My opinions on red.
Journal Entry: Mon Jan 28, 2008, 10:32 PM
I have always had a curiosity with red and black. I have always thought it was a little weird as well because that combination doesn't always display "friendliness".
I think I know why though. For some genius psychologist this may be elementary but I think it's due to animal instinct and a perception of ourselves really.
black equals darkness, which is the fear of the unknown or that which we cannot see. animals like us stay hidden at night because it's fear that drives them to keep safe.
red equals blood, which is the obvious sign that our bodies have suffered trauma. we know what will hurt us so we stay away from those things. again, it's the fear that keep us safe.
this is why red and black have the most power.

I'm glad to have favourited your work' untitled 1'. It really calls out to be faved. I just love the colour and positioning of each block of shape. The eye is drawn along the red dash, travelling the complete piece flowingly.
I don't know if you are aware of the fact, but I'm doing a study at college on how people decide they like or dislike a piece of art. At the top of my page I had a statement outlining the study, I don't know if you saw it.
I've just been reported to the staff here on DeviantART by an artist for intellectual property infringement, and was very saddened and shocked by this. I wish to fully inform all those whos work I favd.
I just want to let you know that no infringement of your intellectual property was intended, or will occur at any time during my study, and that if you want to withdraw at any time, please let me know. No profit is or will be made, and all images are used under the fair uses rationale (low resolution image only, all credit to the artist, academic purposes only, etc). I'm not printing the works at all, I'm only displaying them on a computer screen for a few seconds, and that's it.
If I'm not banned, I plan to continue posting updates of my study, and the final findings in or around March.
I hope that you feel positive, feel fully informed, and would like to take part. If you have any further questions, please contact me, and I will be only too happy to clear anything up, or just have a chat about it, art, or anything else.

Really enjoy your work. I never know what to say on here, it's more than just 'I like it', some of it seems to speak to me and I take it in on deeper level. Great stuff.

The ideal way to do it would be to get two lamps, position them at equal distances from the work at a 45 degree angle pointing towards the work from either side... i just can't justify spending the money on identical lamps and i don't have any space to do this kind of thing anyway. it's actually kind of frustrating...

the problem I have with taking pictures is the lighting. sometimes I have too much and it creates a glare or just not enough light at all.

thats very cool. very inventive.
When I build the plywood base, I had 1x2s or 2x2s on the back to give it depth.. then it gives it the canvas look without being canvas.
I find canvas to be really restricting since I like to glue and paint things into my work.
