If rhymes were valium i'd be comfortably numb

this image takes on a negative presentation. From phase I, the image has been rendered with pen and ink, and the composition has not been changed a whole lot. There is much more finite texture in this piece, which is accomplished through the illustration style.

In terms of a message, the visual style of this illustrative image has a code. The rendering method carries a definite aesthetic. The naive linework and organic forms suggest that it has a negative connotation, but not overly so. The way the linework starts to deconstruct the image suggests an element of disarray, or lack of confidence. I dont feel like the image carries as much negative weight as i anticipated. The grid paper in the background, coupled with the color choices lead me to interpreting the style as almost trivializing the negative aspects of this piece, making it just a touch less negative. As for a channel, the image is derived from an image i supplied, which is effective.
