Being obsessed with visual metaphors for years, I've slowly developed this brainstorming process to help come up with them faster for #DataViz, illustration, and infographic projects: https://t.co/fSqamgzIXX
I am continuing my series of Elements.
Today I published my art the Element of Air.
💧Water is an inward dive.

117. "What a curious feeling..." Rebecca says. "It's like being a cloud or an ice cream...".

"Yes, of course".
Emerson made reflection the most important metaphor in 19thC American culture: in a republic, the government reflects the electorate.
Accordingly, Church, Gifford, and Watkins all made reflection metaphors primary in their work.
So too Wayne Thiebaud, over and over.
...toned it back a bit from the early stages to the final, though, because I didn't dare piss off WotC. Just some PG-13 metaphors, because this piece calls for a sense of humor. Also, I sketched out an alien life-cycle that bridges the gap between flora and fauna!

One "Araki-ism" I've picked up on lately is strange and/or gross similes and metaphors.
My next book will be on ‘Victorian Sugar’ & how increased sugar intake in 19thC makes its way into the language, aesthetics,& metaphors that continue to shape our cultural discussions. So I’m totally fascinated by how that language/imagery gets fed back through the wombo ai😍🍭🍬
Albedo highkey reminds me of the main character, Yaha-kui zaShunina. Their voice textures and ways of speaking in metaphors are very similar
anyway PLEASE GO WATCH KADO

Shout-out to @Racesolar for the amazing portraits of my D&D Firbolg, Aago Dbois. Aago's a good boy who loves soup, is easily flustered, and doesn't understand metaphors. He also invented snowboarding 🏂
