Power = Work x Height/Time
How does the brain create work? My brain is constantly churning out new ideas. So many painting, writing, and random ideas that I could never keep up.
So, how to show the concept of "mind"? My first thought was to have a person's head with the top kind of lifted up as strands of imagination flowed out.
But that was too Hannibal for me. I still get nightmares from that movie. So I decided to go a less disgusting way.
Gears! Gears churning. Gears inside someone's head. Gears inside someone's head churning out ideas.
See the gears? They are in the three primary colors: Red, yellow, and blue. From these three basic colors, all other colors are possible. (Except white which is of course the absence of color. The white strands represent wisps, hints of ideas that sometimes turn into something concrete, but often blow away like smoke.)


The theory is that everyone thinks with one side of the brain more dominantly than the other. There are quizzes you can take online to tell you from what side of the brain you think. I am a dork. I took two quizzes and I scored the same thing:
I am 63% left brained. I think more logically, focusing on math, language, and all things dork. I would agree with this. Even while painting I am very rigid and structured. It's hard for me to do abstracts. This is about as abstract as I can get, and I squirmed the hole time while painting this.
What side brain do you think you are?
