This is an incredibly intriguing post. Particularly because I, as well, am using an animal as my primary image.
Thanks for a great post. It’d be great to hear more opinions about the uses of animals as imagery.
Does it lack creativity because it’s not based off something imagined or is the fact that it’s a readable abstraction from something existent that truly makes it creative?
