I've been reading a lot of scary stories/poems to help me come up with a concept for my animation and digital posters - this is one of those examples. I find reading disturbing and creepy stuff allows my mind to think about idea's I can use or how I would turn the words in to illustration and do them in my own way.
One of the main writers I've been looking in to has been H.P Lovecraft - he's an author who delves in to sanity and the world around us. One of the things he's known for is saying that sane people don't see the world for what it is because anything to disgusting (like monsters/ect,) we have learned to block out and ignore. Only insane people can see these things - which ironically, makes them the sane ones.
For this project, what I really want to do is show the kind of stuff I want to do - such as surrealism and creepy, shocking images. Thats why I'm going to come up with concepts based around these theories and look in to more writers like H.P Lovecraft, Richard Laymon, Stephen King and Junji Ito.
