“The wearer of spectacles” was my first vector image and though it
looks like the perfectly planned execution of an idea, it came about
after only a few minutes as the result of the completely spontaneous
use of this program I had never used before. After a few days of
working out the patterns of the fillings I had this hunchbacked
creature, carrying a pair of glasses. This originally just visual
fact became the basis for finding that word play “Der Brillenträger”
translated literally: “The carrier of glasses”. Finally I got the
idea, to make this an integral part of the composition. And this time
it is not hard to understand that the technical execution was easy,
different from 99,9% of those ideas “I” have sometimes, against which
my art producing brain part always offers me something more
convincing.
