Pro/Engineer 3D CAD software with a little "creative tweaking", some Photoshop filter play, too much coffee, the strange voices in my head... mix it all in with a little lack of sleep and a pinch of the mysteries of the cosmos, and you have "Abstract Interpretations of the Human Mind"...The above images were all created using Pro/Engineer. I'm a design engineer (mechanical), so I use this stuff every day for normal designing. One day, I started to mess around with some of the settings to see what would happen. Well... interesting things happened, to say the least :) I really enjoy creating these things. They are so... abstract I guess. And when I make them, I don't have any idea what it's going to end up looking like... where I'm going to end up. The image just develops as I go along. This makes it extremely interesting to me, because I think I'm tapping into a level of my subconscious or something... I move something a certain way, it pleases my eye, and I continue in that direction... or the opposite happens and I go in a different direction. Looking at these, I think they actually represent a reflection of my mood... or thoughts... or feelings... at the time the image was created.
Man... I think about this stuff WAY too much :)
