cool thing 19

a look into the inside.

COOL THING JUN 4th - JUN 10th:

I wanted to share this piece of digital art that I made a few days ago. I basically took the thoughts that were circulating around my brain and recreated it from scratch on a blank canvas. the sunglasses, a symbol of "cool" in pop culture, provide symbolism to the interior reflection of the exterior world and how society has an influence on what is deemed "cool" (as opposed to an objective cool).

I call it cool thoughts.


we are 19/52 cool things deep into the 2018 goal of 52/52 cool things. that's right, 33 more cool things will be released for your watching, listening, viewing, and reading pleasure. and they will all be posted right here on frank's new blog.

cool thing bonus activity: got something on your mind? visualize it, then commit it to a digital canvas. it may be fractured, abstract, and sporadic, like my above creation, or it may drift closer to reality--wherever your thoughts take you, it will be cool!

the mind is an interesting place.

    1. maybe it would benefit you to check out frank's new blog's digital zine: volume 1, issue 1. there is a great run down on digital art that might benefit you. I also recommend you read the above post again, especially focusing on the statement "how society has an influence on what is deemed 'cool' (as opposed to an objective cool)." take some time to internally reflect on this. thanks for your feedback.
