Description
A bit of fun for a pet project of mine. All traditional (ink, brush, on paper) -- with a little bit of computer cheating: last year I made a few "star fields" by totally inking-up pieces of paper, then splattering white paint on top. I scanned them and I've been using them to cut-and-paste stars into pictures ever since. That's what I did here, too.Expect another couple pieces in this vein soon.

This is great.
As for the starfields (which look awesome, by the way), why didn't you just splatter white paint on black paper? Why ink up a piece of white paper?

Or, for that matter, why not splatter black ink on white paper, scan it, and invert the colors?
Well, you can't see it on this because I cranked the contrast up a bit, but when you ink up a piece of paper, the scanner picks up variations where the ink is thicker in some places and thinner in others, and it gives a subtle cloudy/wash effect, like the milky way gives a cloudy effect (when you're not in the city and you can actually see it).

Of course! That makes perfect sense. It would make the general texture that much more interesting and organic. Good work.

Thanks. I'm playing with some colors right now as a matter of fact.
