How did you come to know about dA and what does your username signify?
One of my friends :devEvilLizard: introduced me to dA. Another coined my username. As to the significance of my username, perhaps it alludes to how beauty in the form of a rose, like a thought, may rise from the grey, barren ashes of the land, from nothingness, and come to inspire Man to create art. Or perhaps t

One of my college friends ~burningbush showed it to me, I had no clue that art sites existed, I was blown away but not really interactive on here, and then later as I was trying to learn more about art as it was my area of study I found so much inspiration that I got hooked! My username is my nickname

I think I have always enjoyed thinking up ideas and plotting them, but one of my tutors in my BFA degree in Graphic Design got us doing a few exercises which challenged our way of thinking, it made me much more open minded and I really enjoyed the conceptual process of creating a story and portraying it through photography, design or any forms of art.

Sometimes I get ideas from no where, it can be when I am most relaxed. Other times it's from words, experiences, thoughts running through my mind when I'm contemplating and reflecting about life. I think it's also a combination of my love for nature and social concepts that get me going. Also from getting a good dosage of inspiration from images I think are clever, fun and different.

I think it would have to be my "I Heart You" piece![]()
I don't think anyone has done something like it before, so to me it's an original idea. It was also a great challenge since cutting the leaves were a bit difficult and it's a combination of things I love, nature, simplicity and typography. It's also my post popular piece.

That' a really tough one! I have so many I love! I think maybe this one:
It may not specifically be conceptual in terms of being panned, but the photographer definitely understood the concept he wanted to portray when he captured that moment in time. Even though it's so popular, there is a reason for it's popularity because of the huge contrast of the irony of the situation.

Currently I have a Nikon D3100, and I have a 100mm Macro lens that I love! I also arm myself with my pen pencil, staedtler pens in various tips and my sketch book and henna cones (I'm also a henna tattoo) artists.

Usually I contemplate on fine details like the key words, objects I can use, research the meaning of things, and also look for imagery that will help inspire me, then when I think I have the idea, I sketch them out, prepare what I need for it, if it's props for the set up if its a photograph, or choosing the right time of day or place. I think I contemplate everything before finally going ahead with the execution. To me having the concept down packed is much more important than getting it executed, because if something is off about the concept, the execution or post production wont help make it better or effective. Forgot to say that most of my conceptual work is in photography.

I don't usually have favourites, but I do like the work of Kyle Bean, his concepts are really creative, he does a lot of 3D work and installations and maybe Jessica Hische, she's a talented letterer and typographer. I think I would learn ALOT from them.

No idea is a silly idea, the point is to exhaust your ideas until you cant think of any more and then select the strongest of them, or merge a bit of the ideas to create something solid. Also don't get disappointed if many people don't get your concepts like you do, get feedback and critiques and see the response from viewers, use that as your foundation to get better. Keep practising and looking for inspiration and don't be afraid to ask for advice if you have the opportunity to.
