You might have noticed this already. I like to mess about with pictures and graphics. I'm in no way a talented artist, my hand drawings have looked the same since I was about three, you can see what I mean if you look back to last week. What I love though is the way graphics applications neutralise any real world deficiencies and allow even people like me, who are in posession of the artistic prowess of Catpain Caveman, to do stuff that would be very hard in real life.
It's a very powerful form of expression. Elke had an image of a box of sweets on her blog yesterday where she invited visitors to 'vitually' help themselves. I took the image and played about with it before posting it back up to her posts' comments a few minutes later, I had great fun playing with that image and with the concept.
It's taking real world imagery and playing with it, distorting it, changing it around and presenting it back to the viewer as a different entity, that's a really powerful form of creative expression. Almost superhuman powers that enable physical things to become different physical things, if you know what I mean. But I'm no wordsmith so you probably don't. I'll just keep playing with the images. B3TA.COM has some great ones too.
