Looking for my Locus[t]

Here it is. Those with a strong internal locus of control believe their actions and choices determine the events in their life. An individuals internal locus of control helps them to be more in control of their behaviors and actions. These ideas run parallel to other beliefs in other forms. The locust is symbolic of moving forward, willing to take risks. A locust does not jump backward.
I've been focusing a lot of my attention on how I can be in control of my life the last two and a half years. It is difficult learning to re-condition my mind. This has been hard, but I am seeing progress. I am moving closer to being in control of my thoughts, my feelings and my actions. Within this process I am finding that I am more confident in myself artistically and the direction that I am heading in.

  2. Looks like a movie poster.I'm loving the montage feel to this piece. Thanks for the truthful words of wisdom. Going to a school like AI is a big risk financial wise (damn loan). It had been the fastest 2 1/2 yrs. (or more) of my life

  4. like how used the geometric shapes in the figure, and the variety of shapes and textures in the locus. Just overall feels really strong, can defiantly see this on a book cover, album cover or movie poster.

  5. Thank you. I plan to get color into this sometime soon. Hadn't thought of it as a movie poster or book cover. That might be a good idea for a portfolio piece,no? As a mock book cover of course. i'd have to clean it up and make some tweeks. Critiques on how I can pump this up if I decide to go that route?

  6. Id probably mess with the placement of the text, that negative space in the bottom right hand corner feels a little distracting
