Shatner sees all

I really like this piece from William Shatner on his recent trip into space. I love how it mentions a moment in popular culture and then completely undoes it, yet also reflects on the beauty of Earth and its fragility. An expression of fear, underpinned by love. Technology and technical advancement are fantastic and amazing and we can view them positively but having our feet on the ground is necessary from time to time.

Vanilla

SuperRare Genesis through Joy of NFTs Space. 🖤🖤🖤

Digital Mixed Media Animation utilizing Procreate, Photoshop, Photomosh and After Effects.

Vanilla started with the word prompt Chaos and a 10 minute abstract sketch on Joy of NFTs with NFTGirl. As I continued to work on the piece after the show, the memory of a friend gifting me stationary and a pen when I was 18-19 with a highly sexual, winking melting sundae and it said "Hot Mess" kept coming back to me, so I had to draw it.

I realized through the process of drawing it, all the feelings from around that time started to surface which I decided to lean into. As a teenager, instead of expressing my sexuality, I was forced to suppress it to placate those around me - hence the vanilla ice cream tipping towards the term vanilla used in the BDSM world for people not in it. Where I grew up, being anything but straight was life threatening at worst, socially threatening at best, so even though I'm a queer woman, expressing any desire towards the feminine form was something I learned to self censor at a young age out of self preservation.

This repression caused a multitude of uncomfortable, chaotic and conflicting feelings which is evident in the bright colors against the grey static. Chaos layers on chaos boxed in explodes over the top melting drops in the volcanic overflow that inevitably happens. As I've gotten older and living in places more accepting of different lifestyles and sexualities, I've stopped mostly self-censoring. Instead the conflict now is against external censorship of my story, my art and who I am.

Vanilla is all of these frustrations layered in the silliness of an ice cream cone with tits to bring forth a saccharine expression of hiding myself for so long and for some others not willing to accept me for who I am: a lewd, hot mess.

CONNECT=D #2

This piece is a second iteration because I reworked it from circles into triangles. Despite the first piece not having actual spirals in it, it was picked up as having a feel of the New Zealand Kōru motif. Reworking with triangles was a good move from that respect, as it keeps me significantly away from any perception of cultural appropriation but also it was a really good exercise to get me acquainted further with this approach to using basic shapes and connecting bezier curves. I like the harmonies in the movements here, and having some straight lines among the curves was a satisfying balance of shapes, allowing for lot of meditation and reflection on the fundamentals of geometry. Beyond that, the stylistic approach here has opened up two new lines of investigation that are quite deep - One is the use of thick strokes (it's gonna get thicker) and the other is some discoveries in the AfterEffects local shape settings, which is an underused area of the program if the results I've seen with your motion graphics moves of today are to be the measure. Today I completed CONNTECT=D #3, which will close this trilogy. In using squares, it's a departure in its structure (obviously), but it also runs three times the length of these two, to accommodate the 'travelling' of its elements.
