- going in the right direction.
- Ben seemed to like my abstract thumbnails - maybe I should progress these as well as the more figurative?
- One of the countries showing contrast of Murakami's influences - oriental and west - japan and america, could be better in landscape format?
- like the maze idea
I find this tutorial reassuring and inspiring, but not useful in helping me select ideas... Chris' work on Murakami definitely caught my eye - I think something he's done which I should try myself is really focused on particular themes and tried to communicate them through simple visual metaphors. e.g. he looked a lot at how Murakami enjoys isolation, and his images of him running really do evoke this sense of being alone.
In terms of which ideas I'm going to progress into more resolved sketches I think Im going to look at the maze idea, the country/island image, explore more images about his relationship with running and maybe expand more on my abstract/compositional images. I think I need to play around more with format, and perhaps media? - since I do collage sketching can only take me so far...
