Dudey's Doodles II

A doodle with an explanation.. a labelled illustration, if you will.

Also, this may not be how I look like in the real world, but as Morpheus explained to Neo in the Matrix: 

"Your appearance now is what we call "residual self image". It is the mental projection of your digital self." ;-)

Dudey's Doodles I

Flippin' Me

Dudey's heart is a grain in the hourglass. 

It keeps flipping back and forth between the two halves - in the future waiting to become present or in the past buried by the present. 

It keeps floating up and down - in the peaceful solitude or in the distrusting isolation.

It keeps being turned around - a new direction, a new era, a new emotion every time. 

Today's Coffee Break Piece:

- Inspirations Adapted -

A sketch I made a couple of months back.. at the beginning of a new turn in life.. borrowing Rene Magritte's concept of night and day simultaneously depicted on the same canvas, although definitely didn't pull it through just as neatly as him but well.. the inspiration counts ;)
My end of the contribution to this piece also includes the editing in Photoshop where I added all the coloured elements, both paints and textures.
Btw, it's not a scanned version of the sketch as you can tell from the sides of the pic, it's a photo I took of it, thanks to my BenQ's special Scene Mode for pictures of handwritten text. (H) =D
Left the edges of the real pic uncropped for a 'Bringing the Sketch to Life' effect on behalf of Photoshop ;)

This is the first piece of mine that was completely-"inspired" by Rene Magritte's painting of a moon through the leaves. And Yes, I'm a huge fan of his so-amazingly-unconventional and deeply-philosphical art. I love this one because it's a reminder for Optimism in life as the moon isn't hidden by the leaves but is placed in front of them. And Yes, I know I went a bit overboard with the "glow" of the moon! =D
