a trip back to an... odd time.

Ah, 2004. See, I got into graphic design and all that nonsense around about 2003, but I got into the online graphic design community around 2004. This is where thing started to get serious for me. I was an impressionable young lad, looking everywhere for inspiration and guidance. But in 2004, all I remember was a huge trend leaning towards chaos in digital canvases.
It was odd. Arguably, this is probably why my work is still a huge mess, but I'm trying to get out of the habit. But not here! This is a little tribute to those times, to all the art groups who pushed the noble cause of FORGETTING ABOUT COMPOSITION, MEANING, COLOUR THEORY AND ALL THAT OTHER JAZZ.
So yeah, I pretty much just did what they did, went crazy, didn't care for composition, made it look as crazy as possible. It kinda looks terrible, but then again. It was meant to look like this, so it's all good, right? RIGHT?!
Also, big ups to `dholms. My first digital art love.
