IlloFriday....escape....


another illo for you guys to fiest your eyes on. this one is for escape, and whether you agree with my interpretation or not, i hope you like it and leave me some feedback. as you can tell, i painted some funky, mis-shaped music notes ( and for those of you that are not music savvy, that one in the middle is a formata, it is placed above a note and is meant to let you know you should hold that note ). i wanted to make these notes appear to have a Salvidor Dali feel to them, seeing as how he is one of my favorite artists. then on top of the piece, i did some awesome light splatter painting, which added a nice splash of color, but also was another tribute to another favorite artist of mine - jackson pollack. okay, so now that all the explanation is out of the way, its time for the interpretation and the way it fits with the topic. unlike some of my other abstract pieces, i decided to take this topic personally. i asked myself what kind of things or means help me to escape my reality. well easy....two things are for sure, art and music are definately my escapes! so i decided to mix the music with art and even give some props to some of my faves - dali and pollack. i was really pleased with the way this one came out, and i even got decent pix out of it. so here is escape and i hope you leave me your thoughts, which by the way, i really appreciate!
enjoy.

I love this. It suits you to a T. Music is what you all about and I see how it is your escape, as is your art. In the smaller version it looks like it should be some arcylic 3d piece. Great job!

been waiting for you to post. i was curious to see what you entered. whether this is for escape or a stand alone visual, it is great. very nice composition and use of colors (vivid against neutral).

Chacha, I can see both Dali & Pollack in your painting. I too love both art and music... probably equally. Good job.
