More Gunpowder! More Fuse! More Fun! Right?
I try to work as little as possible.
Who am I kidding?
I am in The Blast Factory seven days a week. Thinking. Planning. Working.
I want to do a little as possible to the panel. But, there is always a tendency to do more.
More fuse. More gunpowder. More fun. Right?
I love the cleanliness of the grooves though. They look organic.
The color. The transitions. Fire sweeping over them.
They're emotional. That's how I see them.
They layer. They touch. But yet they are individual. Cool.
I don't do much shading. That is too much work. I leave it up to the explosions and burning.
Random shading? Sounds like a band name.
My work is very simple. I think it's not enough. Then perhaps it's too much. My perceptions change. Structural. Organic. Explosion. Chaos.
Then Renee says, "Vega, you are talking too much. Just light the fuse!"
Boom!
