Imagine . . .

I love to pull inspiration from music, the media, and people I encounter. Recently I've notice my taste in music reverting back to rock. I've been listening to A Perfect Circle's album called "eMotive". The second single, entitled "Imagine" is very powerful to me. It puts me into a trance and gives me tingles all over. I feel like the song's lyrics and melody physically grabs my mind and takes me into the world the songs speaks about, a truly united world, with no religion, no countries, no hell below . . . just sky. I wonder what I could to with this concept artistically. I'm still amazed at how diverse my taste in music is. I feel I have alienated myself from those who may also be fans of A Perfect Circle's Music. Most of my friends like Brittney Spears, Beyonce, and Rihanna . . . or anything of the such. I want to reconnect with the other sides of my personality. and find people who can nurtrure those sides. I strive to be as well rounded as possible.

As far as fashion goes, there's this theme of sepia tones and reptillian inspired patterns and sillhouettes, bronzed skin, and a lot of angst, that has been inspired from a song entitled "The Libertine" from Patrick Wolf. The song is so provocative, it makes my mind perspire with imagery . . . I think of seductive clothing, extreme conditions, the desert, wilted hair stuck onto the face, moistened, bronzed skin, intense hues . . . Extreme contrast . . . I'm going to begin sketching tonight hopefully. I feel very good right now although I'm a little exhausted. Well that shouldn't stop me, it doesn't stop me from going clubbing so it should no longer stop me from my art.
