Hierarchy of Love
If you stick around this site long enough, you will hear (read) me go on and on about love. Brought up by hippie-wanna-be parents in the ’70’s I was || close to being named Starshine. I was raised on movies like “Billy Jack” and “Jesus Christ Superstar” where love is the central them. Billy Jack was a Rainbow Warrior before rainbows were usurped by the Pride activists. Combine that with my childhood subscription to Highlights magazine and you can find the inspiration for my Illustration Friday submission this week: Hierarchy of Love.
My mother has fallen out of her chair laughing at this point, and my father is simply rolling his eyes.
Seriously, I had a ton of ideas for this topic. There are lots of things written for what to do about a creativity block, but not a whole lot about dealing with a creativity flood. I now have ten projects listed from three basic ideas, none of which I felt I could complete and give justice to by Friday, let alone by tonight. I have dutifully made notes about them and filed them away. Rest assured if I ever get around to completing one of them, I’ll tell you about it here.
EDM 109: Draw a flame or flames
Most of my earliest childhood drawings had to do with muscle cars with painted flames, and flames shooting from the pipes, and smoke rolling off the tires. They were all black as night with bright yellow, orange and red flames. Until I saw Grease (the movie) and then many of them were red, white, and silver. I still love flames on hot rods. Even my bike has flame tread on the tires. So does the beanie that I usually wear when I ride. The other beanies have either Jack Skellington or shamrocks on them.
