Description Imagine being stuck in a dream forever
better hope it wasn't a nightmare...

---

Edit

Some people were wondering how I did it... pretty simple really:

a big round coffee maker glass
running water (glass was put under tap)
star shaped pastry maker placed in water
levels edited in PS, along with a blue tone placed ontop.

I found something really good with editing the levels, it's great, especially for abstract shots like this

Super cool shot. When people ask you how you did something it doesn't hurt to explain--your the artist it's your porogative. It also says something about how original your ideas are. Which from what I've seen so far you have a great imagination. Keep it up!

I really like this shoot due to the vibrancy! The drops symbolize motion, life and progress for me.

that's fantastic ! that's a really imaginative shot. i love the energy in the bubbles, the vivid colouring and the the fact that the star isn't overly obvious at first, you need to look for it. an inspired piece

oh, and

Roxsquoggle In reply to spengler [2004-08-22 14:27:30 +0000 UTC]

yeah... The focus should be on the bubbles, but the star is meant to be slightly apparent. You got it in one

ever so creepy--i always have dreams where i am underwater and i think i am going to drown, but it turns out that i can breathe underwater. sometimes i wish i could breathe underwater--kind of like a mermaid. that would be awesome.

i really love the bubbles and the coloring of the image. abstract.

wow, that sounds cool I've had dreams like that too, when I was younger though. I'd be in my house and it was filled with water, and I was swimming through it... but it was like I could breathe aswell.

looks like... a star shaped thing for dough / baking stuff, in... water........
very nice.
how does one take these beautifull sudden shots? always wanted to do something like this, but with glass smashing instea.d..

Roxsquoggle In reply to lugerman [2004-08-10 12:02:34 +0000 UTC]

I dunno, it was really just trying it out, cos I used a flash on glass (always dodgey)
and it was a rounded glass...

glass smashign would be cooool...

IMgregBitch [2004-08-09 23:12:00 +0000 UTC]

ooo very pretty. the concept is thoughtfull, i dont know if i could handle being stuck in a dream forever the thought frightens me, even if it was a good dream you would loose all train of thought after a while time would stand still you wouldnt know what is happening you would just be in your own little ignorant world. and you would never have to change the way you were becuase nothing challenging would ever happen, you would never better yourslef, aside from thought. hmm interesting i should stop. but anyways i love this shot, you have to be by far one of my favorite artists on deviant art. i love all of your stuf
