In her looking outwards, Sharon looked at the works of Columbian based artist, Daniel Aristizabal. I picked this looking outwards because I was shocked at the images were made from a computer program and not actually real. I love that the artist’s drive is to make mundane, everyday things look so surreal with the pop of contrasting colors, while at the same time maintaining the realism of the images. I also agree with the artist’s method of working: starting with pen and paper. I feel like the convenience of modern technology sometimes causes us to lock in on too many details before even having a desirable idea. I always became locked in on changing minute details in Photoshop or inDesign, and kind of got tunnel vision for hours, before realizing I wasn’t even that into the idea I was working on.
