“Cosmic Forces” was born from an in class assignment to paint my shoes. Rather than leave a flat white background, I decided to let my inner child take over the rest. Focusing less on the technical aspect of painting, and more on my illustrative desire to create a fantasy world, I began randomly. I splashed clusters of asteroids, planets, and rocket ships wherever I saw fit. The result was an incredible combination of my modern, technical art skills, and my childlike desire to play and have fun with the paint.
