Another one of Soto’s works,
that I feel inspire me, is “Telephone Poles – Abu Ghraib,” for a number of
reasons.
The concept of this
illustration, I feel, is to focus on a number of underlying messages that cause
controversy around the world, and still manage to possibly associate itself
with a well-known children’s story “Peter Pan.” I feel as though I could take
this subject of children’s storied and relate them to problems around the
world, related to religion, terrorism, money and social views on other
cultures.
The style of the illustration
is rather miss-matched in my opinion; a cluster of images all done rather
differently to Soto’s other work. It gives off a strong feel of confusion,
obviously related to both religious and political views which would explain
some inner conflict between morals and duty. I feel as though this could give
me insight into how to include and incorporate other images into my pieces of
work, without simply placing them around or next to the main character or center
piece. This would also allow me to fill up my pages of work rather than giving
them a simple background, which would make my work look a lot more professional
and effective.
I also feel that I could be inspired by his
work because of the way he lines his work: he almost does the exact opposite to
what I normally do and has very sketchy and disjointed lines to outline his
work. This gives off the feeling of anger or quickness, which can make the
image look vastly more effective than having clean and flowing lines,
especially for the subject that I think the image is meant to depict. It would
also help the time scale and development of my ideas, as it would save me time
on outlining my work and would give me a better chance to concentrate on my
colour scale, as I have trouble deciding on a typical colour palette, while my
drawings are lined in simple black.
