style
Almost didn't end up with a post this week as it's been a great day of hanging with my family, seeing some great art, and eating some delicious food. Sometimes the real world comes knocking and I'm always up to shift focus when the opportunity presents itself.
I've been listening to a lot of pop music lately, which always manages to take me to an atmosphere ready to be filled with productive activity. I don't know the why or how of it all, but that's what I love about music in general; as it always finishes off any state of mind with smooth edges and tight limits.
So I've been thinking about where style comes from and what (if any) are the pre-requisites to defining style. I don't mean the concept of having style; rather creating a particular recognisable style that permeates its way through your work. You know how you can pick a Picasso just by looking at it most of the time, that kind of style. Not the kind that you buy at a shop and wear for a few months before donating it to the local op-shop.
