Hopping On A Wave
Remember that towering wave that we rode on in the previous post ? It breaks into a new style here – we’re moving from flowing fantasy to scintillating chic; and from a smooth and gently curving style to one that is aggressively polygonal, with a tangy touch to it.
Flower Sea
The Postmodern flowers in matrix formation are faceted against the emerald hues of a glassy sea reflecting cerulean skies…
Modfish On Green
…While beneath the waters’ surface, a pair of fine-finned denizens of the tropical seas luxuriate in cushy-cool eddies and currents, dappled and scintillating with sunlight refracted by the wavelets above.
Flower Sea Reflecting Pink
Have you ever noticed how the waters of the ocean take on a different set of hues at sunset, when they are reflecting the sherbet pinks, reds, and oranges of the evening?
Modfish On Pink
…And beneath the surface of the evening waters, the denizens of the deep prepare for a glitzy nightlife in the tropical seas, against a hot pink background, with tangy punctuations of orange!
Digital Style Marine Scene
And so we have now transitioned into a new art style here.

NOTES ON THE CREATIVE PROCESS: The images in the current segment were done with vector graphics on computer. As in the past three posts, the images are intended to interconnect into each other. However, the nature of the vector graphics seems to call for a more “Pastiche” kind of approach, such that the images do not flow into each other so gently and smoothly as in the previous posts, but rather, combine with a kind of “dissonance”.
Breaking Into A New Style

The image above combines the images of the last post, which were drawn by hand, with the images in this post. Note the transition point, where the wave “breaks into a new style”. And so the combining together of the different images and styles in context could be called a form of “intercontexting”. (The hand-drawn images were drawn with my right hand, and the computer images were drawn with my left hand. Click here to see why.)
The commentaries are based on whatever thoughts and feelings the images happened to inspire within me when I was reviewing them. These all ultimately combine in context to form a long “train of thought” which stretches over a number of entries in this website…
PSYCHOLOGICAL NOTES: I like to have music playing when I review the images and conceive of the commentaries for the posts, and I notice that I seemed to prefer to have a different kind of music playing when I was reviewing these digital images than when I was inventing the commentaries for the previous segments. For the previous style, I usually enjoyed having “Classic Rock” playing in the background, while for this latest set of images, I gravitated more towards “Electronica” and “Dance” music styles. So I begin to speculate that certain styles of art may match better with certain types of music than others, as there is a different kind of feel to them. (You can expect to see a lot more of this kind of psychological speculation in future entries on this website…)
