Blog 3 / / Photos and Textures

The first photo came from one of many parkway drives in Boone - imagine Frank Ocean playing, the windows all the way down, a car full of friends and laughter. The texture comes from my best friend Hannah's doodles, inspired by a recent break-up and Eat Pray Love.
The second photo came from when I lived in Chapel Hill, and on a particularly sad day decided to ditch everything and drive until I found somewhere beautiful. I came upon Lake Jordan in literally the middle of nowhere, which brought all the peace I needed. Overtop, another Hannah doodle- love is everything.
The third photo was on a trip to Asheville, when I came upon a man who was sitting and writing poems for anyone who wanted one, about anything. I had him write me a poem about coincidences, which is what I used for texture. The poem and the moment was beautiful.
To make all of these images, I basically just rotated every texture piece, cropped both the images together to make it fit, played with the opacity and different blending modes in layers.
