It’s one of my flaws that I spend a majority of my time trying to see how people’s minds work based on whatever criteria I have about them; for author’s it’s their words, programmers it’s their code, and artists it’s their pieces. In all of those examples there is so much that can be inferred from structure, composition, and tone (if you think programming languages don’t have tone then you don’t spend enough time with them). Am I stupid enough to think that I’m right about what I infer? Sometimes… not usually. But I generally end up pretty close to a small part of the truth about a person. I liked looking into that small window of Cam Floyd’s mind, especially since it had the added bonus of his work being so visually appealing. His work is loose in a way that I really enjoy, but thoughtful enough that there is still organization to his compositions. And his illustrations keep that same style, but with the message being a little more direct. What all of my bullshit boils down to is that the guy is seriously talented as an artist, and from what I can tell, not a serial killer. Win/win.
