I would like to welcome you here in some kind of a brainstorming blog.
My plan is to create a new world that is absolutely beautiful – beautiful because of one main reason: it does not exist!
This is not really a completely new point of view; we know this from our dreams. Even the worst nightmare can have its positive aspects because of its virtuality. Sometimes we even gain control over our dreams and can so enjoy more than one “life”…
And “having control” is the second important aspect for a wonderful world – no need to be afraid any more…
The filthiest corner of a street can become beautiful in an artificial world. A beautiful landscape becomes even more wonderful.
(I assert that this is not just a matter of taste! My painting skills are still in great need of improvement, but nevertheless here is an example for a nice reality and its greater virtual beauty. Additionally, we must not forget that already a photograph is some kind of abstraction of the real world.)
The question that remains is, if it will be possible to keep up this kind of “pseudality” forever? Can this real virtual/virtual real world be something consistent? Is our mind strong enough?
(As the non-existing world is strongly influenced by reality it seems that there are some inextricable contradictions).
We will see…
I am not yet sure what to do with this new world. I only know and feel that I HAVE TO create and tell about it. The form is still uncertain – a novel, a comic strip, a game… what ever. We will see…
I know that this is quite a massive project and I will still have to learn and practise A LOT – especially in traditional and digital drawing/painting (sometimes words aren’t enough…). I need to get more familiar with some software and most important of all, for sure, I need to develop and express concrete ideas on this world and its (hi)story.
It will take time, but fortunately, I am not in a hurry. :-)
Usually, I am quite a secretmonger, but I know that showing and telling others about what is going on, can be a very good motivation for keeping up the work.
I will try to keep the entire blog in English (feel free to correct my mistakes). For the story itself I cannot guarantee this, because usually it is easier to write something “literary useful” in ones mother tongue.
(If you are a hardcore realist, please accept my apologies. I know that there are many realists in this world, who only can appreciate beauty when (and because) it is REAL…. Booooring, I say. ;-) Real beauty needs an idealistic point of view. Therefore it is necessary to create or at least to add something artificial (an imagination of perfect beauty which exists only in our minds) to reach the optimum. But this is another story to tell or/and argue about…).
Cheers!

AntwortenLöschenI think this is a very wonderful idea that you have proven also with the wonderful drawings.
