From Erick Villa-Gomez:
… everyday we are bombarded with all types of visual flotsam. Images of everything—from buildings and ads to people and products—are hitting our retinas and interpreted by our brains. More often than not, these images and experiences trigger other fleeting thoughts. A conversation with friends, perhaps? A childhood experience? Maybe a random lesson taught by an elementary school teacher? …
Visual Thoughts is my attempt to capture those brief (but important) moments—a mental snapshot where words and image have collided as I go about my day.
I invite readers to guess their locations in the comment section, treating the set of information (drawing and words) as clues.
Visual Thoughts will run bi-weekly and I invite other people to contribute their own “visual thoughts” for publication here on Spacing Vancouver. If you are interested, don’t hesitate to contact me at erick@spacing.ca.
And for all of you self-conscious artists and sketchers out there, you don’t need to be an established “master drawer”….anything will do, as long as there is a story – humourous, serious, thought-provoking, whatever – that goes with the image and the drawing is somewhat recognizable as a place.
