motivated by yoshitaka amano.

i've always been impressed with how yoshitaka amano created a very original style of art for himself. if you know him, you'd be able to automatically tell if a piece belongs to him or not. for some reason, when i look at his pieces i think "pop art" and also "traditional art", which really doesn't make sense but it's just how i observe things. i really love his art, from the smallest little details to the washed out colors to the bold, solid colors. when i look at it, i get this weird feeling in my stomach. everything looks pretty but dull at the same time, and it makes me feel really nostalgic for some reason. i don't know how to put my feelings into words when i see amano's work, but it's definitely something. now i'm just rambling.

this is giving me a pretty good idea of how i want my self-portrait surrealism piece is going to turn out. i'm excited to dedicate some time into this.
