This is my entry for @juliakponsford's Art Explosion Contest. The theme this week is erotica. It's something I'm not used to working with, so I decided to experiment with erotic pictures to see what kind of art I could create from them.
The Entry
The Process
I start by using Mirror Lab on free images of erotic photo shoots. One picture was of a woman in front of a mirror. When fractalized, and put through a filter, it looked intriguing. So I reflected it and used it as a background.
While browsing pixabay for images to use, I came across this series of nude poses someone created with the same model.
They contrasted nicely with the background and the different poses created different patterns while retaining some uniformity. So I reflected these images around the background, added a few other Mirror Lab edits and finished with lips as the central focus.

Thanks! I wasn't too sure about how to approach this theme, but reflecting and arranging photos with the inclusion of Mirror Lab can make anything look good.
Cyber-Erotica and cyber-psychedelica meet!
It's an awesome melding of these two themes!
Thanks man. Yeah, Erotic Psychedelia is a pretty intriguing combination that just kinda happened with this.

Thanks man. Being a creative Jack of all trades helps mix it up and trying out new stuff frees up those creative blocks.
