“What is Creative Mondays?
Monday’s are always a drag. The start of a new week, you have to go back to that routine of going to bed early/get up early. If (like me) you have to commute then you prepare for that long journey into work and that long journey back for the first time after a nice two day break.
So to kick off those lousy Mondays, I’m going to get my creative mind flowing in a positive way. Creative Mondays. A chance for me to show off something unfinished or finished that I’ve been working on throughout the previous week.”
This week’s Creative Mondays piece is inspired by none other than Star Wars. My wife and I just finished watching the entire 6 film Blu-ray set and it never fails to impress me. The battles in space were awe-inspiring and as a kid I would try and watch every detail as the X-Wings took on the TIE Fighters.
With this piece I wanted to show the movement, chaos and excitement of the battles as the Rebel Alliance attempt to take down the Death Star and put a stop to the evil Emperor and Darth Vader.
What I loved about creating this was the fun I had. I sketched out a few ideas but mainly it was experimentation and seeing where the idea would take me. Sometimes it’s nice to free yourself from the usual boundaries and guidelines.
