- My concept for this image was the existence of 'two worlds', the 'real' world and the surreal otherworld, and the theme of female sexuality within Murakami's novels.
- This sense of otherworldliness is represented through the contrast between the photograph and the textured ink drawing of the moon separated through the broken line.
- I used a colour palette of pink and blue in order to emphasise the theme of femininity and infer a feeling of melancholy - another prominent aspect to Murakami's work.
WHAT I LIKE:
- I really like the colour palette, not only does it work well with the concept, but the combination of blue and pink I think makes a really visually interesting and satisfying image.
- I am surprised by how effective the print of the photograph is and how well this contrasts with the drawn aspects of the image.
- The composition of this image, I think is really strong. I like how I am developing my drawing style but still combining this with my passion for simple graphic imagery.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
- The registration of the image was never right - I think this had something to do with the printing of the positives, so was unavoidable.
- I think the drawing of the girl is perhaps too overly sexual for the concept - maybe try something more subtle next time...
MOVING FORWARD:
- I would really like to experiment more with screenprinting and produce further images working with the contrast of drawn and photograph images.
- I would like to produce some screenprints using the opportunity to overlap colour within the print process.
