your photos. I thought about how there is a lot of pressure from spell-checking and ai-based text support that suggests words for you and influences your tone in writing. I've been thinking about how different people use streaming services in different ways (both music and video). And I thought about plants and disobedience.
Ended up selecting these lemons and avocados as an illustration for all that thinking.
I recognize some tasty food illustrations here! Thank you for all the love and thought you put into these.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I like your deeper thinking about backgrounds both that of individuals and elements in a drawing. The background is the story and sometimes even the reason why the element being drawn is significant.
