Concept Development & Aesthetic Balance

A different description - see Animated Version

In yesterday’s article or below I discussed going back to my original Logo/Flag for a number of reasons. But being the person I am, I couldn’t help myself playing around with a different concept describing Outhouse Studios.

The above image has a hand on a stringed instrument and a hand on a mouse and color pouring out of what represents a simplistic monitor. When animated it becomes more obvious - but it would not surprise me in the least if the image were not well understood.

For instance, why is the hand on an egg?  I could have done the image a few times until it was clearer - and probably would have if it were for someone else; but I liked it as is.  I liked the oddly shaped unequal sized hands;  and I liked it with just this amount of color - for aesthetic balance and for how much truer the works become once they are printed.

These images (below and on my site) are very close to intended viewed over a monitor. That is the way they were created, but it seems they truly become real when printed. I don’t know if that is our conditioning to art or the way the pieces actually look. But as I have alluded to in many different aspects of art and life - either way it is the reality.
